TunisiaEU and Spain provide €15.5 million for the payment of social allowances to vulnerable Palestinian families
In Gaza, where the humanitarian crisis is escalating, the EU is partnering with the Ministry of Social Development and various international organizations to deliver aid through multiple humanitarian channels. This comprehensive approach aims to reach the increasing number of vulnerable families there and address their basic needs amid the ongoing war there.
This payment for social allowances is part of the short-term emergency financial support to Palestine addressing the most pressing needs, as announced by the European Union. It will target 27,561 extremely poor families, persons with severe disability and elderly above 65 years without pension in the West Bank. The European funding is channelled and verified through the PEGASE mechanism to ensure their eligibility. Various independent and external checks are carried out before and after the European disbursement. The EU is providing €13.5 million while Spain is providing €2 million.
