Tunisia EU provides additional €50 million in emergency humanitarian aid to Palestine
The European Commission has released an additional €50 million in humanitarian assistance to respond to the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza and to address the rising humanitarian needs in the West Bank. This brings total EU emergency humanitarian aid in 2025 to €220 million to Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and to over €550 million since 2023.
The first ever famine has been confirmed in Gaza and the massive, forced displacement caused by the ongoing Gaza City military offensive is leaving families desperate for food, shelter, healthcare, and protection. In the occupied West Bank continued forced displacement, severe movement restrictions, and settler violence lead to acute humanitarian needs in protection, shelter, and access to basic services.
The EU’s additional funding will help its humanitarian partners on the ground deliver life-saving assistance both in Gaza and the West Bank. Safe, unimpeded access for humanitarian workers is vital across Gaza, and civilians must be protected wherever they are.
Since October 2023, the EU has also organised 77 Humanitarian Air bridge flights and has shipped 5,037 tonnes of relief supplies, including medicines, medical supplies, shelter, water and sanitation, and educational items on behalf of humanitarian partners, EU Member States and from the EU’s own stocks. Since 2024, the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, has also coordinated the medical evacuations of 306 patients throughout Europe.
