TunisiaEuropean Humanitarian Forum announces pledges of over €7.7 billion for global crises
The third edition of the European Humanitarian Forum concluded in Brussels, co-organised by the European Commission and the Belgian Presidency of the EU.
At the Forum, EU Member States together with the European Commission announced the planned humanitarian funding of more than €7.7 billion for 2024, as a concrete expression of global solidarity and of the EU’s leading role in humanitarian action.
In particular, the EU and Member States committed to taking action in addressing conflict and preserving humanitarian space, notably in the deteriorating situation in the Gaza Strip. EU ministers expressed grave concern regarding the current humanitarian situation in the Strip and called for rapid, unhindered, safe and continued humanitarian access to the people in need.
The participants also focused on promoting compliance with International Humanitarian Law (IHL) globally in today’s armed conflicts and welcomed the announcement of an independent, non-governmental initiative named “IHL in Focus”. Concretely, this initiative will establish a yearly analysis on current armed conflicts and related IHL violations to contribute to setting out the state of compliance with IHL across the world.
