President von der Leyen is in Cairo to discuss the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza with the Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.
She was also there to hand over EU aid to the Egyptian Red Crescent. All made possible by a great cooperation with the Egyptian authorities and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
Team Europe remains the largest aid donor to the Palestinian people.
Egypt is working to get this humanitarian aid to Gaza via Rafah, truly a much needed lifeline to civilians in Gaza. We are also supporting Egypt as it helps wounded Palestinians.
