Global funding shortages mean that out of 239 million people needing assistance this year, only fewer than half can be reached.

Worse, attacks on aid workers have reached horrific levels.

We are responding with concrete actions to improve how funding reaches those in need:

➡️ Strengthening humanitarian diplomacy to protect aid workers.

➡️ Empowering local actors and communities in the humanitarian response.

➡️ Reforming supply chains to maximise cost-effectiveness.

We provide 35% of global humanitarian funding, making us the world's largest donor.

We refuse to back down.

@EUCommission I wish we also provided humanitarian aid to Gaza and the West Bank and stopped helping the genocidal occupation forces there.

The EU has been providing humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in need since 2000, supporting vulnerable families affected by emergencies and shocks.

@Schouten_B @EUCommission I guess I didn't know as I stayed in the surface of "We're deeply concerned, we are monitoring the situation".

@calvaris @EUCommission There's a lot of awareness and in many cases more money than we know what to do with. But then there's of course Israel stopping a lot of it from reaching its intended recipients.
