Today, an additional EU humanitarian air bridge flight for people in need in #Gaza is bringing to 🇪🇬 over 35 tonnes of hygiene and wash items supplied by 🇬🇷 and our humanitarian partners.

The 🇪🇺 remains committed to continue providing assistance to #Palestinians in need.

We are mobilising a new batch of generators to #Ukraine from our #rescEU reserves - a critical tool in responding to urgent needs in war-torn Ukraine. I also thank 🇦🇹, 🇩🇪, 🇸🇪 and 🇳🇱 for their offers of generators to 🇺🇦 via the #EUCivilProtectionMechanism .

Aid delivery by land is the most effective and efficient way to reach Palestinians in desperate need in #Gaza .

A convoy of 10 trucks set up by the 🇪🇺 is currently on its way from Dubai to Gaza transporting 134 tonnes of aid supplied by Irish Aid and our humanitarian partners.

I thank 🇮🇪 and Micheál Martin for being such a strong champion of International Humanitarian Law.

Rules of war are not optional. They must be respected by all parties and everywhere.

Also in #Gaza . Protecting civilians and allowing for humanitarian aid needed is a must. #IHL

I have started my visit to Dublin today with an indepth exchange with the 🇮🇪 humanitarian aid stakeholders on:
🔺️the need to invest in human development,
🔺️the increasingly complex conditions for relief work, from the erosion of #IHL to the growing funding gap. #EUsolidarity

Dear Martin Griffiths, it has been a privilege to work with you during this turbulent time.

Best wishes.

The EU is boosting its aerial firefighting capacity under #rescEU , the EU's strategic crisis response reserve.

€600 million in EU funds will be used to purchase 12 new planes, which will be hosted by Croatia, France, Italy, Greece, Portugal, and Spain. ↓

#EUCivilProtection

There has been a lot of debate and finger-pointing about the challenges to getting aid to people in need in Gaza.

So, let’s settle this once and for all.

The breakdown of #IHL in #Gaza has led to a total collapse of the healthcare system.

Today, I spoke to students at UAntwerpen on:
🔺️what this means for people in Gaza,
🔺️what is necessary to improve the situation and
🔺️how 🇪🇺 is providing much-needed aid.
