Gaza has been facing dire shortages of food, water, and health care. Many are on the brink of famine.

With World Health Organization (WHO), the EU is delivering life-saving medicines to the most vulnerable Palestinians, who are suffering from serious ailments due to the ongoing war.

Since last October, our commitment to support Palestinians in need in #Gaza led us to organise 51 🇪🇺 humanitarian air bridge flights and deliver over 2100 tonnes of aid - an operation that involved joint efforts with our humanitarian partners and EU Member States.

The Ministerial part of the 8th edition of the Brussels Conference on 'Supporting the future of Syria and the region' will take place on 27 May in Brussels.
