On Friday, the European Union's executive arm announced that in 2024 it will allocate an initial sum of $134m for Palestinian humanitarian assistance.
"With each passing day, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens," the European Commission said in a statement.
The European Commission announced that the newly allocated funds will aid humanitarian groups operating in both Gaza and the West Bank.
"In response, the Commission has rapidly mobilised its wide set of emergency response tools. With a total of 30 humanitarian air bridge flights organised, already 1,000 tonnes of assistance have been sent to the people in need in Gaza," the EU added.
