Humanitarian aid must reach people in need, and civilians must be allowed to leave. The EU is engaging with relevant partners and using every available avenue to facilitate assistance, including for people trapped in temporarily occupied territories.

Regular EU exercises are one of the actions set out in the Preparedness Union Strategy to strengthen Europe’s readiness for complex crises.

This funding will provide lifesaving and protection assistance to the people most in need. It will support emergency food assistance and nutrition, healthcare, access to water, sanitation and hygiene services, protection, shelter and essential household items, as well as education in emergencies.
