EU launches $1 billion aid initiative for Gaza
The package will fund water, sanitation and debris removal as donors seek to support early recovery and rebuilding in the enclave.
- On Monday, the European Commission and more than a dozen nations launched the 'Team Gaza Initiative' in Brussels, pledging $1 billion in aid projects to help Gaza recover from war.
- The small coastal enclave remains in ruins more than 2-1/2 years after the conflict began, with the United Nations estimating rebuilding work in Gaza will cost around $70 billion.
- Israel's bombardment displaced nearly the entire population of 2 million people, who now live in tents or damaged buildings in territory where Israeli troops control nearly 70% of the land.
- European Commissioner for the Mediterranean Dubravka Suica said the initiative will support restoring water, sanitation, and health systems, stating, "Our objective is clear: to help build hope, resilience and a better future for the Palestinian people."
- Participating nations include France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, working alongside the European Investment Bank and World Bank, while Australia and Canada have expressed interest in joining the effort.
