The EU is providing an additional €50 million in humanitarian aid to Ukraine. The EU is providing €50 million in humanitarian funding to support people affected by Russia's war in Ukraine, including €45 million in Ukraine and €5 million for Moldova.
The total EU humanitarian funding in response to the war now stands at €143 million. This funding is part of the €1 billion support package pledged by the European Commission at last week's global "Stand Up For Ukraine" pledge event.
The new funding will address the most pressing humanitarian needs by providing emergency medical services, access to safe drinking water, shelter and protection, cash assistance and support against gender-based violence.
Crisis Management Commissioner Janes Lenarsic said that "with millions of people on the move or trapped in active war zones, the needs in Ukraine are already enormous. Now, we must be prepared for a further increase in Russia's relentless attacks on Ukraine, especially in the east. With this additional €50 million, the EU continues to rapidly make humanitarian funding available to its partners in order to provide an even greater boost in aid. It will help people in hard-to-reach areas who have been cut off from access to healthcare, water and electricity, and those who have been forced to flee and leave everything behind."
