Joint Donor Statement on Humanitarian Aid to Gaza
- On 19 May 2025, foreign ministers from over 20 countries issued a joint statement urging Israel to fully resume humanitarian aid access to Gaza and enable impartial UN operations.
- This appeal follows over two months of Israeli blockade that exhausted food, medicine, and essential supplies, while aid agencies faced severe operational challenges and risks.
- The statement insists aid must reach Gaza independently and calls for accountability measures to protect civilians and humanitarian workers amid ongoing violence.
- European Commissioner Hadja Lahbib highlighted that the US withdrawal of $10 billion in humanitarian funding threatens global health programs, risking increases of 30% in tuberculosis and 300% in HIV cases.
- The joint donor statements and EU calls emphasize the urgent need for coordinated funding and principled aid delivery, while cautioning against politicization and stressing humanitarian independence.
