The European Union will send a new humanitarian aid package of EUR 148 million to Ukraine to alleviate the effects of the war on the civilian population. This new funding will continue to support vital humanitarian aid in both Ukraine and Moldova, and will bring the total humanitarian aid allocated by the European Commission to over €1.1 billion.
Of the new package, €140 million is allocated for humanitarian projects in Ukraine. The funding will be directed towards emergency assistance, including food, shelter, clean water, healthcare, and winter protection. Key priorities are supporting vulnerable populations in the heavily war impacted regions of eastern and southern Ukraine.
€8 million is also allocated for humanitarian projects in Moldova. Support will focus on aiding Ukrainian refugees and Moldovan host communities, prioritising cash assistance, access to critical services like healthcare and education, and psychosocial support.
