I welcome the humanitarian funding commitment announced by the United States. This engagement sends an important signal of solidarity with vulnerable populations across the world.
The EU stands ready to work closely with the US in providing effective response to humanitarian crises worldwide.
Now more than ever, increasing support for life-saving assistance is vital for humanitarian organisations so they can deliver urgently needed aid to those affected by conflict, displacement, food insecurity, and natural hazards.
The way forward is clear: ensure continued international responsibility-sharing and defend the importance of principled humanitarian action based on humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence.
Strong coordination among donors and humanitarian actors remains critical to maximise impact and ensure aid reaches those most in need, no matter who they are, where they are and what they believe in.
In an increasingly fragile global environment, sustained humanitarian financing by donors and multilateral cooperation remain paramount.
The EU will continue working together with its partners to uphold international humanitarian law, protect civilians, and support humanitarian access in crisis contexts around the world.
