2008–09 Gaza Strip aid

Turkey will donate $10 million to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), the country's UN envoy said on June 25.

Turkish Red Crescent, locally known as Kızılay, provided 8.5 tons of medical aid to the Gaza Strip on Dec. 2.

Emergency medicine and medical equipment has been delivered to Palestinians at hospitals in the Gaza Strip, officials from the Turkish Red Crescent said on May 15.

The Bulgarian government approved the provision of humanitarian aid for Afghanistan, Yemen and Syria. The aid totalled to EUR 300,000, provided from the approved funds of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget for official development support and humanitarian aid, the government information service announced, quoted by Focus News Agency.

The European Union has announced that it will allocate EUR 18 M in humanitarian aid for the population that suffered from the war in the eastern regions of Ukraine.

At least half of the funds will be used to help residents in the territories outside the control of the Ukrainian government.

In the context of the efforts to help addressing the plight of the refugees in the wider Middle East region, the European Union (EU) announced that it will support Palestine refugees with fresh funding totalling 30 million euros.

Attacks by opposition parties against the government over its perceived failure to keep its promises of assistance to the Gaza Strip appear to have prompted a top Turkish agency to list in detail the country's assistance to Gaza, which has long been strangled by blockades, war and poor governance.

Six months after donors pledged billions of dollars (euros) for devastated Gaza, most of the money remains blocked, and reconstruction efforts are painfully slow, a coalition of aid groups said April 13.

The European Union and other donors pledged more than $2 billion on Tuesday to help alleviate war-torn Syria's humanitarian crisis, which Kuwait's emir called the worst in "modern history".
