Itβs been three weeks since the EU announced a deal with Israel to deliver βaid at scaleβ to Gaza.
Since then, none of the commitments have been implemented.
Widespread famine is unfolding. Aid must be let in immediately. The EU must act NOW !

The IPC warns that the worst-case scenario of famine is currently unfolding in the Gaza Strip.
This is no time for smokescreen solutions or empty words. To prevent mass starvation, aid must be allowed in immediately and at scale.

As mass starvation spreads across Gaza, our colleagues and those we serve are wasting away
As the Israeli governmentβs siege starves the people of Gaza, aid workers are now joining the same food lines, risking being shot just to feed their families.
The Israeli governmentβs siege is starving the people of Gaza.
Over 100 NGOs call on governments to act NOW.
It's time for an immediate, permanent ceasefire; all restrictions lifted; land crossings opened; full access and a principled, UN-led humanitarian response. #CeasefireNow #EndTheSiege

JOINT STATEMENT: The EU's recent 'safe country' proposals appear to be part of a broader strategy to externalise the EUβs migration management.
With 50+ NGOs, we're calling on the EU and member states to reject any attempts to weaken protection for asylum seekers.

@jenniferrankin.bsky.social highlights the massive gaps left by aid cuts. @drcngo.bsky.social's Charlotte Slente was quoted, "said she foresaw βsome difficult yearsβ ahead as increasing humanitarian needs meet shrinking budgets." In practice, this means that people in need are left without support.
