EU reinforces humanitarian response with €143 million for Sub-Saharan Africa
The European Commission is providing €143 million in humanitarian aid as EU and African Union leaders meet in Angola, responding to continued pressure on relief operations across several crisis zones.
The allocation includes €2.5 million for aid in the Central African Republic, €8 million in Nigeria, €30 million in Ethiopia, €30 million in Somalia, €35 million in South Sudan, and €38 million in the Central Sahel countries. The emergency funding will support food assistance, water and sanitation, access to healthcare, and help the most vulnerable communities meet their basic needs.
Equality, Preparedness and Crisis Management Commissioner Hadja Lahbib (pictured) stated: “The EU is stepping up at a moment when global attention is shifting and humanitarian needs remain high. This funding shows that we stay engaged in the places where pressure is rising and support is essential. We will keep holding the line alongside the partners who are working under the heaviest strain.”
Several regions in Africa continue to face severe humanitarian pressure driven by conflict, displacement and declining access to basic services. These humanitarian crises have led millions of people to flee their homes to find safety. The EU remains a global leading donor in Africa, maintaining a steady humanitarian funding to the crises unfolding. The humanitarian assistance funded by the EU is delivered in partnership with UN agencies, international organisations and NGOs.
