EU to provide €161 million in humanitarian aid for Afghanistan in 2025
As the crisis in Afghanistan remains amongst the most severe in the world, the European Commission will provide €161 million in humanitarian aid to help the most vulnerable Afghans in the country and in the broader region.
This funding will support humanitarian organisations working inside Afghanistan with over €141 million, while also responding to the needs of Afghan citizens and refugees in Pakistan and Iran.
As part of the EU support, a new flight of the EU Humanitarian Air Bridge to Afghanistan is scheduled to arrive on 17 June, bringing nearly 100 tonnes of essential humanitarian supplies. Since the launch of this air bridge in 2021, a total of 40 flights have been arranged, carrying around 2,150 tonnes of relief items.
The new EU funding includes food assistance, healthcare services and treatment for malnutrition, and improved access to clean water and sanitation in remote areas. It also involves the protection of vulnerable groups, including offering legal assistance and safeguarding the rights of at-risk individuals. Education in emergencies is prioritised, with a particular focus on ensuring access for girls, as well as disaster preparedness measures.
EU humanitarian aid is solely channelled through humanitarian partners working on the ground.
A press release is available online.
