Written question – Humanitarian aid channelled through UNRWA 2 – E-001471/2025

Question for written answer  E-001471/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Moritz Körner (Renew)

In my question E-002880/2024[1] I asked the Commission whether it could state what percentage of the humanitarian aid sent to Gaza from around the world since October 2023 had been channelled through the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), and if not, why not?

The Commission replied that the EU’s humanitarian funding to UNRWA amounted to EUR 48.5 million, or some 20 % of the EUR 237 million total humanitarian budget allocated by the EU in 2024 to the occupied Palestinian territory. This was not the question.

• 1.Does the Commission know what percentage of the humanitarian aid sent to Gaza from around the world since October 2023 has been channelled through UNRWA, and if not, why not?
• 2.How much of the aid from the EU budget allocated to the Palestinian people in Gaza is channelled through UNRWA?
• 3.How much of the aid from the EU budget allocated to the Palestinian people outside of Gaza is channelled through UNRWA?
