Portugal will contribute ten million euros to the United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees, thereby contributing to boosting humanitarian assistance in Gaza and the West Bank. <. In the Council of Minister’s statement on Thursday, the Government indicated that “this deed reports the urgency to ensure that the international community is United and that those who most offer humanitarian aid have the resources to enable the response that is needed to face the catastrophe in Gaza and its consequences to the civilian population”. This position is in “agreement with the United Nations Security Council Resolution”, which expresses strong support to the UN Secretary-General’s appeals for a humanitarian cease-fire and immediate and safe access for the humanitarian aid offered to the civilian population in Gaza”.
