EU increases humanitarian aid funding to 1.7 billion euros by 2023
As humanitarian needs continue to increase worldwide, the EU remains committed to supporting those in need by adopting its initial annual humanitarian budget of €1.7 billion by 2023.
237 million in humanitarian aid will help the most vulnerable populations in Asia and Latin America. In Latin America and the Caribbean, the EU will continue to support the impact of the crisis in Venezuela, the humanitarian consequences of the armed conflicts in Colombia, as well as the widespread violence in Haiti, and Central America and Mexico.
In 2021, the European Commission has published a Communication proposing to reinforce the European Union's overall humanitarian impact in order to address the substantially increased humanitarian needs exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
