Due to increased demand for flights from #Lebanon , we have activated the #EUCivilProtectionMechanism to coordinate safe departure of EU citizens from Beirut. I thank 🇳🇱, 🇸🇰 and 🇮🇹 for offering chartered flights that have so far transported 665 people to Europe.

We support the UN Secretary General @AntonioGuterres in his tireless efforts to achieve peace in all the conflicts and particularly in the Middle East. We deplore the unjustified attacks against him as well as the unacceptable number of casualties among UN humanitarian workers.

With this emergency EU funding we aim to promptly support those affected by conflict in #Lebanon to help enable immediate relief. We continue to call for a ceasefire across the border with Lebanon and in Gaza, as well as for the release of all hostages.

The EU is stepping up its humanitarian aid to Lebanon, to over €100 million this year. A new €30 million package will ensure civilians get much needed assistance. Once again, we call for a ceasefire across the border with Lebanon and in Gaza, and the release of all hostages.

Shocked to hear about yet another killing of a humanitarian worker - the 9th in Ethiopia this year. This is unacceptable. #IHL must be upheld. Civilians and aid workers are #NotATarget ! My deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues from our partner @PlanGlobal .

Next to a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, it is now  #Lebanon  where the humanitarian situation is deteriorating rapidly. My message at  #FAC  was clear - it is paramount all parties concerned exert maximum restraint and abide by  #IHL  to protect civilians & humanitarian workers.

How prepared are Europeans for the growing threats from natural and human-induced disasters? While 85% of Europeans trust emergency services and authorities, our latest #Eurobarometer reveals a need for more information to better prepare for emergencies ↓
