STORYLINE
Of the 2.5 million Palestinians in need of humanitarian aid, 1.57 million live under closure in the Gaza Strip, where living conditions have rapidly deteriorated over the past year. In addition to creating safe education spaces and opportunities for vulnerable children, the EU is stepping up its cash assistance to the most vulnerable.
