BERLIN, October 10, 2025 (WAFA) – German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced on Friday that Germany will provide €29 million (approximately $34 million) in immediate humanitarian assistance for Gaza.
In a statement posted on X, Merz said: “Germany will continue to provide support: we are making available €29M for humanitarian assistance. Together with Egypt, we will co-host a reconstruction conference for Gaza, and we’re prepared to assume responsibility in the Council of Peace proposed by President Trump.”
The pledge follows the ceasefire agreement announced Thursday as part of the first phase of the U.S.-brokered plan, which includes humanitarian aid, reconstruction, and international oversight through a proposed Council of Peace.
