Ireland to commit funding for Gaza reconstruction

Irish Foreign Minister Simon Harris is expected to tell the Cabinet that preparations are underway for a major Irish aid package to support Gaza, following Ireland’s decision to join the Emergency Coalition for the Financial Sustainability of the Palestinian Authority.

He will also announce that a consignment of 1,500 tents bound for Gaza includes 750 tents from Ireland’s humanitarian stocks, RTE further added.

The government has already announced an additional €6 million ($7 million) in humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza, bringing Ireland’s total contribution since 2023 to over €100 million ($115 million).
