"Today we are also adopting a package of 120 million euros for Gaza to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis there," EU spokeswoman Eva Hrncirova told reporters.

"We know that the situation there is catastrophic, we know that Palestinians need urgent nutrition, medical supplies, shelters, and other protection, we hope we will be able to deliver this package in cooperation with our partners, we want to address the most pressing emergencies and help the Palestinians" she added.

Mediators Egypt, Qatar, and the US announced on Wednesday that Israel and Hamas had agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza starting on Sunday, along with a captive and prisoner exchange after more than 15 months of war.
