How Estonia Routed Humanitarian Aid to Gaza

An aid announcement identifies three UN agencies and a separate shipment to Israel.

Estonia’s foreign ministry announced on November 3, 2023, that it would support UNRWA, the World Food Programme and UNICEF in providing assistance in Gaza. The announcement also described Estonian defence ministry support for Israel in the form of medical equipment. The €240,000 total covered both parts of the regional response.

In a June 2025 account of talks with a Palestinian minister, Estonia said it had continued to provide aid through international organisations. The announcements document the government’s choice of partners. Agency accounts would provide a better basis for tracing expenditure and deliveries in Gaza.
