A European Commissioner on Monday said EU humanitarian aid to Palestinians will continue, after another commissioner said another type of aid was being reviewed and suspended as a result of Hamas' attack on Israel. Crisis Management Commissioner Janez Lenarcic said he "most strongly" condemned the attack but "it is imperative to protect civilians."

"EU humanitarian aid to #Palestinians in need will continue as long as needed," he said on social media. His announcement came after Oliver Varhelyi, the European Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement, said the Commission was putting its entire portfolio of development aid for Palestinians under review and suspending payments.
