EU Solidarity Fund: 2024 flood assistance for Germany and Italy

This decision mobilises the European Union Solidarity Fund to provide financial assistance to Germany and Italy following severe floods that occurred in 2024.

The fund will assist Germany, which suffered extensive damage and fatalities from floods in early June, and Italy, which experienced violent storms and river overflows in late June.

This mobilisation represents a tangible expression of EU solidarity with citizens and regions affected by natural disasters, aiming to help with recovery efforts.

The resolution also highlights the increasing frequency of natural disasters in Europe and calls for greater investment in climate adaptation and mitigation measures.
