“The contribution is made available through the EU's Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection department, ECHO,” according to an EU press release issued Friday.
Ambassador David Lipman, Head of the Delegation of the European Union to Thailand, said: “With this funding, the European Union will support the ongoing emergency response here in Thailand. We are now working hard with relief agencies active on the ground, including non- governmental organizations, UN bodies, and the Red Cross, to turn this EU funding into tangible relief work for those affected.”
Lipman will visit the Flood Relief Operations Centre to present the EU contribution on Monday.
