The European Union will provide approximately 63 million euros in humanitarian aid to Somalia, prioritizing life-saving integrated health and nutritional services such as treating severe acute malnutrition, emergency cash assistance, water supply, sanitation, protection, and emergency education. These funds will be delivered through trusted EU humanitarian partners without specified timelines or partner details. This latest package brings the total humanitarian aid from 2017 to date to 750 million euros. The announcement comes as the UN World Food Programme has warned that a lack of new funding risks halting assistance, noting that reduced funding has forced them to significantly cut beneficiaries. Without an injection of $95 million between March and June, WFP may suspend humanitarian aid in April. Somalia faces severe food insecurity due to prolonged drought, water shortages, instability, conflict, and historically low levels of humanitarian support.

PULSE is an initiative for cross-border collaborative journalism in Europe co-funded by the European Commission under Grant Agreement n. PO 4500158093.

PULSE is an initiative coordinated by OBCT that has been promoting intensive journalistic cross-border collaborations in Europe since 2024. Its main aim is to help strengthen the European public sphere by reporting on and telling stories from new and diverse perspectives.

At the heart of PULSE are 10 leading national news outlets (Delfi – Lithuania, Deník Referendum – Czechia, Der Standard – Austria, EfSyn – Greece, El Confidencial – Spain, Gazeta Wyborcza – Poland, HotNews – Romania, HVG – Hungary, Il Sole 24 Ore – Italy, Mediapool – Bulgaria) and three transnational organisations, including OBCT , n-ost and Voxeurop .

Additional outlets and journalists are involved as associate partners, including EUobserver , Føljeton (Denmark), H-Alter (Croatia), Levila (Estonia), Rubryka (Ukraine), and The Journal Investigates (Ireland).

PULSE is driven by a sort of virtual transnational newsroom made up of journalists from all the publications involved. It collaboratively produces new journalistic content on European issues on a daily basis, coming in many different languages. The editorial output amounts to over a thousand publications per year, mostly in article form.

PULSE also runs 4 thematic networks open to any European journalist interested in crucial issues such as EU enlargement, relations between the EU and other global powers, the EU’s green transition, or media and the information society. These networks function as online communities and periodically publish calls for pitches.
