The European Commission announced on the 12 August 2014 that it was increasing its humanitarian aid to Iraq by an additional €5m in response to the growing needs, bringing the overall funding for Iraq up to €17m in 2014. The decision was announced in the expectation of the UN decision on the same day to raise the crisis in Iraq to a Level 3 emergency, the highest ranking for a humanitarian crisis which is already in place for Syria, South-Sudan and Central African Republic. |
