  • On 17 January and 6 February 2025, aircraft of the Hellenic Air Force arrived in Jordan carrying medical supplies, clothing, cleaning supplies and personal hygiene products. The aid was intended for the Gaza Strip and was to be delivered through the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO).

  • In November 2025, two shipments of humanitarian aid, comprising pharmaceutical products and medical supplies, were transported by sea and land to the Embassy of Greece in Damascus. The supplies had been collected by the Ministry of Health in cooperation with the Panhellenic Union of Pharmaceutical Industries (PEF) and the Human Plus organisation. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs covered the transportation costs, and the supplies were delivered to the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch to support the hospitals it assists.

Contributions to International Organisations, Programmes and Agencies

In 2025, Greece made ad hoc financial contributions on 25 separate occasions to international organisations and their programmes, with a particular focus on countries facing humanitarian crises and on international development cooperation programmes.
