Romanian President Nicusor Dan pledged Thursday to evacuate 1,000 children from Gaza for medical treatment, expand scholarships, and provide institutional expertise for rebuilding police, justice, and emergency systems. Speaking at the inaugural Board of Peace meeting in Washington, he emphasized Romania's strong relations with both Jewish and Palestinian communities.

Romanian President Nicusor Dan announced a comprehensive humanitarian and reconstruction package for Gaza Thursday at the inaugural Board of Peace meeting chaired by President Donald Trump in Washington. Dan opened by thanking Trump for his leadership and "comprehensive and stable" peace plan, expressing Romania's commitment to peace, stability, and prosperity in Gaza.

Medical Evacuations and Humanitarian Support

Dan pledged to evacuate up to 1,000 sick and injured children from Gaza for treatment in Romanian hospitals, building on previous evacuation operations, with potential support extended to as many as 4,000 family members. He also announced Romania would expand scholarship programs for Palestinian students already underway and assist in rebuilding and refurbishing schools throughout Gaza, addressing critical educational infrastructure needs.

Institutional Reconstruction Expertise

Drawing on Romania's experience rebuilding core state institutions in other post-conflict regions, Dan offered experts and trainers to assist in developing Gaza's police force, justice system, and public administration. He highlighted Romania's strong expertise in emergency response systems, including ambulance and fire services, and committed to providing necessary infrastructure and equipment. Dan emphasized Romania's "traditionally good relations with the Jewish people and with the Palestinian people" as an asset in advancing peace efforts, concluding that Romania can be counted on for Gaza's reconstruction and stabilization.
