Providing Gazan farmers solar alternatives to operate irrigation wells and pumping systems
Project Summary
The project is in response to the Gaza crisis urgent appeal to address the immediate needs of Gazan farmers who have been facing a severe shortage in electricity needed to operate irrigation wells and pumping systems and hence risking significant losses in the current production cycle.
The project will provide alternative energy sources by supplying and installing 6 solar panels in 3 targeted areas in the Gaza Strip namely, Beit Lahia, Wadi aa Salqa and Al Shukah to alleviate from the energy crisis. However, in order to ensure maximum benefit and sustainability of the project, RWDS will design local community mechanisms and procedures to lead, implement and follow up the project. This will be done through establishing a steering committee that will include 50% women from RWDS supported cooperatives to ensure gender equality and empowerment. The various project interventions will be implemented throughout a period of six months and under three components
Component 1. Establishment of a Steering Committee for the project
This component will play a main role in the transparency, accountability and sustainability of the project. A steering committee consisting of various community players will be established to include representatives of the three local municipalities in the targeted areas, the project coordinator and women representatives form RWDS supported cooperatives in the targeted areas which will create the gender balance in this project. This project will allow women to take lead roles in planning, implementing and following up projects alongside men. They will play a focal point in coordinating the interventions between the farmer beneficiaries and RWDS. This committee will also prepare all project application formats, tender documents, MOUs, etc, select and award both the beneficiaries and the service provider for the solar system.
Component 2: Presenting the project to the public in the three targeted areas and selecting the beneficiary farmers
Presenting the project to the public and allowing all the opportunity to apply, is one of the main objectives of RWDS aligned with its core principle of being fair, transparent, accountable and inclusive to all. For that it is very crucial that once this project is approved, RWDS will organize three workshops, one at each of the targeted areas, carried out at the premises of the women cooperatives to announce and present the project objectives and interventions to the public.
During those workshops interested farmers will fill out the application forms to benefit from this project which will be later on assessed by the steering committee that will at the end select and award the beneficiaries that meet best the selection criteria for this project.
Component 3 Select the service provider and install the 6 solar panels in the 3 targeted areas and train the beneficiaries on how to manage and maintain the solar panels
This will be the last and the most crucial part of the project where the solar panels will be supplied and installed in the selected farmers land. 6 solar panels will be installed, 2 in each of the 3 targeted areas. Following this process, the selected service provider will also provide a technical training to the beneficiaries on how to use and maintain the solar panels.

Providing essential lifesaving medical and non-medical supplies for the health sector in Gaza in order to reduce avoidable mortality and morbidity
The health system in Gaza has become increasingly undermined by the chronic shortages of essential drugs and disposables. As of March 2017, the percentage of drugs depleting have increased from 28%, 33% in April, 34% in May and in June 36% were reported at zero stock levels (zero stock means that availability is less than four weeks). This trend coincides with the number of drugs that are completed depleted, with 24% in March, 25% in April, 29% in May and 31% in June. Furthermore, of the 853 medical disposables on the essential list, 32 % were out of stock in June. According to the Ministry of Health (MOH) the services most severely affected by drug shortages are: emergency room services, surgical operational theatre, intensive care units (ICU), orthopaedic and neonatal wards, and patients with chronic disease illnesses such as kidney failure. During a visit to Shifa Hospital, WHO was informed that surgeons working for the MoH in the public hospitals are left with no choice but to reuse single-use disposable items and expired items. In some case, doctors provide alternative drugs which may be less effective, or have increased side effects and in some cases, they simply improvise. The MOH is already heavily in debt to the private sector including medical supplies and the political internal division remains in place there seems to be little prospect of this situation improving anytime soon, placing patient lives at risk. It is therefore, urgent to avail drugs and disposables to enable WHO to save lives.
In addition, the hospitals face 20 hours without mains electricity. Currently, there are enough fuel donations to sustain the critical health services until October. However the more heavily generators are used, the more quickly they will degrade and need to be repaired or replaced. Many are already at risk of recurrent malfunctioning due to overuse. This has increased the maintenance required, which is difficult to provide, as spare parts are on the dual-use list and restricted from entry to Gaza. Currently, 14 public hospitals, 18 NGO hospitals and many primary healthcare facilities are using generators to sustain heir services, since the start of the sudden increase in power cuts, which began on the 16th April when the Gaza Power Plant closed. According to the MOH, "the capacity to run these services is decreasing, posing a severe risk to the health sector". WHO is best placed to facilitate the supply of spare parts for generators and other life-saving medical equipment.
The objective of this project is to provide essential lifesaving medical and non-medical supplies (generator equipment) needed to maintain the functioning of critical health services for the Gaza population and reduce avoidable mortality and morbidity. By submitting this request for a grant, WHO is aiming at responding to the immediate effect of the supply shortages in Gaza with key results from the project: 1) the selected and procured essential life-saving drugs will have been made available at the central drugs store in Gaza and the number of drugs and disposables at zero stock would be reduced 2) generators will have an increased life span, mitigating the risk posed by the over-use of fuel/generators for electricity 3) regular monitoring reports on the current situation and its impact on health will be issued three times over six months through a reliable and an independent information monitoring system.

Urgent Support to Vulnerable Farmers Severely Affected by Power and Water Irrigation Crises
The project aims to urgently respond to the current emerging needs among acutely vulnerable farmers resulting from current sever power shortage affecting farmers’ capacity to access irrigation water and hence exposed to significant losses in their current agricultural production cycle. Through this project, Mercy Corps will target 131 affected farmers of the current crises in both Al Shouka and Al Fokhari areas through cash assistance that aim to contribute to cover the additional incurred irrigation cost and contribute to rehabilitating or constructing their water catchment as an additional water source to irrigate their crops and avoid losing the harvest from the next planting season.
The proposed project’s cash assistance approach will provide a timely response to famers, permitting a more flexible and more cost-effective response to the evolving emergency. The project addresses their urgent needs to help them recover from this shock and sustain their production cycle. Additionally, this approach offers beneficiaries greater dignity and choice in determining how to meet their urgent needs, while reducing their vulnerability, and contributing to their livelihood recovery. The selection of the final targeted farmers will be based on an open and transparent selection process where Mercy Corps will prioritize the most affected and vulnerable farmers in need of urgent support.
Mercy Corps will implement the project in partnership with Al Fukhari Association for Rural Development, a local partner community based organization in the targeted areas. Additionally, Mercy Corps will, promote local ownership and participation through mobilizing existing community actors to function more effectively and deeply engage in the project implementation. Throughout the project implementation, Mercy Corps, with support from our local partner, will maximize available resources to enhance the project’s impact and ensuring reaching the most in need, while ensuring continuous communication and information sharing with other relevant actors.

Response to the urgent WASH humanitarian needs in the Gaza Strip
The aim of this project is to provide life-saving emergency WASH preparedness and response to the entire population of the Gaza Strip. This will be achieved through the provision of critical spare parts and specialized services for repairs and refurbishment of water and wastewater facilities to substantially reduce the risks of public health deterioration and environmental pollution.
The recent internal political situation regarding the electricity supply, have further exacerbated the WASH situation to unprecedented levels, as a maximum of 2 to 4 hours a day of power supply is provided to Gaza strip. This power crisis, going along with the services deterioration, has put extra burdens on Gaza people, and led the households to prioritise the income for other essential needs such as domestic water, food and shelter, which will reduce the access to drinking water and basic hygiene items. In some areas (Jabalia West, Al-Shata Camp, Al-Nusairat, Alamal Khanyounis amp East Kahnyounis, East Rafah), the quantity of water provided is far below WHO recommendation, with less than 50L/c/d. With the coming summer season, the situation will continue to deteriorate
Moreover, the suspension of the World Bank funding to the CMWU is affecting their water disinfection program covering the entire Gaza Strip, in addition to the WASH facilities repair needs further deteriorated by the current electricity crisis, and the repeated damages incurred from the past escalations of violence. This leads to health and environmental risks in many areas in the Gaza Strip as the chlorine stocks have been fully utilized and service contracts for the spare parts of WASH facilities have been suspended. According to a joint assessment by the CMWU and UNICEF, 280 water wells, 48 desalination units, 34 pumping facilities and reservoirs have been identified as WASH facilities requiring urgent supplies, where over one million people are estimated to be at risk due to the lack of operation and maintenance of critical water and wastewater facilities.
The above mentioned situation places over one million of the population of the Gaza strip, particularly children, at serious public health risk and subjects them to environmental contamination, with increased prevalence of diarrhea, hepatitis A, meningitis, etc.
This project will thus, procure the required spare parts and carry out the urgent repairs of 158 electric power supply generators, 40 water production wells, 10 pumping facilities,20 wastewater lifting stations, 3 wastewater treatment plants, as well as 10 service heavy machineries including water tankers, vacuum trucks and jetting equipment. This project is aligned with the current Gaza WASH Cluster Response Framework and Plan for the response to Summer 2017, aiming at support WASH infrastructure functions (activity #2)
The specific objectives of this project are the following:
1. To ensure that the operation and maintenance of the most critical water and sanitation facilities are undertaken (Strategic Objective 1, 2)
2. To support the national water service provider to prevent hazards effects and respond to risks (Strategic Objective 2)
3. To ensure preparedness and response activities through a comprehensive approach (Strategic Objective 1, 3)

Restoring access to multi-disciplinary rehabilitation services for persons with disabilities in marginalized areas of the West Bank.
The proposed project will be implemented by the Bethlehem Arab Society for Rehabilitation (BASR), with Handicap International technical support.
This project responds to the critical lack of access to essential services for persons with disabilities (PwDs) in targeted areas of the West Bank. Despite the critical needs to the health sector especially for fuel and power for the hospitals in Gaza, it was highly difficult to ensure both areas or to concretely support the crisis in Gaza with limited funds, while it is concretely possible to support the critical needs of PwDs in Area C, where the cluster has a less strain on the health sector as Gaza, given the current power crisis.
The project will improve PwDs’ access to essential services in targeted areas of Area C and Bedouin communities in the West Bank. Handicap International will work with BASR in targeted areas to provide outreach and home-based multi-disciplinary rehabilitation services for PwDs, and particularly persons with physical impairments. Two mobile rehabilitation teams will be created, comprised of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, social workers, who will provide various direct services to PwDs and their family members. In addition to home-based rehabilitation sessions, mobile teams will provide direct medical health services and distribute essential medical p supplies, provide mobility and assistive devices and follow-up on their use.
This package of basic services follows the requirement of the UNCRPD to ensure that people with disabilities are provided with appropriate health services, including general health care, habilitation and rehabilitation services, and are not discriminated against in the provision of health care (Articles 25 and 26). Therefore the project will support the integration of and rehabilitation services into overall primary health care.

Enhancing protection through provision of specialized mental health services and psycho social support to the most affected children, adults and parents living in vulnerable areas at Gaza Strip.
The project will support the delivery of quality specialized mental health services to the most venerable women and men, girls and boys in the most affected locations identified by the Child Protection and Mental Health and Psychosocial Working Groups in Gaza Strip through the following:
A1) Provision of specialized mental health services for children (boys and girls) and adults/parents (women and men) who have displayed symptoms of severe psychosocial distress. By using the existing referral system, those cases will be detected and referred by the case managers and psychosocial support staff working in 28 family centers and Child Protection and MHPSS networks across the Gaza Strip. Additionally other support detected through structured activities implemented through other venues such as GCMHP’s community centers and their teams can be provided with required support. The clinical services will be provided by specialized multi disciplinary team at GCMHP three community centers located in Gaza city, Deir El Balah and Khanyounis encompassing: child amp adolescent psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric nurse, and social workers as well as community teams. Therapy plans include psychotherapy, play therapy, medication, family counseling and home visits
A 2) The project also will contribute to strengthening the provision of counseling through sustaining the provision of free telephone counseling service for children (girls and boys) and adults/parents (women and men) who couldn’t reach mental health centres due to economic or social barriers. The free telephone counseling service is an efficient service that enables people from the marginalized and vulnerable communities to reach reliable counseling services for any psychological, social or emotional problems by specialized professionals. It is provided free of charge i.e., clients do not pay for this service. Through this service, the telephone counselors also will detect and refer children and women with severe symptoms into GCMHP community centres to receive specialized mental health services including medications if necessary. The telephone counselors (1 man and 1 women) provide psycho education and individual counseling. It is worth to mention that this service helps overcome stigma attached to mental health problems. Callers are given a chance to express themselves freely and without hesitation due to the fact that they are anonymous. Moreover, callers can present problems that they are ashamed to disclose in person due to the nature of the problems that they might suffer from. Further, callers especially women and girls from remote and border areas are given chance to call as they might not be able to reach due to various reasons. In other words, the telephone counseling services are key in serving target groups that have restrictions to reach the community centers.
A 3) Strengthen coordination mechanisms: GCMHP will update and share its 5 W matrix with CPWG and PHSS including gender disaggregated information. Also it will be participated in the coordination mechanism building on the SOPs for emergency.

Water Voucher Program in Shokat Al Sofi Area
This action is in line with the assigned results of the WASH Cluster 2016 HRP “Ensure basic WASH services for conflict-affected or vulnerable populations” and " Ensure WASH capacity to respond to future shocks"
Given the limitations on WASH infrastructural development imposed by the blockade and the occupation, around 1.3 million people in the Gaza Strip are in need for humanitarian WASH assistance. The project seeks to ensure equitable access to safe and sufficient domestic and drinking water to the under-served, and acutely vulnerable families in Shokat Al Sofi Area. In addition, the proposed intervention will support to promote the hygiene of the vulnerable targeted families through hygiene material support and awareness raising. 1500 families (11,000 individuals) will be supported through the project activities. The project is well coordinated, with the local Municipality, and the WASH cluster. It addresses a priority for women in the targeted locality supporting them to enjoy well-being by living with dignity.
Al Shoka Municipality will be provided with training and capacity building package to ensure responsive and accountable provision of the WASH services at the time of emergency. This will include assessment for the Municipality preparedness capacity, training and elaboration of contingency plan. The gaps in the Municipality preparedness capacities will be communicated with the WASH Cluster, the CMWU, the Municipal Development amp Lending Fund (MDLF), and the Ministry of Local Government.
Eventually, the project addresses the problem of mosquitoes combating and the related health hazards. This project responds to a humanitarian emergency situation in the Gaza Strip caused by the shortage of fund to cover the costs of the BTI Solution (biological pest control agent to combat mosquitoes and black flies) which is essential for mosquitoes combating. The absence of adequate mosquitoes combating services will expose 279,524 girls, 287,290 boys, 298,006 women, and 307,515 men to high health risks. The proposed project includes to provide the Municipalities of Rafah, Khan Younis, Bani Suhaila, Abasan, Qarara, Dair Al Balah, Almaghazi, Bureij, Nuseirat, Moghraqa, Jabalia, Beit Lahia, Um Al-Nasser, and Beit Hanoun with the required quantities of the BTI Solution to ensure adequate provision of mosquitoes combating services.

Emergency Supply of Water Trucking to area C of the West Bank
The aim of the project is to provide increased access to safe drinking water and to ensure affordable, sufficient and sustainable access to basic minimal water services for the most vulnerable and marginalized/remote communities in Area C of the West Bank.
Water accessibility will be increased through the subsidized distribution of safe, high quality drinking water to the most vulnerable households (HHs), schools and hospitals. The approach will ensure that targeted families have proper access to safe drinking water at a fair price, in line with the quantities and the prices agreed jointly within the WASH Cluster, the Palestinian Water Authority (PWA) and the Water Access Task Force.
The proposal enables a strong collaboration among local and regional stakeholders in line with and beyond the central management of the PWA. The action involves a predictable water access management approach, ensuring equity, and increasing accountability and responsibility among local, regional and national Palestinian stakeholders. The proposed intervention will provide immediate relief to the heightened needs resulting from limited water access currently prevailing in the West Bank. The proposed intervention will also decrease the risk of seasonal and long-term displacement of marginalized families - especially those living in rural and herder villages - where water access is scarce and drought is a persistent threat.
As Cluster Lead Agency, UNICEF will continue to play its pivotal role in coordinating the intervention with the national and local authorities, ensuring quality control, as well as strengthening the governance and policy aspects of the project with the PWA with the view of mainstreaming the water distribution approach of the project at the institutional level with the relevant authorities.

Supporting the agriculture livelihood of vulnerable farmers in Hebron, Bethlehem, Ramallah and Tulkarem, governorates
Palestinian farmers face many hardships including access to resources and hostilities from settlers and Israeli Occupation practices. Nearly 63% of farming land is in area C, and with the continued Israeli restrictions to land, water, and the increased settler attacks of farmers, their land and livelihood assets, puts them at great risk of loss of land and forced displacement. The continued expansion of illegal Israeli settlements results in a furthered worsened humanitarian situation for farmers and families in Area C. The humanitarian situation for farmers in the targeted areas has been declining for many years, weakening their resilience, and with the onset of a disaster, farmers and their families use negative coping strategies in order to maintain their livelihood and afford basic commodities such as food and health care.
Farmers in Area C are among the most vulnerable particularly, demolitions and forced evictions deprive people of their homes and disrupt livelihoods, leading to entrenched poverty and increased aid dependency. They are further confronted by settler violence with the Ministry of Agriculture’s Agriculture Damage Documentation Department indicating that between 2016 and 2017 there have been over 500 occupational agriculture attacks on vulnerable populations, including farmers and their livelihood assets. In 2017 alone 156 cases have been officially registered with many still pending verification and entry into the database of the Ministry. The value of the destructive assets has, so far, exceeded 4.16 million USD in 2016-2017. There have been 192 documented assaults on agriculture assets in the targeted locations of this proposed project alone.
Within the FSS, ESDC works to ensure timely and effective response to demolitions to prevent forced displacement. The MoA provided list to include those who have had demolitions or damage to productive assets omitting livestock, which narrowed the list to 192 in the Hebron, Bethlehem and Ramallah governorates of which there is a clear gap in response at the same time, there are additional farmers that are not part of the MoA list that have yet to be entered into the system and the numbers are expected to increase. Also, through meeting with the MoA Project Preparation Department, we were able to confirm that there is a need for rehabilitating farming land and creating/rehabilitating agriculture roads for vulnerable farmers to be better able to access their land and improve their livelihood.
Also, farmers in the targeted area are in constant threat when accessing their lands due to limited and damaged agriculture roads and are hence prone to settler attacks from the nearby settlements. Farmers expressed the need for support in protecting their livelihood including agriculture land and roads, increasing access to resources as a result of destruction/and/or lack of accessibility.
498 farmers (98 filling the identified gap and 400 improved resilience of vulnerable farmers), and their families will benefit from the project in order to sustain their lands and agriculture livelihood.
95 farmers will have about 270 dunnums of land/crop rehabilitation of demolished or damaged agriculture assets in addition to about 3 beekeepers. This emergency project will assist in filling the gap that has been identified for demolitions. The MoA identified this intervention as a top priority. The MoA database will be the base for conducting the verification however upon a detailed verification it is possible that will increase/decrease as per the verification at the start of the project. Any adjustment will be communicated with OCHA for approval.
10 km of agriculture roads will be opened or rehabilitated for about 400 farmers to improve access of to their lands and livelihood sources in order to build their resilience against occupational violence since agriculture roads will increase the number of farmers reaching their land and therefore the larger numbers will ward of

Reference to the HRP project number OPT-17/A/96914
The project is restoring and enhancing the productive capacity of vulnerable and affected farmers and households, to increase production capacity of the agricultural assets to small male and female farmers who are most fragile and vulnerable to humanitarian crises in Khan Yunis and Deir Al Balah in the Gaza Strip. The project reliable to HRP and totally linked to FSS, MoA strategies, and top priorities,
The project is to rehabilitate 200 dunum of destroyed land to produce (600-700) ton of vegetables to food insecure communities.
The project is considered a complementary package for ( 50 female and 50 male farmers)to rehabilitate 200 dunum, two dunums for each farmer. The rehabilitation land includes tilling of the land, fertilization, irrigation networks, cultivation of seedling which will be covered by Anti-virus net to protect them from the weather or the pests. The rehabilitating operations are done in parallel with rehabilitating two destroyed water wells in the same areas with discharge (40-45) cubic meter per hour enough to irrigate the rehabilitated land in addition to other surrounded houses for hygiene and irrigate houses backyard garden planted with vegetables and other house used food.
The project extension two lines of water carrier( 4 inch ), from the two rehabilitated wells to rehabilitated lands and the surrounded houses.
The project improves 100 female and male capacities through providing them the most necessary training in best practices in farming and nature disaster management that contributes positively in the project's suitability after withdrawal from the project.
The project offers temporary working days (100 days for technical and 300 working days) for unemployed persons to carry out the rehabilitation of the land, that well be reflected positively on their life standers.
The project takes into consideration the gender mainstreaming throughout the entire project management cycle based on equal equality, and dignity among beneficiaries. More than 50 female household farmers and the same number of household male farmer benefited directly from the project in addition to their families' members with the total number of 580 inhabitants based on "do no harm" concepts and procedures. Furthermore, similar number households benefiting from connecting their houses with water for houses uses and backyard gardens. Beneficiaries are selected from lists of War 2014 affected farmers in full coordination with the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) and the FSS to avoid any duplication. Two local neighborhood committees will be formed from the key persons, women organization representatives', official persons from the local authorities to cooperate with the project management to implement the project in peace manner and on "do no harm" basis. The project is six months duration, Most of its activities are carried out in parallel on cost effectiveness manner the land and wells rehabilitation, and water carriers' activities at the same time. The project gets 100 affected vulnerable farmers back to their normal life farming, producing vegetables, generating income after more than 34 months of the war August 2014. Contribute to secure food (600-700) ton of vegetables,
The project is sustained one that farmers return back to their normal life after a human-made disaster with full means of production recovery, better spirits and encourage them to restart production generating income enough to match their daily expenditure and replant again in next seasons. The project design taking into consideration the recent assumption that indicated the strong possibility to implement the project safely. In other hands the association assess the risk carefully and create alternative plans to minimize risk if happened

GBV Multi-sectoral Protection and Prevention Response in the Northern area of the Gaza Strip
The project aims at supporting Gender Based Violence (GBV) survivors living in the north area of Gaza Strip, that lack access to specialised services and are suffering increasing rates of GBV, partially derived from the last military offensive in 2014, the blockage, the heavy deterioration of the socio-economic situation, and the increased tensions and violence. The proposal will provide access to a coordinated, safe and confidential, GBV multi sectoral response in the “one stop centre” in Jabalia. The provision of case management and GBV multi sectoral response includes: Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services as a needed entry-point for GBV survivors, psychosocial (PSS) services and specialized legal assistance, both in the One Stop Center and through home visits. Furthermore, the response is complemented with prevention and community awareness activities and also group sessions. At the same time, GBV cases will be registered and documented for consistent and evidence based advocacy purposes boosting accountability and undertaking of responsibilities of the duty bearers, both the occupying power and the Palestinian authorities.
The project is putting strong efforts in providing access to multi sectoral services to GBV survivors, especially those with other vulnerability indicators, such as: female head of households, widows, and women with disabilities. Through the multisectoral services, these women will strengthen their ability to cope in a more positive way, not only with GBV, but also with protracted threats and shocks related to the heavily and permanent exposure to policies and practices related to the blockade and the occupation.
In order to improve the quality of the services provided, Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with survivors benefitting from them, community awareness and engagement activities will be conducted in order to identify gaps, opportunities for improvement and to better tailor the services to the beneficiaries’ needs. Furthermore, coordination with GBV humanitarian actors in the Gaza and also with the institutions and organizations working on the GBV response will ensure an efficient referral for GBV survivors.
Thus, the Project seeks to overcome violence, discrimination and advance gender equality, targeting women, men, girls and boys whose vulnerabilities are based on their gender roles through an effective GBV humanitarian response by rebuilding-up GBV comprehensive services in the "one-stop center" located in Jabalia that was already set up by Alianza and UHWC and had to be closed last year due to the lack of funds.

Life-saving continuum of newborn care in the Gaza Strip
Medical Aid for Palestinians designed this project to improve emergency preparedness and response and support the life saving continuum of newborn care in Gaza through the provision of life saving drugs items which are zero stock, provision of neonatal life support training to enable health personnel to save lives of at risk newborns and provision of infection control materials and training to reduce the morbidity and mortality related to neonatal sepsis. Every year, 3600 newborns are identified to be at risk and admitted to neonatal ICU units and need to be targeted by life saving services. Securing this fund will bridge a gap in funding that MAP is facing. MAP has applied to Muslim Aid in the UK to fund this project from 2018 an going on. Thus, if the project is not approved, 1,800 newborns at at risk of not getting assistance they need increasing mortality and morbidity status in Palestine.
The project outcomes:
* Life saving neonatal drugs, infection control supplies and disposables provided to the neonatal units at MoH to respond to the acute need of critically ill newborn babies
* Increased capacities of neonatal unit staff to efficiently resuscitate new born babies and manage emergency care at their units.
3,600 newborns will benefit from neonatal care services and 200 MoH staff members (114 female and 86 male) at the neonatal units will have their skills and competencies developed to support the care outcomes for the new born in Gaza particularly in Neonatal life support NLS, Neonatal Safe Transfer NST and infection control policies and procedures.

Emergency rehabilitation of agricultural assets in Southern Gaza
The proposed action is based on the HRP top priority vetted project OPT-17/A/98190. It will aim at compounding the effects of increased water availability and quality in remote areas with land rehabilitation in order to improve and restore the productive capacities of vulnerable farmers in Southern Gaza and protect their resilience.
By the end of the project, productive capacity of 1,695 farmers will be restored through water networks rehabilitation and land rehabilitation. Specifically, 8 km of water carrying lines will be rehabilitated/ installed and 170 dunums of land will be directly rehabilitated through the provision of ag ricultural and irrigation inputs. Overall, the productivity of 261 dunums of damaged land will be improved.
5 Community Based Agriculture Committees (CBAC) will be established to ensure the sustainability of the work after the project has been completed, as well as to ensure that protection standards are both respected during project implementation and addressed through the works. The committees will be trained by ACTED and ACAD staff in maintenance and protection, as well as ERW/UXO risks. The training of the committees for the maintenance of the water networks will ensure sustainability of the action by giving the ability to identify and refer any issues to the relevant authority/ service provider.
Based on recent assessments (February 2017), extensive consultation with stakeholders and following the recommendations of the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) and Food Security Sector (FSS) coordinator, the project will target the following areas in Southern Gaza: al Fukhari (Khan Younis), Shokat as Sufi , Muraj and Al Nasr (Rafah) and Wadi as Salqa (Deir el Balah). By targeting areas where upstanding needs were identified following previous interventions, the action will complement and strengthen the efforts deployed by ACTED and ACAD through previous projects by extending their reach and concentrating assistance on the most in need and underserved areas.
By restoring agricultural productive assets of the farmers and ensuring better access to water resources and the cultivability of their land, they will be able to resume their farming activities and enhance their livelihood and resilience. Beyond the direct impact on vulnerable farmers, increased agricultural production will increase food availability and affordability throughout the target areas.
Eventually, the project will be supported by the mainstreaming of an Integrated Protection Approach (IPA), with specific focus on women and vulnerable groups, and a strong Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) component. In particular, beneficiaries will be heavily involved in the action through community based empowered committees, and a comprehensive Complaint Response Mechanism will be deployed.

Accountability for victims of Israeli 2014 Operation Protective Edge and Accountability of victims of Israeli violations of IHL and IHRL in Access Restricted Areas
The main objective of this project is seeking for accountability by resuming the legal interventions, already instituted, on behalf of victims of Israeli attacks occurred in the context of the Israeli Operation Protective Edge that took place in the summer of 2014.
The second objective relates to Accountability for victims of violations occurred in the eastern ground and western maritime Access Restricted Areas of the Gaza Strip
Those objectives are directly linked to Humanitarian Response Plan Country Level Strategic Objective 1: The rights of Palestinians under occupation are protected in accordance with International Humanitarian Law, IHL, and International Human Rights Law, IHRL, and linked to strategic result statement 1 of the Protection Cluster: 1. Increased respect for International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights Law and Accountability for Violations
Background:
During and after the Operation, the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, PCHR, has documented hundreds of Israeli violations to the Israeli obligations underlined pursuant to the IHL and IHRL applicable at armed conflicts. Basically, the violations are pertinent to violations of basic principles under IHL, such as distinction, proportionality, and precautionary principles.
Regarding the second object stated above, PCHR seeks fund to continue documenting Israeli violations of IHL and IHRL in the Access Restricted Areas. The Access Restricted Areas, or the No Go Zone, includes the agricultural plots near the fence separating the Gaza Strip and Israel. The farmers at those areas are systematically attacked by the Israeli forces. In addition, the Access Restricted Areas includes the maritime area, as fishermen are allowed to access only 6 nautical miles off the Gaza shore, and even within the 6 nautical miles, the Israeli gunboats attack fishermen and confiscate their fishing boats.

The provision of rehabilitation for the open field land in Gaza strip
This project aims at restoring and improving the livelihoods of selected vulnerable farmers and workers ' households in the North Gaza and South area of Gaza Strip.
The proposed intervention shapes UAWC work by addressing critical issues that impede farmers to build their resilience and overcome negative coping mechanisms.
Thus, activities will be addressed to rehabilitate open land and to install water carries lines in order to support farmers in solving their problem in the ensuring of irrigation sources and cultivation of their agricultural lands. The proposal has been designed following on the analysis of current UAWC quantitative and qualitative assessments, which show that one of the main problem of vulnerable farmers is the high need for the rehabilitation of agricultural land and water carriers lines , in addition to that the lack of job opportunities for agricultural worker, where the unemployment rate reached to 42% in the first quarter of 2017.
The project is well framed under UAWC Strategy 2015-2017 and it is part of the main UAWC strategic objective " Enhancing the ability of small-scale farmers (women and men)to improve their living standards and strengthen their steadfastness", Now and in the Future". It contributes to the HRP main objectives. In concrete, the action is well articulated to main Food Security Sector (FSS) objectives, collected in the Allocation Strategy HRP 2017:
Key result 1: Ensure acutely-vulnerable Palestinians under occupation in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank have access to essential services.
Key result 2: Strengthen the ability of acutely-vulnerable Palestinian households to cope with protracted threats and shocks
Strong MampE and feedback mechanisms will be put in place to ensure timely and quality implementation, high level of results and relevant community participation, including men, women, boys and girls..

Providing essential lifesaving medical supplies and deploying foreign medical teams to Gaza in order to reduce avoidable mortality and morbidity
In spite of the reconciliation between the Palestinian Authorities, the health system in Gaza is becoming increasingly fragile as critical resources continue to deplete. At the end of October, the percentage of drugs at less than one month’s supply was at 45% the highest since the war in 2014. At the beginning of November, the Ministry of Health (MoH) released drugs from the MoH warehouse in Nablus, West Bank to Gaza. This helped to alleviate some suffering and the proportion of drugs available at less than one month’s supply decreased from 45% to 43% by November. Yet, the inability to benefit from proper medications puts patients at substantial risk of medical complications. The shortages force patients to cope by trying to procure medications from other health providers or from the local market, at great costs, using inappropriate medications, and by seeking treatment outside of Gaza. The services most affected by the drugs shortages are emergency and intensive care patients, and those needing essential surgery- these are some of most vulnerable groups in Gaza. With little prospect of the situation improving soon, it is critical that medical resources, such as drugs are delivered to meet the health needs of the population in Gaza.
Meanwhile, the electricity crisis continues to remain an imminent threat as hospitals face up to 20 hours without mains electricity. Currently, there is enough fuel donations to sustain the critical health services until February 2018, however the impact of unstable electricity from the grid and the continuous power supply fluctuations since June 2017 place a strain on key services, such as blood collection, storage and transportation. Blood is used to treat a number of medical conditions including blood disorders, it is also used in surgery, such as cardiac and emergency surgery and sometimes blood is used to treat blood loss after childbirth. WHO’s intervention will aim to support and expand the blood collection, storage and transportation to better meet the needs of the hospitals in Gaza.
Finally, whilst the need for medical referrals outside of Gaza has increased, the number of permit applications accepted by Israeli authorities to access health care outside Gaza has been on the decrease. Access of patients to referral destination is a serious problem with approximately 20,000 patients relying on the referral system in order to access lifesaving treatment. A number of patients die every year whilst waiting for their referral. WHO propose to decrease the need for referrals outside of Gaza by bringing foreign medical teams to Gaza to conduct these lifesaving surgeries.
In summary, there are three key components to this project, the first is the supply of essential medical resources (including but not limited to drugs, laboratory reagents, disposables), second, WHO will increase the blood supply to the critical units in the hospitals in Gaza by supporting the two largest blood bank units in Gaza, namely Shifa and the Central Blood Bank. Third, WHO will deploy foreign medical teams to Gaza to conduct lifesaving surgeries in order to reduce the need for referrals outside of Gaza by partnering with MAP-UK, a specialist medical agency.

Support livelihoods and improve food security of the farmers/breeders through mitigating the effects of the electricity shortage
Gaza strip still suffers from a chronic electricity crisis started in 2007 after the political split between Fateh and Hamas. The power cuts hours reaching 16 hours per day. The power crisis paralyzed the life in Gaza especially the agricultural sector, where it resulted loss of agricultural product due to the absence of electricity powered refrigerators and deficit of irrigation water as well as the high operational cost. Poultry farms have also affected where poultry production decreased due to the absence of lighting and ventilation system.
The project interventions will increase the farmers/breeders livelihoods as well as improve their food security. Through the project, PARC will extend its role in supporting vulnerable farmers/breeders and increasing their resilience toward the power crisis through 1. installing solar power system with 1.2 kW for 40 poultry farms. 2. installing solar power system with 2.1 kW for 20 greenhouses that has rainwater harvesting units.
The targeted area will be in Rafah (Skokat asufi- Al Bayuk), Khan Younis (Qa'al qurein, Alfukhari), Gaza (Alzaytoon, Alsheja'ya),North (Beit Lahia-Beit Hanoun), Midille area (Bureij, Wadi Alsalqa).
The main targeted groups are:
1. Small-medium scale broiler breeders: 40 breeders (5 female-headed households) who are keeping (1000-1500) chicken.
2. Small scale greenhouse farmers: 20 farmers (2 female-headed households) who have greenhouse area of 1000 to 2000 m2 and have a rainwater harvesting unit (RWH).

Emergency response to improve access to basic water services and protect vulnerable families in Dar Salah Alkurshan Bedouin communities- east of Bethlehem Governorate.
OPT-17/WS/98342
Its evident that its an important and pressing priority to connect Al Kurshan community with a main water pipeline for both human and animal use. This will decrease time, cost and daily water losses during water trucking to Al Kurshan. Dar Salah village council has sent officially a request addressing AAA for the need to implement this project confirming that there is already a filling point for Alkurshan from which they propose to extend the water pipeline. The needed length of the 2 inches pipeline is more than 3 kilometers, this project will be implementing only 3 km of this length to minimize potential security risks and loses. Dar Salah VC will be responsible for the maintenance of the line and will constantly ensure adequate water is available. The village council will capitalize on this water pipeline to connect surrounding shelters with a connection and water meters. By doing so, we are linking emergency humanitarian needs with longer term development. All the community will benefit from the water pipeline, in addition to another 200 families from Dar Salah who will benefit by enabling them to access water. This activity was coordinated between Dar Salah village council and PWA. Also the project implementation will be in line with the PWA Technical specification when comes to the designs and implementation. Required fittings and water meters will be installed in a filling point at the end of the line.

Improving housing conditions of vulnerable households in Gaza
Project Summary : The project aims to address identified needs of acutely-vulnerable households living in substandard housing units. Particularly, the project will provide comprehensive upgrades and repairs which increases access to an adequate standard of living and creates a safer environment. The project will target vulnerable families living in overcrowded, substandard units in Gaza City. A specific vulnerability criteria has been established in order to improve housing conditions. Improvements focus on providing increased thermal comfort, protection from the effects of extreme climate during the summer and winter, promoting safety, privacy, and hygiene – all of which consider different needs for residents’ ages and genders.
Through the proposed project intervention, Mercy Corps will rehabilitate substandard housing units to meet adequate living standards. As a result, the hazards of future stresses and shocks will be reduced for vulnerable households, especially related to protection and health. The intervention will comply with the “Shelter Minimum Standards for Repairs and Upgrades” adopted by the Shelter Cluster throughout the implementation of the rehabilitation services.
The project will focus on the most vulnerable households, with an emphasis on vulnerable female-headed households. Prioritization of beneficiaries are selected from a current beneficiaries’ pool, and are determined considering the Shelter Cluster prioritization vulnerability criteria.
Through this program, Mercy Corps will rehabilitate 40 substandard housing units in Gaza, hosting 228 vulnerable individuals. Verification of the most vulnerable households will be done through home visits where the nominated household’s vulnerability and food insecurity situation will be re-assessed. During these visits, gender considerations and needs of each household will also be addressed. Mercy Corps will work through local partner NGOs to strengthen its community engagement and community acceptance. Monitoring will be completed by Mercy Corps MEL team, and feedback and learning will be reflected through the duration of the project.

Legal Protection for Palestinian Detained Boys and Girls
Despite its obligations under international law, Israel continues to violate with impunity the relevant provisions of applicable IHL and IHR conventions (CRC, ICCPR and UNCAT) relating to the rights and protection of boys and girls in armed conflict. 2016 continued the trend seen in 2015 of deterioration of the security situation in the Palestinian Territories, including East Jerusalem leading to a sharp increase in human rights (HR) violations of Palestinian children, specifically in mental and physical violence against children during arrest and detention. Furthermore, incarceration and sentencing guidelines have tightened drastically, with jail sentences of ten years for participation in demonstrations.
This project responds directly to the overarching need to prevent and mitigate the impact of violations of children’s rights including the need for:
Monitoring and documentation, advocacy immediate and time sensitive interventions with Israeli authorities and relevant actors
Provision of legal aid and services to support access to justice
Child protection services including detection and case management and response to child arrests and detention

Protect people living in the Access Restricted Areas and surroundings from
protracted protection threats, enhance their resilience and livelihoods and advocate
for their rights to adequate standard of living
June 2017 marked the 50 years of Israeli occupation and ten years of blockade in the Gaza strip. The situation of Gazans continues to deteriorate day after day not only due to the Israeli occupation and the comprehensive blockade on Gaza Strip, but also to the Palestinian political division between the two main factions. This deterioration severely worsened at the beginning of 2017 when both Israelis and Palestinians duty bearers started punitive measures against the de-facto government. Palestinian authorities started applying pay-cuts on more than 50,000 civil servants in health and education sectors. Israeli authorities started reducing the electricity supply to the Gaza strip putting the de-facto authorities in dire situation and leading them to increase taxes on Gazans to compensate their financial deficit. The severe shortages in electricity supply – 2 to 3 hours of electricity every 24-30 hours today - impact all Gazans aspects of life: health, water and sanitation, agriculture, education, etc. The food security has been severely affected with more than 20,000 dunums cultivated with vegetables and fruit trees in Gaza Strip at risk of drought according to the Ministry of Agriculture. Small-scale farmers are facing tremendous challenges to irrigate their farmlands and loss of part or all of the production cycle is inevitable. They contracted debts to irrigate their farmlands when it was possible, while others are losing their crops due to severe economic situation.
In this protracted crisis context, innovative solutions such as the use of renewable energy could protect affected farmers from completely losing their production cycle and/or prepare them to cope with future shocks of same nature.
Therefore, PUI plans to support small-scale farmers at household level through the provision of solar energy to operate small agricultural wells and pumping water from water ponds. PUI also plans to assist affected farmers who were affected by draught and lost part or all their crops through conditional cash assistance and provision of agricultural inputs to avoid missing the next planting season in October.
In addition, PUI will provide farmers’ wives with awareness sessions on Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) in close collaboration with UNMAS.
Periodic escalations of hostilities since 2006 have resulted in the contamination of Gaza with a high number of ERW. According to UNMAS, The 2014 escalation resulted in an approximated 7,000 items of ERW. The remaining amount to be cleared is estimated to be approximately 1,000-1,500 with 5,521 items of ERW reported recovered. ERW impacts livelihoods primarily in agriculture field. Farming land, particularly along the eastern edge of the Gaza strip which witnessed some of the heaviest fighting during all previous conflicts, is impacted by ERW buried below the surface. Farmers working in battle damaged areas are at higher risk for injury.
According to PUI impact survey report from July 2017, all interviewed farmers indicated the importance and relevance of awareness raising sessions on the risks of ERW in avoiding incidents. The vast majority of farmers confirmed that the sessions contributed to improving their knowledge on the subject through changing wrong concepts and/or acquiring new information.
ERW continue to cause victims, some referred to PUI for assistance like for instance in August 2016. If providing risk education sessions in accident locations is necessary, targeting more people is a crucial preventive way to save lives.
Awareness sessions on child protection should also take place for PUI’s beneficiaries.
The different activities were discussed with FSS coordinator in order to provide the most effective and efficient intervention.
PUI will implement this action in close collaboration with the Arab Center for Agricultural Development (ACAD) and local Community Based-Organizations (CBOs) partners in the targeted areas of intervention.

Utilizing solar/photovoltaic energy to operate agricultural water wells and pumping systems
The Gaza Strip is currently suffering from a severe problem of electricity cuts which is currently 4 hours of electricity connection and 12 hours of electricity cut. This situation is putting framers in great risk of losing their crops, livestock and having their agricultural and livelihood assets threatened. To overcome this problem NDC in partnership with Al Nakheel Association is suggesting to utilize solar energy to operate agricultural water wells for farmers. The suggested system will be utilized to operate a maximum of 30 horse power submersible pump. This power produces from 55 to 100 cubic meters of water per hour. The water quantity pumped depends on the level of the underground water below ground surface. For example, if the ground water is available at 20 meters below ground surface, the system l produces from 90 to 100 cubic meters of water per hour and at 100 meters below ground surface, the system produces from 55 to 60 cubic meters of water per hour.
The suggested solar system consists of the following:
- Solar/Photovoltaic arrays/panels - Each array/panel will produce 224 W (1* 2 meter). A total of 134 arrays/panels are required. They will produce around 30,000 W.
- A 30 KW solar pumping inverter which is more than enough to operate the submersible 30 horse power water pump .
- Metal holding structure for the solar arrays
- Electrical connections and electrical panel
The total cost of the solar system for each water well is around $40,000. It is important to realize that the suggested system does not need storage batteries and hence the investment cost is lower and the operational cost is almost zero.
The project will install solar systems for around 10 water wells distributed all over the Gaza Strip (2 water wells in each of the five governorates of the Gaza Strip). NDC and Nakheel hope that such intervention will encourage other farmers to convert their existing electrical or fuel irrigation systems to solar system after realizing the feasibility and the advantages of the solar systems.

Emergency response to protect vulnerable families living in inadequate accommodation through the rehabilitation of their shelters
This project submission is linked to HRP project Ref. (OPT 17/S NF/96802) entitled “Emergency response to protect vulnerable families living in inadequate shelters through the rehabilitation of shelters and improvement of sanitation facilities in West Bank“. The project will target vulnerable herding and Bedouin families’ in area C living in inadequate shelters brought about by the challenging environment – including restriction of movement, settler violence, absence of a Master Plan and lack of building permits all these factors resulting in exposure to forced displacement. The proposed shelter renovation includes the rehabilitation and insulation of 87 dilapidated shelters. The project aims to protect herders’ and Bedouin families from harsh weather conditions, reduce the consequences of the challenging environment leading to forced displacement, and strengthen the resilience of target beneficiaries. Living standards will be improved through rehabilitation of the structurally unsound inadequate shelters in order to provide adequate protection from adverse weather conditions during summer and winter.

Building the resilience of vulnerable schools
Residents of Area C are among the most vulnerable in the West Bank in terms of humanitarian needs, access to basic services and inadequate infrastructure act as a barrier to students’ participation in schools. Children are vulnerable to a range of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and International Human Rights (IHR) violations while prospects of resilience building and development have been hindered by capacity and resource limitations of the Palestinian Authority. This project aims at improving access to education and enhances the resilience of teachers and students through PFA (Psychological First Aid) as well as an expressive art program to help build the essential skills of those who are living in conflict and vulnerable areas, in Southern Hebron. The project selected 6 schools that were identified upon their psychical structure, location in high tense areas with high number of education-related violation incidents and as per the recommendations and reports of the Ministry of Education, Attacks Against Schools (AAS) and Humanitarians Access to Education (HAE) 2015 in addition to the internal reports of World Vision school assessments. The activities carried out in the project will provide the vulnerable students with several attributes for adequate infrastructure such as: safe learning environments through school rehabilitation, installing good quality of caravans, basic material support and CCTVs where children might not be able to access education if these rehabilitation and basic materials support are not offered. Teachers will also be trained on using the CCTVS and documenting IHL Violations.
Furthermore, the project will also provide psychological support training for vulnerable students and school staff through the training of teachers on Psychological first aid (PFA), which involves humane, supportive and practical help to fellow human beings suffering serious crisis events. With this training, teachers would gain the needed skills to deal with the children who are more subjected to trauma and stress due occupation related incidents. School teachers will also be provided with training on utilizing expressive art techniques such as drama, painting and music program. Later, an extra-curricular program will be created to execute the techniques and activities with students

Protecting the Rights of Palestinian Minors Detained by Israel in the West Bank
The project will expose the procedures used by the Israeli military and security agencies in the arrest and interrogation of Palestinian minors in the West Bank and lead to the preservation of the minors' rights to due process and freedom from abuse and intimidation. It will require Israeli authorities to detain Palestinian minors in accordance with Israel's Youth Law, its obligations under international humanitarian law, and its commitments as a state party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The project will promote the accountability of Israeli authorities for violence and violations of rights of Palestinians under occupation, particularly the young. The project will also assist family members of detained Palestinian minors to visit their children, siblings and grandchildren. In flagrant violation of its obligations under the 4th Geneva Convention, Israel detains most of the Palestinians, including minors, it arrests in detention facilities in Israel. In addition to the harm and disorientation this practice causes arrested minors, it creates numerous obstacles and significant hardship to family members from the West Bank who wish to enter Israel to visit their loved ones.
The project will require the detention of minors to be by invitation and prior notification, during daylight hours only, and with the full presence of a parent or guardian or attorney at all stages of the detention, including interrogation only by a trained youth interrogator. It will insist upon the absolute prohibition on the use of physical and psychological abuse at any stage during the arrest, interrogation and detention of minors. While the Convention on the Rights of the Child ratified by Israel in 1991 and the UN Rules on the Protection of Juveniles Deprived of their Liberty (Havana Rules) of 1990 are the basic tools for protection, the Israel Youth Law incorporates many of their elements and expands upon them to specify how these rights are to be guaranteed and proper conditions of detention provided.
The vast majority of Palestinian minors detained by Israel in the West Bank are males, but their arrest and mistreatment affects all of their family members, of whom an average of 50 percent are women and girls. By exposing the treatment of their detained sons and siblings and pressing for change, the project will relieve suffering and provide recourse to address wrongs to all family members.
The project will provide youthful victims who request it with the legal assistance needed to seek redress for the harm done to them. Through direct correspondence with the military, attorney general and other Israeli duty bearers, and through principle and public interest petitions in Israeli courts, the project will assist the larger Palestinian community to challenge Israel's unlawful practices and demand change.
In addition to affidavits taken from Palestinian minors who experience arrest, interrogation and detention by Israel, a Freedom of Information Act petition will help to further reveal the nature and extent of Israel's unlawful practices in detaining Palestinian minors in the West Bank. Documentation of casework and website dissemination of information -- in Hebrew, Arabic and English -- will provide data and analysis for media and public advocacy and diplomatic démarches, bringing pressure to bear for change.
Seventy to 80 Palestinian minors detained by Israel in the West Bank and their 400 family members will see Israel's routine, unlawful and harmful practices during arrest, interrogation and detention of minors exposed and challenged in the Israeli judicial system. Through the project's legal challenges and detailed, fact-based reporting, Israel will be pressured to changes its illegal practices and respect its commitments to the Palestinian population under occupation, especially its most vulnerable members: children and their families who undergo the trauma of arrest and detention.

Protecting Right to Health in oPt through Advocacy
Over the past seven years, WHO has worked with government and non government partners to improve documentation and reporting of health rights in Palestine and to advocate on access with the UN and with legal duty bearers, including Israel, the Palestinian Authority and the de facto authorities in Gaza. Movement restrictions directly impact on access to health and health outcomes for patients, and hinder health workers and emergency services.
WHO has made every effort to mobilize funds to maintain this important work, but due to a funding shortfall after May 2017 there is risk of an abrupt halt to its health access reporting and advocacy activities. This comes at a time of high demand for advocacy due to the lowest levels of health access since 2009.
The policies of occupation expose Palestinians to violence and risk of death and injury at checkpoints, in demonstrations and in public spaces. Severe restrictions on the movement of goods and people into and out of Gaza, and the economic impact of limited access to Area C in the West Bank (which comprises over 60% of the West Bank), have had a detrimental effect on the broader social determinants of health, negatively affecting both physical and mental health. The violence and frustrations of occupation exacerbate the risk of gender based violence (GBV). .
In Gaza there are 2 million Palestinians of whom 70% are refugees a quarter are adult women and half are children. Since the tightening of movement restrictions in 2007, Gaza has experienced a chronic shortage of drugs, with 30% of essential medicines unavailable in April 2017. In the same month, 38% of needed medical disposables were not allowed to pass into Gaza and electricity supply remained limited to 8 hours per day for most. Many patients must travel outside of Gaza for specialized health care, including cancer patients for radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In Gaza in 2016 four of every ten patients and half of their companions were not approved permits to exit Gaza in time for their hospital appointments. WHO collects and analyses data on referrals, which showed declining health access for patients needing to exit Gaza for medical investigations and treatment. In December 2016, six in ten patients’ requests to travel were not approved, the lowest level since 2009.
In the West Bank, patients in 231 vulnerable communities in Area C, and communities in the Seam Zone and East Jerusalem peripheries are hindered from accessing essential primary healthcare services by the system of checkpoints, the separation barrier and a lack of finances and adequate transport infrastructure in remote areas. Access to referral health facilities (secondary or tertiary health care) in the West Bank, including in East Jerusalem, and for specialist care in Israel or elsewhere, depends on obtaining a permit for travelin advance. In 2016, one in five permit requests to travel to hospitals was rejected. Delays in medical care cause anxiety, poorer health outcomes and risk loss of life.
In East Jerusalem, the project will carry out a study into the social determinants of health and the specific barriers to accessing healthcare for residents.
Direct beneficiaries of the project were estimated on the basis of numbers denied or delayed permits to access healthcare in 2016, and divided by two for the six month period. The figure is conservative, but accounts for the fact that a proportion of those receiving permits do not subsequently seek care. Refugee estimates on the basis of an overall figure of 35% (Palestinian Return Centre). The project also supports patient rights groups.
Additional staff on the project, including the project manager, are supported by the additional donors listed under 'other funding'.
The project aims to promote the right to health for Palestinians through continued documenting of barriers to health care and ongoing advocacy efforts with partners

Urgent support for the most vulnerable families in Gaza Strip
Since mid-April 2017, the escalation in the internal Palestinian government divide has impacted the fragile economy of the Gaza Strip. Power shortages have undermined economic activity, particularly in the agricultural sectors, compounding the impact of an ongoing salary crisis in the public sector. In addition to the direct impact on affected staff who are now at risk of becoming food insecure, the salary crisis will ultimately be felt more broadly in Gaza's restricted economy, as a result of the expected fall in food consumption levels. Currently, the 1.2 million people in Gaza that are considered moderately to severely food insecure are experiencing increased economic obstacles in accessing food. Without additional social assistance and basic services, the food insecure will be placed at further risk (Gaza Crisis: Urgent Funding Appeal 2017, OCHA July 2017).
“Urgent support for the most vulnerable families in Gaza Strip “ will allow for the most vulnerable households in Gaza to immediately access fresh and nutritious local food. The project's objective aims to reduce food insecurity amongst vulnerable households in both Gaza and Northern Gaza Governorates. The Fresh Food Vouchers (FFVs) will be provided to vulnerable households, who are classified by MoSD and other stakeholders in Gaza. as living under deep poverty line, with insufficient or no access to any means of assistance and with limited cash capacity to meet their households' basic food needs in particular. Under this output,425 families will be supported with FFVs for a period of 6 months by linking them with fresh food shops and markets. On monthly basis, each beneficiary will be able to redeem a voucher value of 200 ILS for fresh vegetables and a voucher value of 120 ILS for chicken. The total monthly voucher value is 320 ILS (US$ 91.31 for each family. Beneficiaries will be nominated by the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) and will be verified according to Oxfam and MA'AN's criteria. The intervention will target vulnerable households in both the Gaza and Northern Governorate. Large families with 9 or more members, women headed households, and those with observed protection concerns and vulnerabilities will be prioritised in the beneficiary selection.

Essential and life-saving child and maternal health interventions in Gaza
In Gaza, electricity shortages and the lack of drugs and medical disposables are life threatening and over 1.2 million people are in need of humanitarian health interventions. An estimated 10,000 newborn infants out of 55,000 born every year are acutely vulnerable and in need of transfer to nursery and neonatal intensive care units for specialized life-saving treatment. These specialized units face shortages, such as incubators, ventilators, medical supplies of drugs and disposables, and lack of staff all of these risk factors place the 10,000 newborns at risk and contribute to the stagnant neonatal mortality rate, which is currently at 14 per 1,000. In addition, an estimated 140,000 out of the affected 274,000 children under five in Gaza are acutely vulnerable and suffering from chronic malnutrition and stunting. The prevalence of chronic malnutrition is primarily driven by poverty, poor maternal and childcare practices, and lack of safe drinking water. If untreated, chronic malnutrition can lead to debilitating consequences such as impaired physical growth and cognitive development. UNICEF’s response to these challenges is aligned with the Health Cluster’s first objective in the 2018 Humanitarian Response Plan in relation to improved access mothers, babies and young children in Gaza to essential and life-saving services.
UNICEF, with its partners, will target the most vulnerable communities in Khan Yunis, North Gaza and Rafah. Through this project, UNICEF will build on ongoing cooperation and coordination with major health providers including MOH, UNRWA and the NGOs (namely NECC and Ard El Insan). Incubators and phototherapy equipment will be procured and delivered to the neonatal intensive care units and intensive care units of Gaza hospitals with the most urgent needs (e.g. Al Shifa, Nasser). In parallel, UNICEF will support capacity development of medical teams, both doctors and nurses, on early new-born effective health, nutrition and development interventions and counselling. Support will also be provided to the NGO NECC to deliver the postnatal home visiting services within the 24 hours after delivery, particularly focusing on high risk pregnancies and vulnerable mothers and babies. In addition, UNICEF in partnership with the NGO Ard El Insan will support the building capacities of services providers from the primary health care centres on adequate infant and young child nutrition and early detection of developmental delays and disabilities, and subsequent interventions such as home visiting services to families with young children suffering from child developmental delays and malnutrition. Additional support from UNICEF will be provided in the procurement of iron supplements only for young children. This intervention will complement the promotion of diversified food intake which will be also implemented by the Ard El Insan through the community cooking demonstration and parent education sessions delivered at the community level and home.

Emergency support for greenhouse and poultry farmers to overcome the electricity crisis in the Gaza Strip
his project aims at Supporting greenhouses and poultry farmers and improving the livelihoods of selected vulnerable farmers ' households in the North Gaza , middle area , khan younis and Rafah South area of Gaza Strip.
The proposed intervention shapes UAWC work by addressing critical issues that impede farmers to build their resilience and overcome negative coping mechanisms.
Thus, activities will be addressed to install systems for solar units for operating electrical pumps for irrigation crops inside the greenhouses and to light poultry farms , this solar system will participate in solving the current electricity cut which reached to 22 hours per day and affected the irrigation time of the crops and led to dramatically drop in the agricultural production . The proposal has been designed following on the analysis of current UAWC quantitative and qualitative assessments, which show that one of the main problem of vulnerable farmers is the electricity cut which affected their crops and their agricultural product , the project will support 40 farmers, out of them 20 greenhouse farmer and 20 poultry farmer
The project is well framed under UAWC Strategy 2015-2017 and it is part of the main UAWC strategic objective " Enhancing the ability of small-scale farmers (women and men)to improve their living standards and strengthen their steadfastness", Now and in the Future". It contributes to the HRP main objectives. In concrete, the action is well articulated to main Food Security Sector (FSS) objectives, collected in the Allocation Strategy HRP 2017:
Key result 1: Ensure acutely-vulnerable Palestinians under occupation in the Gaza Strip and the West
Bank have access to essential services.
Key result 2: Strengthen the ability of acutely-vulnerable Palestinian households to cope with protracted threats and shocks
Strong MampE and feedback mechanisms will be put in place to ensure timely and quality implementation, high level of results and relevant community participation, including men, women, boys and girls..

Integrated emergency shelter assistance to Palestinian refugees from Syria, Libya, Yemen and Iraq in the Gaza Strip.
The proposed action will provide life‑saving emergency assistance to displaced Palestinian refugees who fled from conflict zones in Syria, Libya, Iraq and Yemen back into the Gaza Strip and are considered as a priority caseload in the allocation strategy. Specifically, the project will aim at ensuring that the most acutely vulnerable households among the target group have access to safe and dignified shelter in order to avoid excess mortality during winter.
The present proposal is a combination of two HRP top-priority vetted projects under the codes OPT-17/S-NF/98233 and OPT-17/S-NF/98328. As such, it will revolve around two main components: a shelter self-upgrade mechanism and Transitional Shelter Cash Assistance (TSCA). After a household per household assessment of shelter needs, each beneficiary will receive an individualized upgrade plan that could include any combination of upgrade works, winterization, NFIs and rental assistance. Depending on the identified needs, each household could benefit from all modalities or only one. The first aim of the project is to provide safe and durable shelter conditions, if not possible, beneficiaries will at least benefit from winterization activities to protect them during the winter. This built-in flexibility, through case by case need analysis will ensure that each beneficiary receives only the most relevant assistance for his household and will maximize cost-efficiency and impact.
In order to foster ownership and resilience, all assistance will be provided in the form of closely monitored cash grants to be disbursed by beneficiaries in order to implement the activities. In order to ensure this cash approach results in safe and quality shelter conditions, all beneficiaries will receive continuous technical guidance and support throughout the project, with a specific focus on the most vulnerable.
Eventually, the project will mainstream a strong protection, gender and Accountability to Affected Population (AAP) component through the structuration of Community Based Protection Committees (CBPC). Those committees will constitute a two way communication channel between the project team and beneficiaries, and will ensure that the specific needs of each individual are factored in into the assistance design, implementation and evaluation. The CBPCs will be based on members of Haqi, a Community Based Organization that has been established to represent and provide peer support to refugees from the Middle East in the Gaza Strip.
Considering the extreme vulnerability identified among some targeted beneficiaries, the project will have lifesaving impact. The proposed assistance is time critical, in so far as the assessments conducted reveal that the coping capacities of targeted populations are exhausted, and that any further deterioration of their vulnerability could have lethal consequences, especially if no shelter assistance is provided before the winter. Eventually, by covering the most basic and urgent needs of beneficiaries, the project will be critically enabling for other actors to implement highly needed longer term projects, in particular in the education, health and protection sectors.

Sustaining the Provision of Essential Health Services by Health Work Committees to the Most Vulnerable Communities in the south governorate of the West Bank
The old city of Hebron is considered one of the most struggling areas in the West Bank due to the settler’s arrogance and crimes, arrogance of the Israeli occupation, and the large number of military checkpoints and repetitive closures. Therefore, HWC decided to establish Hebron Emergency Center based on its mission for providing health and development services to marginalized people in order to enhance its steadfastness. The center was established in 2002. Then it became the one of the main health facilities that provides Women Health Program’s services, Chronic Disease Program’s services and among other primary health care services. This is in addition to providing specialized services (11 specialties. The current project is an outcome of the continuous assessment of the general situation and particular health needs of the communities in the old city of Hebron (H2) through HWC’s Hebron Emergency Center with special focus on the health needs of the vulnerable communities. This is in addition to analyzing secondary data review published by others. The assessment revealed the presence of two pressing problems faced by the communities in the old city of Hebron (H2), which are the escalation of political violence imposed by the Israeli occupation and its settlers upon communities in the old city of Hebron (H2) and so these communities have been considered one of the most vulnerable communities in the West Bank. As the presence of the Israeli occupation and its systematic violence practices have been imposing threat on the livelihood of these communities. Moreover, the Israeli occupation has been imposing restriction movements upon these communities, which hinders the ability of these communities to reach out for health services outside the old city of Hebron (H2). Thus, the Sustaining the Provision of Essential Health Services by Hebron Emergency Center of Health Work Committees to the Most Vulnerable Communities in the south governorate of the West Bank Health has the overall objective to contribute to the promotion of equitable access to essential health services of adequate quality by communities in the old city of Hebron (H2). The overall objective will be accomplished through two specific objectives (1) To increase the capacity of Hebron Emergency Center of Health Work Committees to provide essential health services to communities in the old city of Hebron (2) To increase the access to women’s health services, chronic disease services and access to medical supplies and lifesaving drugs in the targeted communities. This will be accomplished through two expected results (1) The capacity of the Hebron Emergency Center of HWC to provide essential health services is increased, This correspond to the first specific objective and (2) The communities in the old city of Hebron (H2) have received women’s health services, chronic disease services, emergency services and medical supplies and lifesaving drugs through Hebron Emergency Center of HWC. The first expected result will be accomplished through the implementation of the following activity providing the Hebron Emergency Center with basic medications and medical disposables. While the second expected result will be accomplished through the following activities the Hebron Emergency Center provides healthcare services including primary health services, through the Women Health Program, the center provides services that focus primarily on early detection of diseases, especially breast and cervical cancer and on health education. In addition to the organization of open health days in which topics related to women and their health in all aspects of life, legal and human rights, are discussed, through the Chronic Disease Program, the center provides services which is essential for the early detection of complications of diabetes and therefore early treatment. It also provides educational sessions in areas of proper nutrition personal hygiene, and how to deal and cope with diabetes.

Supporting the Right to Recovery for Traumatized Children and their Families in Conflict Affected Areas of the West Bank and East Jerusalem
Since 2014, Israeli military campaigns in both the West Bank and Gaza Strip have continued to violate the human rights of all Palestinians, especially children, accumulating further burden to decades of traumas and human rights abuses particularly in conflict affected areas of Hebron, including the H2 District where children are at high risk of politically motivated violence by Israeli security forces and settlers, as well as in villages in East Jerusalem. In these areas, children suffer from increasing fear for their lives as a result of torture, politically motivated violence, and other forms of human rights abuses that threaten to destroy their normal childhood development and hinder their growth and livelihood. Families, especially children, are at risk of physical and psychological trauma caused by frequent exposure to violence and abuse. As children make up 55% of the total population in Palestine, they are at high risk of human rights violations attributed to the on-going conflict. Unlike adults, they are less capable of relying on their verbal communication skills to express their frustrations, anger or fear. If left untreated, Children can develop chronic and long-term side-effects, including PTSD, which can severely inhibit their psychological well-being and development. Many children in Palestine that suffer from torture, violence or ill-treatment under the context of the on-going conflict exhibit poor social skills, hopelessness, loss of education, and a deterioration of their relationships with friends, family and relatives. In their daily lives, they are systematically exposed to house demolitions, land or property confiscation, and movement restrictions in addition to violence and loss of loved ones. Palestinian children also suffer from domestic violence, which is directly correlated and attributed to the prevalence and continued use of torture and organized violence in Palestine. The fact that these children are burdened creates a strong necessity for psychological intervention. TRC seeks to deploy a team of 4 full-time human rights oriented field psychologists to provide individual, group, family and child therapy to a minimum of 200 direct children for a duration of 6 months. In addition, TRC will deploy a Crisis Intervention Protocol to provide immediate response to families and children suffering from shock and trauma due to sudden violent and traumatic situations to assist them in reducing stress and anxiety through debriefing exercises, appropriately responding to emergency crises, and providing support to other family members, especially children whom may exhibit signs but may not be able to communicate their suffering. Additionally, TRC will conduct 6 awareness raising workshops to strengthen and empower marginalized communities to identify and become familiar with the Convention on the Rights of the Child as a framework to promote better understanding, and encourage increased activity of children and youth in the promotion of their rights according to international laws under the context of promoting a more tolerant and human rights-oriented Palestinian society. Finally, TRC will conduct 3 workshops for 60 School administrators, especially those that are directly in contact with children, in order to sensitize them to the needs of children suffering from psychological disorders and in order to promote a support system in coordination with parents to assist children in overcoming their suffering.
