XM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-20/DDA-3482/2RA/HNC/UN/15523United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsOn 30 January 2020, the WHO Director-General declared the COVID-19 outbreak a “public health emergency of international concern” (PHEIC). The Emergency Committee has also provided recommendations to WHO, to all countries, and to the global community, on measures to control the outbreak. On the 11 March 2020, WHO announced the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, affecting 123 countries and territories. On 5 March, the Ministry of Health (MoH) of the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) reported its first 7 confirmed COVID-19 cases to WHO - a cluster of hotel workers in Bethlehem who were in contact with a Greek tourist group which tested positive for COVID-19 upon their return to Greece. Since then, MoH reported 37 more confirmed cases bringing the total number to 44 (as of 18-Mar-2020, 10:00am). Cases have now been reported in Bethlehem, Tulkarm, Nablus and Ramallah. The MoH has also reported the community transmission of the virus as family members of the first detected had also been tested positive for COVID-19. Since the first cases were reported globally, the WHO office in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) and partners have been gradually expanding the support to the Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Health (MoH) to prepare for and respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. These efforts intensified since the first reported cases in oPt. The overall objective of this project is to support the Palestinian Authority Ministry of Health (PA MoH) to stop the human-to-human transmission of the COVID-19 and provide adequate care for patients affected by COVID-19, their families and close contacts. The project aims to accelerate the strengthening and scaling-up of the MoH capacity to prevent, early detect and respond to COVID-19 outbreak. WHO will support the MoH in: (1) procuring and delivering the PPE supplies, (2) supporting MoH's efforts in scaling-up COVID-19 case management, especially in Gaza focussing on ensuring the ability of the health system to treat COVID-19 cases, including critical ones, and expanding laboratory support. As part of the inter-agency risk communication and community engagement task force, WHO will support collective efforts to educate and actively communicate with the public and reaching the population with tailored messaging through community engagement and interpersonal communication approaches. WHO estimates that up to 5,000 women and men in OpT will have access to adequate COVID-19 treatment, up to 600 patients will have COVID-19 tests and communities in all 5 Gaza governorates will have received communication messages for prevention of COVID-19 (up to 500,000 men and women). Additionally up to 500 health workers will benefit from capacity building activities and up to 65 health facilities will benefit from infection prevention and control supplies.

Children under the age of 5 have enhanced health and nutritional status from integrated community case management of childhood illnesses and malnutrition. The provision of essential medical supplies and micronutrients supplements are accessible for children under 5 at primary health care in ARA 2. Increased access to and use of quality maternal and nutrition services for women in reproductive age, pregnant and lactating women and 3. Saved lives of children with major childhood illnesses such as acute respiratory infections and diarrhea as well as causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality. The project targets 14,000 direct beneficiaries (4000 womengt18 years, 4900 girls and 5100 boyslt18 years) selected based on vulnerability criteria: women and children with reduced mobility (with physical disabilities, and bed-ridden) and with non-mobility related disabilities (blind, hard of hearing, intellectually) women and children in ARA according to their location, status, protection risks and needs severity. Beneficiaries are selected from most affected locations in Gaza North (Jabalya Camp, Jabalya, Izbat Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahiya, Arab Maslakh Beit Lahya, and Al Qaraya al Badawiya al Maslakh) Gaza (Ash Shati' Camp, Gaza City, Juhor ad Dik) Deir ALBalah (Wadi as Salqa, Al Musaddar, Al Maghazi Camp, and Al Bureij Camp), Khan Younis (Abasan al Jadida, Abasan al Kabira, Al Fukhkhari, Mawasi Khan Yunis, Bani Suheila, and Khuza'a) and Rafah (Rafah, Al Bayuk, Shokat as Sufi, Al Mawasi Rafah). The project links to HRP 2020 Strategic Objective # 2 Health and Nutrition Cluster Objective # 1 2020 1st Reserve Allocation Strategy standard activities and indicators and cluster geographical priorities (in Gaza). It forms a strong joint venture based on complementarity and synergy between PMRS, RCS4GS and Ard El Insan with long experience and 2 child (particularly under 5) health and nutrition clinics in Gaza and Khan Younis, 2 child and women health clinics at RCS4GS in Jabalia camp and Gaza city, and 3 child and women health clinics at PMRS in Fokhari, Gaza and Jabalia. They are well suited to implement responsive common and specialized activities (based on the specialization and experience of each partner) to address priority needs of under five children and pregnant/lactating mothers and achieve project outcomes. The project applies right based approach and “do no harm” principle. Its activities are: treating 10000 children under 5 years with malnutrition and providing them with regular medical supplies and micronutrient supplements providing quality maternal and nutrition services to 4000 women in reproductive age, pregnant and lactating women providing life-saving medication to 1000 children with major childhood illnesses training 20 health workers from PHCs facilities in nutritional protocols and community engagement mechanisms like 80 cooking demonstrations, 150 awareness raising sessions, radio ads, community meetings, media visits, FGDs, leaflets, fact sheets and satisfaction forms.

It is based on the 2020 Humanitarian Needs Overview and it is aligned with the Shelter/ NFI Cluster Objective 2 “Vulnerable households exposed to harsh weather and protection concerns are supported to meet basic needs and enhance their coping capacity” and 2020 HRP Strategic Objective 2 ” The basic needs of vulnerable Palestinians living under occupation are met through the provision of quality basic services and improved access to resources, in accordance with the rights of protected persons under International Humanitarian Law”. It also rests on several recent assessments conducted by ACTED and MAAN in Gaza. ACTED and MA’AN have developed a strong expertise in emergency and long-term shelter assistance in Gaza, through several in-kind and cash-based successful programs. ACTED and MA’AN are currently implementing a shelter project in Rafah and Middle-Area governorates, funded under the HPF 2019 2nd standard allocation. A strong framework has already been established to support the on-going implementation of the shelter upgrading project in Gaza. Thus ACTED and MA’AN are able to amply extend the project to target additional households. This will foster rapid implementation and operationalization of project teams, as well cost-efficient activities. The project aims at providing vulnerable households affected by weather extremes and living in substandard shelters with temporary and longer-term shelter assistance. The project will increase the access to safe and secure shelters for vulnerable households exposed to harsh weather and natural hazards concerns in Middle Area and Rafah governorates. It will enhance the households’ capacity to cope with the risk of deterioration of living conditions by providing urgent and long-term shelter interventions and ensure more durable solutions. In total, 350 HHs will be assisted they will be provided with household shelter NFI kits and will be assisted through a light rehabilitation of the most urgent shelter items – waterproofing and rehabilitation of walls, roofs, windows and inside / outside doors. A total of 1,995 beneficiaries will benefit from the project. The action will be supported by the mainstreaming of an Integrated Protection Approach (IPA) to ensure that the rights of all household’s members are respected with full dignity and safety, with a specific focus on women, children and people with disabilities. Accountability to Affected Population (AAP) will be also ensured through regular contact and visits to beneficiaries, engagement of households in the intervention design, Community-based Protection Committees (CBPCs) and a comprehensive Complaint Response Mechanism. Finally, the project design endorses all of the Shelter/NFI Cluster recommendations, in particular by providing a tailored combination of modalities, which include provision of NFI kits and a cash-based self-help approach for shelter rehabilitation to the 350 selected households based on their needs. This will maximize impact on beneficiaries while fostering ownership and resilience of the targeted community.

The project comes in line with HRP 2020 strategic objectives 2 and 1st Reserve Allocation strategic objective #2 for Shelter amp NFI with the aim of Provision of temporary shelter assistance for the most vulnerable households in Gaza Strip and in line with the Shelter and NFIs Cluster Objective 2.The project will target 400 women-headed households living in substandard housing conditions are at risk of exposure to extreme weather and protection concerns identified by SIF annual assessment and updated of the data base of orphans sponsored households in July and August 2019. Also, SIF conducted cumulative shelter assessment with focus on winterization/ summerization elements between September 2019 and January 2020 targeting a sample of 292 HHs identified by the annual assessment as living in poor shelter condition. The assessment found a need for urgent rehabilitation and NFIs assistance ahead of the winter season. The project has been designed in accordance with the SIF extensive experience in the field and in close consultation with beneficiaries as well as the shelter cluster to support families with the needed urgent winterization and summarization assistance. It will include light summarization rehabilitation work such as rehabilitation of roofs made of metal or asbestos by replacing the damage metal sheets, fixing windows and doors for bathrooms and bedrooms to maintain privacy, light maintenance of WASH facilities and installing renewable power supply system to improve coping capacity of the families during the winter and summer season and electricity cuts. It will also include provision of NFIs and /or to undertake light shelter repair/ rehabilitation through restricted cash based modality. Based on actual need and priority, each HH will receive an individualized rehabilitation plan corresponding to the specific needs of their shelter and beneficiary preferences in order to make it comply with winterization /summarization minimum standards. The project will provide complementary urgent shelter assistance to the ongoing Winterization Project that SIF is implementing now to assist 500 HHs and already have completed the distribution of Winterization NFIs for the targeted 500 HHs and rehabilitation of shelter winterization for 110 HHs only. The project will respond to the need of shelter rehabilitation for 100 HHs from any of the remaining 390 HHs out of 500 HHs who received only winterization NFI assistance in the ongoing project and or other HHs on the waiting list. The project will combine the urgent intervention such as cash distribution for NFIs, light maintenance for windows, doors, and WASH facilities with long term interventions such as using renewable power energy and improving the kitchen hygiene spaces to achieve more sustainable solutions and adequate protection for the most vulnerable households. SIF will sign an agreement with300 targeted beneficiaries clarifying the type of NFIs they can purchase by amount up of $300. SIF will transfer the cash payment via banks considering proximity of the banks to beneficiaries’ locality. Each beneficiary will receive a cheque of $300 from SIF office and cash the amount and heading to any vendor(s) to purchase NFIs they need including clothes, furnishes kitchen tools, and hygiene items that identified by the beneficiaries in the need assessment.. SIF will Follow contractor modality for 100 HHS who need the shelter rehabilitation as the targeted women headed the HHs do not have the capacity to manage the rehabilitation by shelf help modality.

This pressure caused breakages in sewer pipes, causing storm water mixing with sewage water that in turn over-floods residential areas and sewage pumping stations. Due to poor infrastructure and power outages, Jabalia area is often subject to frequent floods of rainwater mixed with sewage, as rainwater is drained through sewage networks in most areas. Al Saftawi basin was constructed in a residential area at the western of Jabalia, with a total volume of 41,000 m3. The filtration system is insufficient and its efficiency has reduced due to accumulate of sludge and the sewage flood into the basin. In January 2020, the area was subjected to two successive floods and more than 7000 people were directly affected by the flood, while the flood caused restriction to the movement of 15,000 persons. The proposed project aims to mitigate the flooding and health risk for more than 7,000 persons in Jabalia and is designed to reduce the HHs and the public’s loss of economy and livelihood assets through improving the capacity of two main storm water facilities. Under the first outcome, the drainage capacity in Al Saftawi basin will be improved by constructing a new 2,150 m of 18-inch storm water pressure pipeline to discharge rain water from the basin to the existing storm water gravity pipeline. In parallel, SC will carry out awareness raising activities to improve the flood risk awareness as well as hygiene promotion for 3,200 people from the targeted communities surrounding the storm water basins. The project proposal directly responds to the allocation strategy where it will address the need to repair pumping stations and storm-water facilities in order to deal with storm-water and wastewater floods. This will enhance the winter preparedness and protection for 21,000 vulnerable and unprotected people in Jabalia from storm-water and wastewater flooding. The project will reduce public health hazards affecting the targeted population by introducing mitigating measures to prevent untreated sewage contaminating critical water sources in the area, the flow of untreated sewage directly to streets damaging the surrounding environment. The project builds on SCI experience in the oPt since 1956, and the established strong relationships with key stakeholders. SCI has extensive experience in directly implementing WASH projects in Gaza, where it is currently the WASH Cluster focal point for North Gaza and is part of the WASH Monitoring group. The proposed project will leverage SCI’s close working relationship with the PWA and CMWU for all WASH components, as well as other implementers of WASH interventions and local partners within the WASH Cluster.Save the ChildrenSave the ChildrenoPt Humanitarian FundMaher TurjmanResource Mobilization and Reporting Manager0599648024maher.turjman@savethechildren.orgGaza Strip31.35644200 34.32704700Water, Sanitation and Hygiene364999.74364999.74oPt Humanitarian FundSave the Children364999.74oPt Humanitarian FundSave the ChildrenXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-20/DDA-3482/RA1/WASH/INGO/14956United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe proposed project is designed in response to the recent appeal by CMWU at the WASH Cluster meeting (28 January 2020) and is in line with WASH Cluster's Objective 1) Ensure equitable, affordable and sustainable access to safe and sufficient WASH services with dignity for the unserved, underserved and most vulnerable Palestinians living under occupation in Gaza Strategic HRP Objective 2) and Sustainable Development Goal 6). The project aims to support the entire population of the Gaza Strip (i.e. 2,047,969 individuals with 44.1% children, % 27.7women, 28.2% men and 7% PWD) (according to pcbs population projection 2020) with access to safe water for drinking amp domestic use and reducing the risk of outbreaks of water-borne diseases in Gaza by ensuring the water is free from biological contamination. The project will target the entire population of the Gaza Strip, regardless of age, gender or disability. Although the project does not directly respond to the distinct needs of women, men, or elderly, the services provided under this project will ensure that all the population of the Gaza Strip has equal and meaningful access to safe drinking and domestic water. Key interventions will include: - Conducting critical maintenance works for 5 essential water wells located in Beit Lahia and Bani Suhaila. These wells are: Salateen water well, Bisan water well and Bani Suhail water booster. The wells are located. - Reconstruction of WASH facility destroyed on 5Feb in Beach Refugee Camp based on recommendation of WASH Cluster and OCHA. - Conducting essential repair, maintenance and replacement of key spare parts for the chlorinators/chlorine dosing pumps, to ensure the right dose of sodium hypochlorite is injected in the pumped water through the network. - Ensuring over 99% disinfection efficiency of all water distribution system in the Gaza Strip through provision of chlorine to cover 284 water wells, 55 water reservoirs, 26 water lifting and booster stations, over 2,987 km of water networks and carrier lines, 48 small-medium sized brackish water desalination plants (50m3/day to 1000m3/day), and three connections of Mekorot water supply across the Green Line with Israel with average total annual supply capacity of 10MCM. - Carry out regular and consistent water quality testing for three months Samples from 580 locations across the Gaza Strip will be tested for water quality and/or residual chlorine level on a monthly basis to monitor water quality amp or residual chlorine level to ensure safe water delivery to the population of Gaza. All test results will be logged into the monitoring database to inform actions required for water safety plans. This project aims to fill in short-term funding gap by providing chlorine and essential maintenance to pre-identified water wells. After the 3 months, it will be the responsibility of CMWU to continue to mobilise resources and collection mechanisms to cover the cost of chlorine for the rest of the year. Carrying out critical preventive and corrective maintenance of essential WASH facilities will increase the lifespan of WASH facilities and improve service delivery on the mid-term and possibly longer-term. The project will also target public desalination plants including the ones in marginalised and vulnerable areas ensuring women amp children benefit equally as men and other vulnerable groups. Human Appeal (HA) initiated work in Palestine in 2017 and has registered offices in Gaza and the West Bank. HA is fully operational in Gaza with qualified and experienced field staff, has complete access in the target locations and has the necessary resources for ensuring a successful implementation of the project. Furthermore, HA regularly coordinates with the PWA, CMWU, UN, and other actors. We maintain regular communication with area focal points and ensure that all our projects are well-coordination.

This is to avoid generating polluted water (mixing stormwater with wastewater) in one high risk area facing recurring floods (Saftawi area) within Jabalia city. The proposed activities aim to protect directly about 70,000 individuals living in the targeted area and about 100,000 individuals indirectly, allowing the beneficiaries to go about their business safely during the rainy season and the rest of the year. This project also targets persons with disability (PWDs). It is estimated that 1,267 PWDs live in the affected area and are even more impacted by recurring floods reducing further their mobility The proposed measures were identified by the key WASH actors in the Gaza Strip, namely the Palestinian Water Authority (PWA), the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU), Municipality of Jabalia (MoJ), the WASH cluster area focal point and AAH, as an emergency response in line with the HRP 2020 objectives. The project will support the service providers to improve their stormwater management capacity to better protect people and their assets from floods and more generally from health risks resulting from wastewater and stormwater getting mixed throughout the year. In addition, AAH will support vulnerable households through hygiene promotion awareness, developing and distributing Information, Education and Communication material to flood-affected families. This will improve household’s living conditions and contribute to protect household members from health risks in flood prone areas.Fundacion Accion Contra El Hambre (Action Against Hunger )Fundacion Accion Contra El Hambre (Action Against Hunger )oPt Humanitarian FundUnited Nations OCHA Financial Tracking Service (UN OCHA FTS)Lucas HonauerAAH Country Director+972 (0)546 87 43 49 lhonauer@pt.acfspain.org Gaza Strip31.35644200 34.32704700Water, Sanitation and HygieneOccupied Palestinian Territory Humanitarian Response Plan 2020331223.6533776.10364999.75oPt Humanitarian FundFundacion Accion Contra El Hambre (Action Against Hunger )291999.80oPt Humanitarian FundFundacion Accion Contra El Hambre (Action Against Hunger )72999.95oPt Humanitarian FundFundacion Accion Contra El Hambre (Action Against Hunger )XM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-20/DDA-3482/RA3/HNC/INGO/15718United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThis project comes as part of the quick response of the Health Cluster's Interagency COVID-19 Response Plan to the urgent needs of the MoH in Gaza to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the world has been struck hard by this crisis, Gaza was not immune. Global health systems are collapsing in the face of the corona virus and Gaza, with its collapsing health system due to the many factors playing a part in this, is on the brink of collapse if organisations and the international community do not act hastily. Medical Aid for Palestinians has reacted to the COVID 19 crisis releasing hygiene kits, drugs, disposables and PPE to the MoH. However, the needs are still vast and the HNC and MoH are releasing daily shortage of supplies that urgently need to be covered. This project will be a procurement project improving MoH's preparedness to the COVID 19 crisis focusing on procuring and immediately releasing: PPE, Disinfectants/Anti-septic, disposables and medications. MAP has a strong history of being one of the earliest respondents to emergencies in Gaza and we also have a very adaptive procurement system that enables us to procure items in a fast fashion.

The Emergency Committee has also provided recommendations to WHO, to all countries, and to the global community, on measures to control the outbreak. On the 11 March 2020, WHO announced the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, affecting 123 countries and territories. On 5 March, the Ministry of Health (MoH) of the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) reported its first 7 confirmed COVID-19 cases to WHO - a cluster of hotel workers in Bethlehem who were in contact with a Greek tourist group which tested positive for COVID-19 upon their return to Greece. Since then, MoH reported 158 more confirmed cases bringing the total number to 165 (as of 03-Apr-2020, 10:00am). Cases have now been reported all across the oPt, including in Gaza (12 cases as of 03-Apr-2020, 10:00am). The MoH has also reported the localized community transmission of the virus as family members of the first detected had also been tested positive for COVID-19. Since the first cases were reported globally, the WHO office in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) and partners have been gradually expanding the support to the Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Health (MoH) to prepare for and respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. These efforts intensified since the first reported cases in oPt. The overall objective of this project is to support the Palestinian Authority Ministry of Health (PA MoH) to contain the human-to-human transmission of the COVID-19. The project aims to accelerate the strengthening and scaling-up of the MoH capacity to early detect the COVID-19 and adequately trace contacts of confirmed cases. WHO will support the MoH in: (1) procuring and delivering the essential supplies for scaling-up of laboratory testing for COVID-19 and expanding laboratory support. WHO estimates that up to 5,000 women and men in oPr will have access to adequate COVID-19 screening through laboratory testing. This allocation would contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the inter-agency COVID-19 response plan launched on 27 March. It is also in line with the Palestinian National COVID-19 Response Plan launched by the PM’s office on 26 March 2020.

While UNRWA continues to provide essential primary health care services to 1.4 million Palestine refugees in Gaza, this project aims to alleviate the pressure on the public health system by providing non-refugee population an access to UNRWA health services for primary health care needs. In case the further restriction of movement, such as curfew, is announced, the entire population in the Gaza Strip would still be able to call UNRWA health hotline for primary health needs. For mild cases, medical officers will provide advice via phone consultations. For life-saving cases, management plan will be developed and needed medicines will be prescribed. For Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) cases who need medications, UNRWA will document the cases as primary window to the services, but MoH would still be responsible for non-refugee case management as well as the delivery of medicines. Currently, some medicines are not available in MoH nor UNRWA stock, and those essential medicines will be procured under this project.

This reserve allocation will specifically be used, to respond to the COVID-19 emergency and mainly procurement of medical equipment and supplies, to ensure prevention, preparedness and treatment of the COVID-19 outbreak. Additionally, the allocation will be providing effective risk communication and community engagement to address rumors and misinformation and to build trust in credible information sources and establishing a two way communication channels with the communities. This will feed into the work currently being undertaken by UNICEF with MOH, WHO and the private sector with regards to Risk Communications and Community Engagement aimed at disseminating public health awareness messages and addressing uncertainty and misinformation The allocation is also a critical emergency response to provide support to around 50 health care facilities (HCF) in the West Bank which have been designated by the Ministry of Health (MoH) to be used for quarantine, testing and treating patients from COVID-19. These facilities lack adequate supplies and equipment needed to ensure safe and proper waste management especially during emergency response with the medical waste disposal equipment and supplies. UNICEF, aims to positively protect the patients and health workers in health centers from infection and diseases transmission through suitable medical waste management. Medical waste is considered infectious and biohazardous waste, can easily spread any disease virally and can even pose a danger to life, therefore, managing waste disposal in a safe and proper way could protect and save the lives of health workers and patients United Nations Children's FundUnited Nations Children's FundGaza Sky GeeksoPt Humanitarian FundEtona EkoleDeputy Special Representative+9725840000eekole@unicef.orgGemma QuerolChief of WASH+9725840000gquerol@unicef.orgSelena BajraktarevicChief of Health and Nutrition+9725840000sbajraktarevic@unicef.orgMariane DaibesPartnerships Specialist+9725840000mdaibes@unicef.orgGaza Strip31.35644200 34.32704700West Bank31.98598100 35.29994700HealthWater, Sanitation and Hygiene2100000.002100000.00oPt Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Children's Fund2100000.00oPt Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Children's FundXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-20/DDA-3482/RA3/PROT/UN/15725United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe intervention will focus on the provision of protection tools and support services for men, women and children to address the multitude of needs emerging from and compounded by COVID-19.

In particular, the action responds to the Shelter and Non-Food Items Shelter Cluster’s Objective, ”Improve vulnerable households’ capacities and resilience to reduce the spread of the pandemic” and Objective 2, “Reduce the overcrowding in shelters to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19”. ACTED already triggered a rapid mechanism to assist quarantine areas in Rafah governorate of Gaza Strip with NFIs and hygiene materials. By replenishing the existing stockpiling under this action, ACTED will provide 2000 customized hygiene kits (for males, females and children) and 15 cleaning kits to the 15 quarantine facilities in Rafah, Middle Area and Khan Younis governorates. In addition, the action will deliver hygiene kits to 1150 vulnerable households at higher risk of being affected by COVID-19 in Rafah, Middle Area and Khan Younis governorates . ACTED will distribute the purchased kits based on the emerging needs of quarantine centers and vulnerable households. The beneficiaries of the action will be prioritized through ACTED’s recent assessment and in fully coordination with the Shelter Cluster, based on the lists from the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) and the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (MoPWH). Finally, through 5 Community-based Protection Committees (CBPCs) and the Community-based Emergency Response Network (CERN), established and trained by ACTED under previous projects in the targeted governorate, the action will contribute to support the RCCE plan by disseminating COVID-19 related information on a weekly basis, reaching all the communities in 3 governorates. ACTED has already established a range of measure to both ensure the continuity of its work and to minimize exposure to the virus among the staff and, to the extent possible, beneficiaries. While adapting its work practices to maximize the number of staff who can work from home, ACTED maintains only strictly emergency movements to ensure delivery of humanitarian assistance to people in need. ACTED staff carrying out distributions is equipped with protective gear, wear latex gloves and masks and is provided with hand sanitizers. The proposed activities have been fully coordinated with the Shelter/NFI Cluster and with MA’AN in order to avoid overlapping of assistance. In fact, while MAAN will focus its intervention in Gaza and North Gaza governorate, ACTED will provide assistance in Middle Area, Rafah and Khan Younis governorates. The coordination mechanism will continue during the implementation in order to ensure complementarity and fill gaps when needed.

In total 10 institutions and 1480 households in about 35 communities will be targeted across 6 governorates. These communities have not been supported by any other party regarding the COVID 19 outbreak, and do not have the financial capacities to purchase the needed hygiene materials to maintain the basic hygiene levels in their shelters while this is crucial to limit the risk of transmission and protect the most vulnerable family members Through this project, AAH will support key institutions to fulfil their role in the COVID-19 crisis context as well as communities who are facing different challenges preventing them from benefiting from the public initiatives regarding the pandemic. AAH will prioritize the most vulnerable groups and communities, including: 1- Isolated communities who do not have permanent access to Palestinian communities and Markets in Areas A and B. 2- Communities with high exposure to Israeli settlements and military points (which have been a vector of transmission). 3- Communities that are highly affected by COVID 19 outbreak (high number of infections and domestic quarantine cases). 4- Communities who are being affected by the Israeli increasing restrictions in Area C (Jordan Valley, E1). 5- Communities with bad shelters conditions and lacking the minimum shelter standards regarding protection and hygiene. Throughout the project, AAH will closely coordinate with the crisis management team in targeted governorates as well as the humanitarian initiatives and clusters. AAH will review its implementation process to comply with national guidelines and minimize risks of transmission to communities and its staff while ensuring effective implementation in a timely manner. AAH framework agreements and in-depth knowledge of the targeted areas will enable a timely response and ensure acceptance.

It also responds to the food security sector objectives 1 amp 2. The planned action is based on recent needs assessments conducted in late 2019 and beginning of 2020 by Agricultural Development Association (PARC), Union of Agricultural Workers Committees (UAWC) and coordinated by PUI with the Ministry of agriculture and the Food Security Sector (FSS). The assessments concerned 485 farmers affected by floods and herbicide spraying in the five governorates of the Gaza Strip and 427 vulnerable fishermen affected by harsh weather conditions and Israeli violations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL). The livelihoods of affected farmers and fishermen were strongly impacted by floods, herbicide spraying and harsh weather conditions farmers open field crops were damaged and fishermen lost their fishing nets and access to the sea. The final figures of damages for affected farmers were estimated 700.000 USD due to herbicide spraying and 300.000 USD due to floods. These figures were agreed upon by the crisis cell established by PUI, FSS, MoA, PARC and UAWC. PUI partnered with PARC and UAWC to coordinate a tailored response to affected farmers and fishermen. In close collaboration with PUI, PARC will assist 265 affected farmers in the Gaza Strip with conditional cash assistance to enable them restoring their livelihoods while UAWC will target 304 most vulnerable fishermen through the provision of fishing nets, repairs and Cash for work. The conditional cash for farmers will amount to 800 USD per affected farmer in order to re-launch farming activity on one dunum (1000 m2). The payment will be done in three installments. The provision of fishing tools and equipment will include three types of new fishing nets. Repairs will be done through temporary job opportunities for the most vulnerable fishermen and target rowing and engine boats and old fishing nets of other vulnerable fishermen. Cash for work activity will be implemented according to operational Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs) developed by PUI and its national partners in the context of COVID 19. These SoPs will apply also for the implementation of the different activities including the distribution of aid/cash to targeted beneficiaries. Please see annex: Operational SoPs. PUI has closely coordinated the planned Action with FSS, the Ministry of agriculture and key stakeholders working in the ARA notably through the Access Restricted Areas working group co-chaired by PUI and FSS. PUI co-developed the action on the added value of its national partners and will facilitate the coordination, supervise the implementation and MEAL process.

The project will target three groups of acutely vulnerable households 1) vulnerable households from the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) Social Safety Net (SSN)’s additional unserved waiting list from Middle Area, Khan Younis and Rafah, 2) farmers and breeders from Khan Younis Access Restricted Area (ARA), and 3) fishers from Khan Younis. Through this project, Mercy Corps and its local NGO partner Foukhary Association for Country Development will target 317 vulnerable households (1,807 individuals), including 167 SSN households with limited economic opportunities from Middle Area, Khan Younis and Rafah, 100 vulnerable farmers and breeder from Khan Younis ARA, and 50 vulnerable fishers from Khan Younis. Mercy Corps will distribute cash assistance to each household in monthly installments: Highly vulnerable SSN households will receive $ 1,016 over a period of four months ($ 254 monthly installment) Eligible vulnerable farmer and breeder households will receive an average amount $1,200 in three installments, according to their specific individual needs. Eligible vulnerable fisher households will receive an average amount $1,002 in three installments, according to their specific individual needs. This urgent cash support will allow vulnerable households to have a flexible, reliable, and timely financial support to address their urgent needs, restore their livelihoods, build resilience and improve agriculture and fishery production capacity. By utilizing cash as a modality for direct assistance, beneficiaries have greater power in determining how to meet their own urgent needs, empowering beneficiaries and maintaining their dignity while reducing their vulnerability and contributing to the restoration of their food security. Additionally, in the Gaza Strip, local markets are functional and vendors continue to have adequate stock available therefore, cash assistance to vulnerable households is an appropriate humanitarian response modality to meet critical basic needs. Through well-established evidence-based vulnerability and technical targeting, Mercy Corps, in partnership with Al Foukhary Association for Country Development will use Proxy Means Test Formula (PMTF), and Technical Criteria to identify, assess and verify selected vulnerable households to receive cash assistance, monitor activities, and ensure full coordination and engagement with Ministry of Social Development, Ministry of Agriculture, the community and all relevant stakeholders. Additionally, Mercy Corps will promote community ownership, accountability, and participation throughout the project life through baseline assessments, orientation sessions, Post Distribution Monitoring, Community Accountability and Reporting Mechanism (CARM), while also mobilizing key stakeholders to more deeply engage with identified vulnerable households.

Oxfam, in partnership with MA’AN, ESDC and LRC will respond to the identified needs as a consortium to support farmers to improve their access to essential productive inputs and enhance their agricultural lands’ production capacities. Farmers in the Jordan Valley are persistently at risk of settler and Israeli forces violence, and are living in areas under the threat of Israeli annexation. The consortium will provide this support through rehabilitating of agricultural roads and water carrier lines for farmers in particularly those have been affected by the recent storms. The project was designed in line with the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) Food Security Sector (FSS) priorities, and based on the recently conducted rapid needs assessments (RNAs) of communities in the Jordan Valley, conducted by MA’AN, LRC and ESDC, early March 2020. The assessments were based on a number of key Informant Interviews (KIIs) with men and women community representatives and farmers . The proposed project will prioritize women headed households where possible, considering the nature of the targeted communities. In addition, as part of providing vulnerable farmers with the means to protect their livelihoods and empower them to be autonomous and resilient, the project will provide legal support and legal awareness to all beneficiaries and communities targeted in the project. Oxfam signed the Grand Bargain in February 2017 and remains committed to the agreement. Grand Bargain discussions – at national, regional, and global levels – have created a new and sustained momentum in addressing significant issues in the humanitarian architecture. Oxfam in OPTI has achieved significant progress toward its commitments on Local Humanitarian Leadership (LHL) where long term partnerships (beyond project-based arrangements) have developed with the three partners in the West Bank. Oxfam in OPT is a rare voice on local humanitarian leadership in Palestine illustrated in Oxfam’s programme approach which works extensively with local NGOs in OPT, including Gaza and the West Bank. Exemplifying this, Oxfam is submitting this proposal together with the three local organizations (MAAN, ESDC and LRC), building on the relationship and positive partnering experiences established collectively with them since 2018. During the proposed action, Oxfam will follow established ways of working to ensure delivering its commitments. Representation of local partners and local authorities (MoA), who have participated since the project’s design stage, will be maintained during the entire period of the project. MoA and the relevant agriculture directorate and municipal councils will participate in the implementation of the action. Oxfam will ensure that concrete consultation and feedback mechanisms are also adopted during the implementation period.OXFAM NovibOXFAM Novib Economic Social Development Center ESDCLand Research CenterMAAN Development CenteroPt Humanitarian FundMohammed AmmarSaving Lives Programme Manager0595997570Mohammed.Ammar@oxfam.org Najla ShawaFood Security Vulnerable Livelihoods Manager0599587210Najla.Shawa@oxfam.org Shane StevensonCountry Director0546703548Shane.Stevenson@oxfam.org Arda BatarsehBusiness Development Manager0592934008Arda.Batarseh@oxfam.org Mazen MallahBusiness Development Officer0599800201Mazen.Mallah@oxfam.org West Bank31.98598100 35.29994700Food Security300000.07300000.07oPt Humanitarian FundOXFAM Novib59896.54oPt Humanitarian FundOXFAM Novib240000.06oPt Humanitarian FundOXFAM NovibXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-20/DDA-3482/SA1/FSL/NGO/15466United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe critical situation that people are living under in OPT including Jordan Valley and area C, and the escalation caused by Israelis increased the vicious acts on the area, In addition to that the annexation of Palestinian lands in the Jordan Valley .This has resulted in worsening the Palestinian living conditions and standards. Continuous demolition of the infrastructure (water pipes, roads, etc), limited accessibility and utilization of natural resources. All these aggression and violation deteriorates life in Tubas governorate and the surrounding villages. The project aims at enhancing the resilience of 182 HH benefiting 834 individuals divided as (Men 233, women 224, boys 193, girls 184) in 2 locations at Tubas governorates in Jordan Valley. The project activities will also respond to the different humanitarian needs of the most vulnerable farmers (women and men), to improve their living conditions by increasing the productivity of their agriculture lands, where women HH will be given priority. The main activities of the project are: Activity 1: Installing 2.5 km of water pipelines in Khirbet 'Atuf and Al-rasalahmar., benefiting 38 farmers and their families serving 250 dunums. The installing will Include, main, sub main metallic pipes, valves, wielding.. etc Activity 2: Rehabilitation of water tank of 800 cubic meter (reservoir) in Khirbet 'Atuf benefiting 80 farmers serving 800 dunums of agricultural lands. This rehabilitation will include replacement of internal balloon, reinforcement of side wall, net etc) Activity 3: Rehabilitation of 3.2 Km of Agricultural roads in Khirbet 'Atuf, Khirbet ar Ras al Ahmar benefiting 64 farmers and their families including (base course, culvert, leveling, side protection) this will serve 640 dunums of agricultural land The project activities are reconsidered due to the spread of COVID-19 in the Palestinian territories. This has resulted in coordination with the relevant stakeholders in the area OXFAM amp their partners in addition to MoA to avoid duplication of work, accordingly PARC has decided to work in Tubas particularly in Khirbet 'Atuf and Khirbet ar Ras al Ahmar. Once the project is approved, there will be inception phase where a series of actions will be made. Firstly, PARC will coordinate with the MoA, FFS, other key stakeholders, then will announce the project to the community and establish local committee (one committee per 2 locations). These committees will consist of a representative from village/municipality council CBOs/cooperatives, and related ministries (MoA).PARC will ensure that the committees are gender balanced. These Committees will participate and steer the project in order to ensure: Formalize the participation of representatives of the Local Council and local community organizations –social accountability and strengthening relations with the community and the targeted population. Secondly, developing a selection criteria drafted by PARC team and approved by the committees, application distribution, then selecting the end beneficiaries based on a scoring system to choose the end beneficiaries, where open competition for men and women based on vulnerability criteria (close to settlement, wall, and subjected to violation by settlers, poor families, affected by recent weather depression...etc) will be approved by the committees. Thirdly, tendering and contracting process according to the defined Bill of Quantities, with open competition. Fourth, implementation through daily follow-up and ensuring quality of works and services, in participation with local committee.

Gaza under its 12 years’ blockade and protracted crises, its health care system facing many serious challenges, such as: lack of medicines (especially essential medications) an energy crisis salary cut crises Palestinian internal divisions as well as other conflict related problems that have overburdened the system to which we add the recent global COVID 19 pandemic emergency. All these realities have led to a long waiting list that reached 9,000 persons in elective surgeries especially Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) that has reached 4,000 patients who can't afford them in the private sector nor wait without their health conditions worsening. To respond to this need, Al Ahli Hospital (AAH) in Gaza has proven capacities as a surgical hospital with a high reputation in safe surgical management. It has operated as a surgical hospital for 140 years and has been an implementing partner for two previous Country Based Pooled Fund (CBPF) projects either in elective surgeries, trauma management and limb reconstruction. Therefore, AAH with the support of Augusta Victoria Hospital (AVH) operated by the Lutheran World Federation (LWF), found it crucial to support vulnerable women, men, boys and girls who are now on the waiting list of the Ministry of Health (MoH). Coordination was done with MoH to conduct 2,350 surgeries. 1,750 will be ENT. The rest are advanced Minimally Invasive Surgeries (MIS), general surgery, orthopedic and gynecology. AVH will also develop AAH’s capacity in Infection Prevention Control (IPC) and rational uses of antibiotics, especially with Palestine's current COVID 19 emergency situation. AVH will train 30 staff from AAH either through coaching, mentoring and onsite demonstrations. AVH is aiming to visit AAH 3 times, the 1st for follow up visit/training and another 2 visits for follow up. LWF has strong financial, monitoring and accountability systems in place and adheres to policies ensuring sustainable quality programming, such as the Code of Conduct, Child Protection, Core Humanitarian Standards, Gender Justice and Complaints Response Mechanism (CRM) all to be shared with AAH. Furthermore, AAH will work with Handicap International to develop a checklist to determine the People With Disabilities (PWD), to track and report on them. GBV cases will be referred to specialized centers to address this issue. Scenario risk analysis was done based on previous experiences and similar projects and based on the new proposed COVID 19 possible scenarios as mitigations were planned such as remote management with AVH. Coordination with MoH, the Health Cluster (HC), Women’s Centers, the Union of Health Work Committees (UHWC) for complementarity and referrals are well defined in the project. Regarding finance and procurement, AAH has implemented successfully USAID projects, CBPF projects and followed either USAID or OCHA guidelines and has a strong PMER (planning, monitoring, evaluating, reporting) system in place. This project links to Obj. 2: The basic needs of vulnerable Palestinians living under occupation are met through the provision of quality basic services and improved access to resources, in accordance with the rights of protected persons under IHL. The project is aligned with the Gaza segment under "Health" targeting "Deployment of medical teams to conduct surgeries, to reduce the need for referrals outside of Gaza and reduce the waiting period for patients in need for treatment" (1st Std. Alloc. Strat. 2020, p. 3) The project is aligned with HC Obj. 2: "Ensure the availability, accessibility, acceptability, and quality of essential lifesaving health services to vulnerable communities in Gaza amp West Bank/EJ, incl. through health system strengthening, preparedness and community resilience buLutheran World federationLutheran World federationAl Ahli hospital oPt Humanitarian FundUnited Nations OCHA Financial Tracking Service (UN OCHA FTS)Sieglinde WeinbrennerCountry Representative97226282289sieglinde.weinbrenner@lutheranworld.orgGaza Strip31.35644200 34.32704700HealthOccupied Palestinian Territory Humanitarian Response Plan 2020266187.01155082.86421269.87oPt Humanitarian FundLutheran World federation168507.95oPt Humanitarian FundLutheran World federation126380.96oPt Humanitarian FundLutheran World federation126380.96oPt Humanitarian FundLutheran World federationXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-20/DDA-3482/SA1/HNC/NGO/15422United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe idea of the project is to provide surgical services to patients on the waiting lists at the MoH, this idea meets the HC Obj. 2 related to SO # 1amp the 1st and 2nd HRP SO in addition to the 1st allocation obj., adding to HNO 2020. Statistics of MoH 2020 indicated that 6759 patients are registered on the waiting list. The project aims to conduct 1474 electives surgeries targeting women, men, girls, boys, elderly amp PWD from North amp South Gaza Strip (GS). The services will include medical examination, lab., radiological services, surgical operation, hospitalization amp post-op follow up. The provided surgical operations will be as follows: - 872 ENT - 183 Urology - 202 General - 217 Orthopedic 1000 minor - 305 moderate - 169 major To facilitate the access of beneficiaries from different locations in the GS, the services will be provided in 2 UHWC’s health facilities: Al-Awda Hospital–Northern GS (will conduct major, moderate and minor surgeries) amp Al Awda Health Center–Southern GS (will conduct minor surgeries only). This project is a continuation of a previous project funded by HF which targeted 827 patients from the MoH waiting lists in 2018-2019. By the implementation of this project the No. of beneficiaries from surgical op. services at UHWC’s facilities will be expanded from 4384 in 2019 to 5858 in 2020. In order to achieve the principle of coordination and complementarity, during the preparation of this proposal coordination has been done with the HC and MoH who emphasize the need and the important of this project, as well as coordination has been done with Al Ahli Arab Hospital in order to avoid any duplication in the provision of services. A partnership will be concluded through this project with the Central Blood Bank Society (CBBS) in order to provide the necessary blood units for patients to save their lives and mitigate the risks. Upon the importance of involving the local community in determining the needs amp priorities, the UHWC held 12 FGs in 2020 (Report Attached) targeting different categories of gender amp age groups. The result of these FGs indicated that there is a need for the patients who are registered on the waiting lists at MoH to undergo surgical operations in order to reduce their suffering amp prevent complications. Another 10 FGs meetings will be held to monitor amp evaluate the project services at the mid amp end of the project. While 100 questionnaires will be distributed to the beneficiaries to measure their satisfaction. This feedback will be used as direction to design future interventions. To achieve the principle of protection, the project will target different age groups, including boys, girls, men amp women, as well as elderly amp PWD without discrimination. To respond to gender needs, medical staff of both sexes (M amp F) will be available. Moreover, pediatric surgeons will be available to respond to the age needs. To meet the principle of (DO No Harm), the cases will be targeted upon the list that will be sent by the MoH, where the project will ensure that the beneficiaries are not harmed during the provision of the services, by providing quality health services under the supervision of highly qualified specialists. To achieve the highest level of Do No Harm, a training course will be held for 12 persons from the medical staff in order to train them on the Sphere Standards related to health services amp the principle of Do No Harm. To reach accurate amp easily accessible information, HIS system is in place and used at all UHWC facilities. The project will be documented through photography amp audio-visual report taking into consideration the dignity amp privacy of patients.Al Awda Health and Community AssociationAl Awda Health and Community AssociationCentral blood bank societyoPt Humanitarian FundJehan Al AkloukProjects Manager00972-599731994jehan.uhwc@gmail.comGaza Strip31.35644200 34.32704700Health338027.16166242.87504270.03oPt Humanitarian FundAl Awda Health and Community Association201708.01oPt Humanitarian FundAl Awda Health and Community Association302562.02oPt Humanitarian FundAl Awda Health and Community AssociationXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-20/DDA-3482/SA1/HNC/NGO/15476United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe old city of Hebron is considered one of the most struggling areas in the West Bank due to the settler’s violence, and the Israeli occupation practices, policies of closures, and movement restrictions due to the large number of military checkpoints and repetitive closures which hinders the ability of these communities to reach out for health services outside the old city of Hebron(H2). The proposed 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) assessed through HWC’s team in cooperation with the H2 area CBOs and local committees with special focus on the health needs of the vulnerable closed communities, in addition to analyzing secondary data review published by others. HWC’s Hebron Emergency Center is one of the main health facilities in H2 area since 2001 providing L2 primary and secondary health services including emergency room services, general medicine, specialty clinics and woman health services (SRH and GBV services), In addition to other supportive diagnostic services such as laboratory and X-ray.The project overall objective is to contribute to the promotion of equitable access to essential and quality health services to communities in the old city of Hebron(H2).This will be accomplished through two specific objectives.(1)To increase the capacity of Hebron Emergency Center to provide essential health services to marginalized population in the old city of Hebron and essential rehabilitation services to PwD. The capacity of the Hebron Emergency Center of HWC to provide L2 primary and secondary health services and rehabilitation services to PwD wiil be increased increased through (1.1) providing the Hebron Emergency Center with basic medications, medical disposables, lab supplies and medical equipment.(1.2)Providing Hebron Emergency Center with adaptive reconstruction and repair work to host the Rehabilitation Unit for PwD to increase its capasity to provide quality rehabilitation services for PwD (2) To increase the access of H2 residents to L-2 primary and secondary health services through women’s health program service (SRH,and GBV services, chronic disease services, mental health, rehabilitation services for PwD, emergency services through HWC Hebron Emergency center and medical supplies and lifesaving drugs are accessed through Hebron Emergency Center and HWC mobile team.

We intend to do this by perpetuating our ethos and efforts with respect to focusing on prevention within our most vulnerable communities with the delivery of exemplary primary healthcare, with a focus on holistic health and a psycho-social model of care as the foundation of all our healthcare. In addition, in taking a completely collaborative approach with the view to ensuring long term sustainable impact is achieved, we endeavor to focus on activities that will further strengthen our overall health system, prepare and equip our communities through education and resilience building and ensure an overall inclusive strategy is implemented. We intend to achieve this in three of PMRS’ key strategic areas for our work in H2 in the next 10-12 months. These include: -Expanding and strengthening our primary health care in two key areas: Mobile outreach for remote or cut off communities such as H2 -Ensuring women and youth have access to SRH and SRHR in addition to effective and relevant health services. This involves our education and awareness sessions with women with respect to GBV topics. -MHPSS which in turn will ensure an engaged, resilient and prepared community through our various initiatives. These objectives will be addressed with the following activities 1. Ensuring all our mobile outreach teams in the H2 and Hebron area are sufficiently stocked and prepared with necessary equipment and requisite teams which consist of a multidisciplinary team including Doctors, nurses, MHPSS care team practitioners. Incorporated in our mobile outreach clinic practice is general screening and follow up for non-communicable diseases i.e. diabetes, hypertension etc. Women’s health and SRH with pre and post-natal checks, screening including breast checks, PND and GBV related screening and support. Furthermore, more recently, our mobile outreach have expanded to include activities and support for PWD and families with PWD as well as MHPSS services and screening. In addition, in light of our most up to date research with UNFPA, we are working to strengthen our services with respect to SRH and SRHR to ensure women’s needs are being addressed in this area. Lastly, we work with individuals to ensure our PWD demographic is being catered to and included and that importantly they don’t just have access to existing services, that our services are also sensitive and specific to their needs. Importantly, with respect to health care services in H2 and Hebron, accessibility is a key issue for those living in this area and it is imperative that we address the inherent issues due to occupation and a restrictive permit system enforced by the IOF. Accessibility is a fundamental component of the right to access healthcare.

The findings of the Humanitarian Situation Assessment report in the H2 area, presented that the living conditions of Palestinians in H2 area , mainly in the closed military zone, have deteriorated during 2019, following an increase in settler attacks and harassment, constituting a key component of the aggressive and stressful environment. In addition to regular frictions and clashes with Israeli military forces, affecting primarily schoolchildren. In this deteriorating context, 10 percent of children dropped out of school, and 70 percent of children lack access to extracurricular activities. Access to health services in the affected areas of H2, including in situations of emergency, has long been hampered by movement restrictions, and indirectly by the deterioration of the residents’ economic situation. People with mobility impediments who require regular medical treatment or rehabilitation, such as Persons with Disabilities or the elderly, are particularly impacted. They have to walk significant distances and cross a checkpoint to access transportation to the medical centers. Under the access restrictions in place, the health conditions of these vulnerable communities could be at higher risk in case of the outbreak of the COVID 19 viral infection in the surrounding areas of H2. The longstanding access restrictions and closure orders have devastated the commercial life in this area, depriving thousands of families of their source of livelihood. According to the Hebron municipality, 512 Palestinian businesses in the affected areas of H2 have been closed by military order, and more than 1,000 others have shut down due to restricted access for customers and suppliers. The deteriorated economic situation in H2 area has affected the population`s food consumption levels. This is a consistent to trend in the poorest areas of the West Bank, where food insecurity is driven by high unemployment and poverty and not by the lack of food in the market. Referring to the Humanitarian report in H2, 98 percent of the households surveyed indicated that they had to adopt some type of coping mechanism to deal with food insecurity, primarily the consumption of food of reduced quantity and less quality and skip daily meals. In this context of deteriorating socio-economic and protection conditions, poor and food insecure pregnant and lactating women and children under five years old, who have special nutritional needs, are among the most vulnerable groups. Their existing hardships have exacerbated with additional massive movement and access due to the COVID 19 outbreak in the West Bank, impacting their food security and nutrition status . Movement restrictions and home quarantine forced Palestinian residents to stop going to their work in the oPt and in Israel. The lack of income could push vulnerable households to resort to coping strategies which will negatively impact their food security and nutrition status. Women are normally the first to be affected by lack of food in the house as food is diverted to the children or to the males in their families. To ensure access to nutritious food and increase the awareness of the most vulnerable groups in H2 area in Hebron City, this proposal focuses on supporting the food needs of 1,000 pregnant and lactating women and children under five years, facing deep poverty and food-insecurity. WFP will provide complementary food assistance (USD 10 per capita) on a monthly basis to mitigate the impact of people's reduced purchasing power and increased use of negative coping mechanisms. In order to synergize the efforts and have a comprehensive Maternal Infant Young Child -Emergency project, WFP in partnership with local NGO, potentially the Palestinian Medical Relief Society (PMRS), will target the same number of mothers (1,000) for nutrition awareness and behavior change activities, in addition to 100 men and 500 school childrenWorld Food ProgrammeWorld Food ProgrammeMinistry of Social DevelopmentoPt Humanitarian FundUnited Nations OCHA Financial Tracking Service (UN OCHA FTS)Stephen Kearney Representative and Country Director0546773151stephen.kearney@wfp.orgWest Bank31.98598100 35.29994700HealthOccupied Palestinian Territory Humanitarian Response Plan 2020128045.7871991.40200037.18oPt Humanitarian FundWorld Food Programme200037.18oPt Humanitarian FundWorld Food Programme0.36World Food ProgrammeUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-20/DDA-3482/SA1/PROT/NGO/15303United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe project objective is “Improved protection and respect of rights of most vulnerable womengt18-59 and gt59 years and girls 14-17 years including GBV survivors with disabilities, chronically ill and women with breast cancer (WWBC), and increased their access to coordinated multisectoral specialized responses based on IHL and IHRL.” WAC partners with RCS4GS and WEFAQ to ensure geographical coverage and synergy/complementarity in providing GBV multisectoral services and to make incremental changes in situation of women and girls, community and duty bearers as reflected in project outcomes:1.

The project will be implemented in coordination and cooperation with two active CBOs working inside H2 ( Ishraka ) which is part of the health Working Committee and Shark organization . This project seek to achieve this outcome {:” The capacity of vulnerable women and children SGBV to cope with and overcome protracted crisis are increased}. The project planned to reach 200 child including children with disablity who are vulnerable to GBV and other harmful practices , and 815 women and girls survivors or vulnerable to GBV including wampgwd. In planning the activities of this project we put into consideration the effect of the current crises related to COVID 19 which led to increase the cases of domestic violence , we considered these two concerns : 1- With isolation quarantine measures increasing stress at household level , is likely to achieve higher risk of domestic violence 2- With the deterioration of the economic situation , many men and women workers with daily wage has lost their main income , increasing their poverty , and leading to heightened GBV risks in household. Despite COVID 19 did not spread in Hebron area , but the close of schools and universities ,and other measures link with the emergency in addition to the violations from the Israeli soldiers and settlers will contribute to double the suffering of women and children in H2 The project will implement the following activities : 1- MHPSS for GBV survivors . 2- Legal aid ( individual consultation , representation and legal awareness for women SGBV) 3- Provide economic enablement for 70 women headed families in H2 , including women and girls with disablity 4- Providing awareness raising to GBV service providers.

The project will target women amp girls according to the multi-sectorial services approach where the provision of sexual amp reproductive health services (SRHS) will be an entry point for detection of GBV cases, this in addition to strengthening psychological amp social support for women amp girls by providing individual psychological, social amp legal counseling, which is characterized by privacy, confidentiality, amp safety, in addition to implementation of open days amp trips for psychological debriefing. Referral services upon SOPs referral pathway will be provided in order to obtain advanced services through cooperation with specialized NGOs in legal amp MHPSS. The project will also apply the theory of change with beneficiaries (males and females) by targeting men and boys as they are considered to be those responsible for the domestic violence, through the implementation of series of awareness sessions about women's rights, GBV amp protection mechanisms, for the same group in order to build cumulative knowledge, concepts, skills, attitudes and behaviors of target groups. To ensure the principle of accessibility amp availability of services for beneficiaries, transportation will be provided for the participants in the workshops, amp vulnerable women amp girls to access to multi sectorial services. The project will also include home visits in ARAs for women amp girls who couldn’t access the center for different reasons. Based on the importance of community participation, the community will be involved in all the project stages starting by the need assessment, design amp formulation of the project, planning, implementation and MampE. All these will insure accountability amp transparency to the targeted beneficiaries, this will come through the implementation of focus groups discussion in the middle of the project which will target 40 beneficiaries of women, girls, men amp boys to participate in monitoring the provided services where modification of the intervention may take place if needed. 50 Satisfaction questionnaires will be distributed to measure the beneficiaries’ satisfaction, it will be distributed all over the project life cycle in order to improve the quality of the services. 2 accountability sessions will be implemented at the end of the project to evaluate the interventions, document good practices amp document lessons learned to take them into consideration in future interventions, while noting that 38 women, girls, men amp boys participated in the project design through 3 focus groups which studied their needs amp priorities in eastern Khan Younis. In the project we couldn’t neglect the hard circumstances related to COVID19, as Gaza Strip nowadays works hard to prevent amp limit the dissemination of Coronavirus, so within this intervention, it will include the distribution of hygiene kits, these kits will be distributed to the most vulnerable groups including people with disabilities, amp elderly women, in addition to conducting radio spot targeting the local community to raise awareness of the mechanisms to prevent Coronavirus. The quality of all previous interventions will be ensured by building the capacity of the project staff through conducting training course on SOPs amp referral pathway. It should be noted that the project will ensure accurate documentation of all interventions through GBV data collection sheet, field follow-up of the work site amp periodic meetings with the project staff, and due to our belief in the importance of coordination amp strengthening mechanisms for documenting amp sharing information, coordination will take place with GBV/SC amp the Protection Cluster by attending the meetings regularly in order to share experiences amp information about the interventions with all other members.

This intervention aligns with the 2020 oPt Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) through the project submitted by AAH in partnership with the Rural Center for Sustainable Development (RCSD) (reference HPSE20-6-159674-1). The most vulnerable communities of the Jordan Valley will be the main focus of this intervention in particular the communities of Al Mu'arrajat East, Ibziq, Khirbet Yarza, Khirbet 'Atuf, and Khirbet ar Ras al Ahmar, extremely exposed to protection threats including Israeli administrative (demolitions) and military (firing) constraints and forcible transfers. These communities also suffer from severe weather conditions. Vulnerable families’ access to safe, adequate and healthy shelter spaces will be improved through the project activities, ensuring protection and dignity for family members. Households including one or more family member(s) with a disability will also be of specific focus their vulnerability is twofold as they deal with protection and social concerns daily. They are affected by limited access to basic services (including water, electricity, education, health care), while also suffering from socio-economic problems such as stigmatization and limited livelihood opportunities associated with the disability of one or more family member(s). Female-headed households will also be prioritized based on their vulnerability, using the material assistance ranking tool which will play an integral part in the selection of beneficiaries and design of project activities. To improve the living conditions of targeted communities, project activities will span over 10 months and will be articulated around a)the upgrading/rehabilitation of 33 shelters for vulnerable and marginalized families living in communities in Jordan Valley Area C, including household adaptation for people with disabilities (PWDs), and b)the provision of 15 tents to Tubas Governorate for temporary shelter for displaced people, protecting the displaced families in periods of Israeli military trainings in these areas. AAH and RCSD have extensive experience in shelter projects and a strong understanding of the current protection and legal concerns of Area C and Jordan Valley communities. Both organizations will ensure protection mainstreaming and risk mitigation by employing a low-profile approach in rehabilitating structures from the inside and will select adequate working times to avoid exposure and prevent harm to the beneficiaries and communities. The partners will ensure that targeted communities are actively engaged in different phases of the project to foster a community-based approach through direct implementation methodology whereby beneficiaries will be supported with in-kind and cash-based assistance to rehabilitate their own shelter, increasing ownership and self-awareness of rights. Prior to the construction works, the selected households will be informed on their rights and potential risks involved with shelter rehabilitation as well as on land and property issues. The beneficiaries’ consent to all proposed project activities will be sought. The proposed intervention is time sensitive for the targeted households, as these families may not be able to conduct maintenance and/or afford another summer and winter within their existing shelter conditions. The unsafe, insalubrious and uncomfortable situations these families experience daily create a destructive environment, affecting their resilience and eroding their capacities. This emergency response will provide much needed support to the targeted families through providing healthy and sturdy shelters, decreasing their exposure and vulnerability to enable them to withstand deteriorating living conditions.

It consists on a tailored package of interventions involving the rehabilitation of shelters for households exposed to and affected by natural or man-made hazards The action includes the rehabilitation and/or upgrading of 63 shelters reducing the exposure of targeted beneficiaries to both man-made and natural disasters, weather conditions, risk of water borne diseases and health problems. Specifically: in Jericho community the action consists of transferring the targeted shelters, made of un-protected wood, zinc and tent covers, to block with isolated roof in Tubas and Ramallah communities, will be rehabilitated the existing tents through floor casting, building a perimeter of 1m walls and, for families with PWDs, the rehabilitation of the tents’ surroundings. Further, in Jordan valley communities, the action intends to assist households who lack shelter protective materials providing the needed fencing and rehabilitating PWDs’ access to the shelters, contributing to reduce the risk of settlers’ and IF’s violence and mitigating the effects, vulnerabilities and risks associated with living in Jordan Valley communities, especially for elderly and people with disabilities. The action, is fully in line with the 2020 HRP Strategic Objective 2 and 3, addressing the West Bank’s purposes of the allocation strategy. The activities contribute to the Shelter Cluster Objective 1 and 2 – the basic needs of vulnerable Palestinians living under occupation are met through the provision of quality basic services and improved access to resources, displaced populations are provided support that mitigates immediate harm and ensures adequate and safe temporary shelter solutions, through the rehabilitation of substandard housing units, the provision of coaching/training for shelter rehabilitation through the community implementation approach (self-conducted HHs rehabilitation), and the provision of protective material assistance. The intervention complies with the minimum shelter cluster standards for adequate housing, gender, and adequate access to housing by people with disabilities. Specifically, the proposed activities consist in a full rehabilitation and/or upgrading of concrete and stones shelters, in WASH works, and provision of technical coaching/training for shelter rehabilitation. Providing adequate shelters will contribute to dignity and safety of beneficiaries, reducing the risk of IF violence and mitigating the effects of eviction on the affected families, vulnerabilities and risks associated with living under the threat of annexation for their communities. These activities will also support communities’ resilience in face of protracted threats, chronic vulnerability and eviction threats. Shelter rehabilitation and upgrading activities, coupled with the implementation of a community participation methodology, will allow to advance in the fulfillment of the objectives, empowering communities in terms of coping capacities, ownership and expertise, and protection response mechanisms. The 9 selected communities are located in 3 Governorates: Tubas, Ramallah and Jericho. The community in Ramallah is close to Jericho and people go to Jericho most of the services The leading agency of the action is WW–GVC, in partnership with Palestinian Housing Council PHC: two NGOs complementing each-other experiences. WW-GVC has offices in Tubas and Ramallah while PHC has offices in Nablus and Ramallah therefore ensuring a constant and close activity follow-up, WW-GVC is responsible to transfer protection knowledge in rehabilitation to PHC.

The project is part of the oPt Humanitarian Response Plan for 2020 and focuses particularly on the second strategic objective “The basic needs of vulnerable Palestinians living under occupation are met through the provision of quality basic services and improved access to resources, in accordance with the rights of protected persons under IHL”. In line with the first objective of the HF 2020 1st Standard Allocation, the project fully supports the implementation of the Hebron ICCG Plan in the West Bank. In fact, it is in line with the WASH Cluster first strategic objective: “Ensure equitable, affordable and sustainable access to safe and sufficient WASH services with dignity for the unserved, underserved and most vulnerable Palestinians living under occupation in Gaza and the West Bank”. This proposition is based on ACTED assessments, extensive consultations with the Ministry of Health (MoH) in Hebron and other key stakeholders including OCHA’s Head of South Office and the partner Health Work Committees (HWC), a Palestinian non-profit organization with extensive experience in providing health and protection services in H2. The proposition follows the recommendations of WASH Cluster and oPt Covid-19 Response Plan as it will contribute to prevent further transmission of COVID-19 in the oPt as well as mitigate the worst effects of the pandemic. The needs assessed in terms of accessibility, acceptability and quality of healthcare in H2 have been confirmed as still valid and unmet in 2020 by the Health Work Committees (HWC). New needs, identified and assessed by ACTED in 2020, have seriously emerged in terms of rehabilitation of WASH facilities inside the target health care facilities. Through this project, key sanitation facilities will be rehabilitated in line with SPHERE standards within 4 main healthcare centers, and 21 staff of the 7 health care facilities in H2 will be trained online to ensure the facilities are properly operated and maintained. In addition, the project will provide all the 7 health care facilities operating in H2 with hand-washing stations and cleaning, hygiene and protection kits in coordination with MoH and based on their needs and specifications. Finally, ACTED and HWC will raise awareness on hygiene and COVID-19 related topics and will distribute hygiene kits to 500 vulnerable households (2,400 individuals) in H2.

Under that project, HA will deliver 3 month’s supply of chlorine to all water wells, reservoirs and desalination plants in Gaza. As a short-term support, the project aimed to temporarily provide chlorine and support essential maintenance of pre-identified water wells, until CMWU receives additional support for the remaining year. However, the current provision for chlorine delivery will exhaust by the end of June 2020, with no commitment or pledges in the horizon to support this critical activity. To address this, the proposed project aims to extend chlorine delivery for an additional 3 months i.e. July to September 2020. This will enable continuity of support to CMWU to improve collection and allow more time to secure financial resources to cover the cost of chlorine for the remaining year. This activity is critical at a time when WHO considers oPt as a high-risk country/region for COVID-19 epidemic outbreak, especially with 48 confirmed cases in the West Bank and hundreds in Gaza quarantined under precaution. Furthermore, the proposed project is in line with WASH Cluster's Objective 1 amp 2 Strategic HRP Objective 2) The basic needs of vulnerable Palestinians living under occupation are met through the provision of quality basic services and improved access to resources and Sustainable Development Goal 6) Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. The project aims to support the entire population of the Gaza Strip i.e. 2,047,969 individuals with access to safe water for drinking amp domestic use, and reducing the risk of outbreaks of water-borne diseases in Gaza by biological contamination. This includes 44.1% children, % 27.7women, 28.2% men and 7% PWD (PCBS, 2020). Although the project does not directly respond to the distinct needs of women, men, or elderly the services provided will ensure everyone has equal and meaningful access to safe drinking and domestic water regardless of their age, gender or disability. Key interventions will include: - Conducting critical maintenance works for 11 essential water wells, including: 4 wells in the north, 4 wells in the Middle Area, 2 wells in Khan Younis and 1 well in Rafah - Distribution of 200 Hygiene Kits for WASH Facilities Technical staff, to ensure protection and safety of all field staff working on site - Strengthen preparedness and response by rehabilitation of Abu Rashid Storm-water Basin in northern Gaza to minimize risk of flooding. - Ensuring over 99% disinfection efficiency of all water distribution system in the Gaza Strip through provision of chlorine to cover 288 water wells, 55 water reservoirs, 26 water lifting and booster stations, over 2,987 km of water networks and carrier lines, 48 small-medium sized brackish water desalination plants (50m3/day to 1000m3/day), and three connections of Mekorot water supply across the Green Line with Israel with average total annual supply capacity of 10MCM. - Carry out regular and consistent water quality testing for 3 months Samples from 580 locations across the Gaza Strip will be tested monthly for monitoring water quality and/or residual chlorine level to ensure safe water delivery to beneficiaries. All test results will be logged into the monitoring database to inform actions required for water safety plans. This project aims to fill in short-term funding gap by providing chlorine amp essential maintenance to pre-identified water wells. After 3 months, CMWU will be responsible for mobilising resources and collection mechanisms to cover the cost of chlorine for the remaining year. Carrying out critical preventive and corrective maintenance of essential WASH facilities will increase the lifespan of WASH facilities amp improve service delivery on the mid-term and possibly longer-term.

The proposed action aims to improve sustainable access to quality basic WASH services and improved access to resources by maintaining minimum operations of public WASH facilities in the Gaza Strip. The intervention will address the consequences of the ongoing blockade’s impact on the WASH sector and its effect on the operational capacity of the main operator of public WASH facilities in the Gaza strip through the rehabilitation and maintenance of critical WASH facilities. This action is an immediate response to ensure that girls, boys, women, men, elderly and people with disabilities have sufficient means to respond to their WASH related needs by ensuring sustainable access to quality basic WASH services which will mitigate and control waterborne diseases constantly affecting children under five years in targeted areas. The main objective of the project is to contribute to strengthening the capacity of the humanitarian WASH system and efficient delivery of humanitarian WASH assistance to the vulnerable population threatened by the ongoing protracted crisis in Gaza. The specific objective is to enhance timely, equitable and dignified direct access of basic WASH services for 128,000 individuals living in vulnerable and under-served communities in Gaza. Oxfam and PEF will rehabilitate 9 deteriorated critical WASH facilities that are expected to suddenly collapse if they are not immediately rehabilitated and if maintenance works are not conducted. The rehabilitation will include 3 public sewage pumping and post treatment stations, 6 public water wells and one water well destroyed in Rafah during the last escalation in January 2020. The rehabilitation and maintenance work of the water wells will include electro-mechanical maintenance and repair works, replacement of deteriorated fittings, discharge of the water head, reinforcement of the concrete base, steel pipes for the manifold, maintenance of water-cooling units and the dosing pumps, replacement of the impellers and drive shafts. The rehabilitation works related to pumping and post treatment stations will include electro-mechanical maintenance for submersible pumps, fittings and bar screens, replacement of deteriorated pumps, cleaning of wet pits from sludge, and mechanical and electrical repairs. Moreover, the rehabilitation and maintenance works will be accompanied with community engagement activities to raise awareness and to ensure that communities' feedback and recommendations are considered during the implementation of the proposed project. The proposed project will positively impact WASH services at the household (HH) level in targeted communities since it will enhance water storage capacity and improve the quality of sanitation services. It will also contribute to alleviating the burden on women and children by managing care duties and household chores more effectively, including enhancing their engagement in decision making processes at the HH and community levels.

This project aims at securing access to domestic water for cooking and personal and domestic hygiene targeting the localities of Bait Hanoun, Bait Lahia, Khan yunis, and Al Shoka. According to the state of emergency declared by the Palestinian Authority after the confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the West Bank, a set of measures were recommended including mainly the applying of proper hygiene practices in order to avoid the outbreak of the disease in the oPt. In such a situation, the consequence of the malfunctioning of the domestic water wells will be catastrophic. The project is considered as an urgent intervention to address this concern. In addition, the intervention supports better preparedness for the summer season when the demand for water is significantly increased. The project will restore and maintain the services of five identified domestic water wells. In addition, the project addresses the risks of wastewater floods due to lack of repairs of pumping stations facilities that leave over 30000 people (including 7869 girls, 7626 boys, 7352 women, and 7153 men) vulnerable and unprotected from a public health hazard. The targeted localities include Rafah, Jabalia, and Bait Hanoun. The intervention should support to strengthen WASH preparedness and response capacity of vulnerable communities to sewage floods and allows urgent emergency flood mitigation and repairs in the most flood borne areas. The project will restore and maintain the services of two identified sewage pump stations. The project has been well coordinated with the CMWU and the WASH cluster. MA’AN will implement the proposed action relying on its extensive experience addressing WASH needs and key priorities in the Gaza Strip.

Aligned with the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt) Humanitarian Fund 2020 2nd Standard Allocation Strategy Paper Food Security Sector (FSS) Objective 3, the project will utilize CRS’ existing e-voucher system to ensure rapid and direct assistance to targeted households. CRS will coordinate closely with Palestinian Authority - Palestinian Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) to identify highly vulnerable households impacted by COVID-19 across all five Governorates of the Gaza Strip CRS will validate these needs and will coordinate with World Food Programme (WFP) and United Nations Relief Works Agency (UNRWA) to maximize assistance impact and avoid duplication. CRS also confirms that it will coordinate and de-duplicate with other FSS partners targeting people impacted by COVID-19. Such an approach will leverage the overall efforts of the COVID-19 response in Gaza and avoid duplications. CRS will keep the FSS coordinator involved in all such communications to assure the best collaboration among FSS partners. Working in the oPt since 1961 and with current programming in each of the five Gaza governorates, CRS’ existing staff and established policies and networks will ensure successful implementation of the proposed project. UPDATE FOR EXTENSION PERIOD STARTING 10 MAY 2021: In line with UN OCHA's reserve allocation strategy, CRS will extend the current award for three months (10 May to 10 August), at a total of $500,000 (inclusive of overhead). The extension will enable CRS to reach 1,776 additional families impacted by the COVID-19 crisis in Gaza with critically needed food assistance through its well-established e-voucher system. For these additional families, CRS will provide mixed-wallet assistance modality that includes 60% restricted voucher and 40% cash option to promote dignity of choice and ensure responsiveness to individual household preferences and needs, while delivering timely assistance in a COVID-safe manner. CRS is updating the modality based on learnings from complementary programming in Gaza.

Islamic Relief will reach the most vulnerable households that lack economic access to food with urgently needed humanitarian assistance to improve immediate access to food, through the provision of food vouchers to 1,300 HHs, 46% form Gaza North and 54% from Gaza governorate, (7,410 individuals: 2,223 men, 2,223 women, 1,482 boys, 1,482 girls) over 3 months. The exact number of HHs in each community was calculated proportional to the number of Covid-19 cases at each community. The targeted HHs will receive food support through the e-vouchers modality which give the flexibility and freedom of choices so they can prioritize food items as per their specific needs and preferences. IRPAL and the partner will prepare essential and alternative distribution plans to be used in case of any mobility restrictions for some targeted areas. Also, protective measures will be considered for the distribution places, and personnel. The project will be implemented by Islamic relief in cooperation with local partner (Gaza Culture and Development Group, GCDG) who have long experience in the field of food security, and has already conducte several projects targeting farmers, small and medium agricultural enterprises, youth, women, and other vulnerable categories in different geographical areas with particular experience in Gaza and North governorates. GCDG have implemented several projects in food security including distributing food parcels and food vouchers for orphans and poor families, funded by several partners including Welfare (Al.Taawon) Association, Danish Muslim Aid, OPEC, Bank of Palestine and others. The following is a list of key activities showing roles of each party (in brackets) - Finalize the selection of beneficiaries (IRPAL and GCDG) - Sign special amendment for the cooperation agreement with World Food Program (WFP) regarding the use the E-Vouchers system and transfer payments. (IRPAL and WFP) - Conduct rapid orientation and communication with beneficiaries and provide necessary information using the suitable tools: phones, SMS. WhatsApp, etc. (IRPAL and GCDG) - Issue three rounds of financial topping-up for E-Vouchers for 1,300 HH (avg. 70 $ per HH) for three months. (IRPAL, through WFP e-vouchers system) - Conduct post distribution monitoring (PDM) after each distribution round and issue monitoring report focusing on beneficiaries’ satisfaction (IRPAL and GCDG) - Conduct administrative and financial closure (IRPAL and GCDG) This rapid intervention will contribute and complement the efforts of IR and other humanitarian and UN actors (UNRWA and WFP) in covering the food security gap among the affected groups of labor within the informal sector, and their family member including children, elderly, people with disabilities and women. IRPAL is ready to start the implementation as soon the project agreement is signed, especially that the detailed beneficiaries’ data is available from the needs assessment, the lists of potential BNFs have already been cross-checked with MoSD, MOL, and WFP so the final list of targeted HHs will be available very soon (end of October), and also the agreement with WFP is active which includes agreements with 194 retailer shops, and also the local partners are available and already oriented.

The most affected will be the poorest and most vulnerable groups and communities will be targeted as they do not have resources to cope with the loss of jobs and incomes, the increase of food prices and the instability of food availability based on humanitarian needs overview report OPT (2020) accordingly have less ability to adapt to the crisis. OCHA COVID19 emergency report 17s stated that more people have become food-insecure amid an unprecedented economic crisis. These include, among others, daily workers. In addition to many small-scale farmers continue to be affected. This project is designed to provide quick relief aid for the most affected groups by the COVID-19 pandemic in the Gaza Strip. Specifically targeting two main groups lost their livelihood opportunity during the pandemic: First, 500 HHs of agricultural daily laborers who will be provided with 6 rounds of food parcels and personal protection equipment PPE (1 round every 3 weeks). Second, 150 farmers (120 males/female farmers and 30 female producers) who will be reached through food supplier to provide the project with required fresh food and processed foods. The food parcels will be designed to provide all necessary macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and fibers) and micronutrients (minerals and vitamins), knowing that the food items will be distributed based on necessity, availability, price and season while maintaining balanced and nutritious food assistance, knowing that each food parcel will contain at least 8 fresh food items and 19 dry/canned food items. One of the crucial concerns related to COVID19 response is the delivery of food parcels to the targeted HHs. with the maximum safety measures. PARC has developed a food distribution strategy to mitigate the infection and increase the safety as much as possible. The strategy includes the procurement process with the small-scale farmers and dried food suppliers. The process also includes the safe delivery of food to HHs. In addition, that special door to door distribution plan will be developed as follow:1) The project team with close coordination and cooperation with the local partner Community Protection committees CPCs will make sure of safe and correct delivery of baskets to targeted HHs through “door-to-door” will be formed. 2) PARC will contact a delivery company to deliver the food packages to target HHs. Finally, a guidance brochure will be distributed to target HHs to know how to deal with the plastic bags of foods and how to preserve the food to longer period of time PARC, in collaboration with PUI and UWAC, has developed standers operative procedures (SOPs) for the programmatic implementation. The SoPs are designed to provide the operational teams with guidance for the safe implementation of activities with a commitment to Infection Prevention and Control measures and an enhanced mitigation approach to risks for both staff and the Bene. In the last two months, PARC has also used the from-door-to-door modality to reach Hhs Homes to keep people's safety and social distancing measures. Noteworthy to mention that this from poor farmers to poor families program contributes to local markets stability and sustained agricultural production and production cycle of female producers as well as the stable food security levels to targeted HHs.

Closures and movement restrictions imposed by the national authorities to curb the spread of the pandemic have affected the livelihoods of thousands of Palestinians, particularly workers in the informal market with low wages. The World Bank estimated in May that due to the reduced demand caused by job losses and salary cuts, the Palestinian economy will shrink between 2.6 to 7.6 percent in 2020 compared to 2019, and even further depending on the length of the restrictive measures. In Gaza, prior to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the humanitarian situation was already dire due to 13-year blockade, entrenched internal Palestinian divisions and recurrent escalations of violence which threaten to ignite a wider conflict. With deteriorating public services such as health care, water and sanitation, a shrinking job market and a liquidity crisis, Gazan residents were already trapped in a circle of rising poverty (53%), food security (69.8%) and unemployment (45%). The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) reported that unemployment rate in Gaza has increased to 49 percent during the second quarter of 2020. In Gaza’s deteriorated security and humanitarian context, the consistent provision of WFP’s interventions has been pivotal to meeting deepening humanitarian needs, strengthen national emergency preparedness and response capacity, support common efforts to de-escalate tensions, and improve the prospects for peace. In this vein, WFP regularly provides food assistance interventions reaching 258,200 of the poorest and most food insecure non-refugees. The bulk of its assistance (223,200 people) is channeled through electronic food vouchers as the modality has proved to be an efficient catalyst to increase people`s food security status, freedom of choice, purchasing power and stimulate an ailing economy. WFP works with two implementing partners to deliver its electronic food assistance to the poorest and most food insecure non-refugee communities: the INGO Global Communities (100,000) and the Ministry of Social Development (123,200). WFP provides a monthly US$ 10.30 per individual to all targeted food voucher recipients enabling them to purchase food from 198 retailers across the Gaza Strip. WFP`s food support is more critical as the PA`s fiscal crisis and subsequent long delays in the allocation of people`s cash entitlements which has put additional strain on the ability of vulnerable communities to cope with unabated hardships and deprivations. Since May, WFP has scaled up its food voucher assistance and provided nearly 800 newly registered non-refugees who have been affected by COVID-19. The spike in the COVID-19 cases since 24 August compounded with curfews and lockdowns have further exacerbated the population`s deteriorating humanitarian and socio-economic conditions. The Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) response plan to counter the impacts of COVID-19 in the Gaza Strip estimates there are 70,000 families in need of food assistance. These new poor families are minimum wage earners who have lost their income. WFP is working with the MoSD on the list of affected non-refugee families and is finalizing necessary cross checking and validation of eligibility of families for WFP food voucher assistance. The proposal focuses on supporting the food needs of new 30,394 non-refugee affected people in the two governorates of Gaza City and North Gaza where the highest number of cases of COVID-19 have been detected. Targeted families will receive an electronic voucher card, or a digital code sent via SMS, credited with a monthly USD 10.30 per capita to purchase any type of food at local shopsWorld Food ProgrammeWorld Food ProgrammeoPt Humanitarian FundYasmine AbuelassalPartnerships Officer 054-6773170yasmin.abuelassal@wfp.orgGaza Strip31.35644200 34.32704700Food Security307863.302278188.452586051.75oPt Humanitarian FundWorld Food Programme1149866.76oPt Humanitarian FundWorld Food Programme1436184.99oPt Humanitarian FundWorld Food Programme0.64World Food ProgrammeUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-20/DDA-3482/SA2FT/HNC/INGO/17248United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThis project comes as part of the second standard allocation of the oPt’s HF fast track process to address the urgent needs of the health sector in Gaza. While the incidence rates for COVID-19 were very low in Gaza due to the strict lockdown that has been imposed by MoI and MoH on returnees the pandemic broke in the community as anticipated by health professionals since February/March when the pandemic was announced. Not to dwell much on figures (as these will be explained further in the needs assessment section) but Gaza is now suffering from a COVID-19 community outbreak. Taking the characteristics of the place, the socio-economic status of the people and the political map in the region the crisis hit Gaza hard. This all adds up to the fact that the health system has been deteriorating since more than 13 years now. The MoH and the health cluster have identified many needs to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and MOH has activated the highest level of its emergency response (level D – code Red). As such, the needs to respond effectively are growing as of the minute of writing this proposal. The health and nutrition cluster (HNC) is anticipating that there are needs of more than 31.3 million USD to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic in oPt. This project will be part of the overall coordinated response with the MoH, HNC and other organisations to respond to the most urgent health needs that are currently surfacing in relation to COVID-19 case-management through the provision of drugs for ICU COVID-19 patients, disposables, PPEs and lab materials. This project will fall under HRP Strategic Objective #3: The capacity of vulnerable Palestinians to cope with, and overcome, a protracted crisis, including from environmental threats, is supported, while solutions to violations and other root causes of threats and shocks are pursued. Will also fall under Health Cluster objective #1: Stop transmission and prevent the spread of COVID-19 And falls under the second allocation’s objective #1: support the implementation of the COVID-19 Response Plan.

The project will work on two vital aspects, the first component is to help strengthen and ensure adequate distribution of medications needed to manage respiratory complications from Covid-19 and to cover the supply of mental health medications, in addition to the provision of personal protective equipment (PPE) for health workers working with Covid-19 patients. The second component it’s related to the remote provision of mental health care and psychosocial support to confirmed Covid-19 cases in a, ensuring confidentiality, and also communities awareness messages will be targeted through media campaigns to reduce the stigmatization and misconceptions in relation to Covid-19 .19. All the above-mentioned activities are in link with the PA National COVID-19 response Plan, Inter-Agency COVID plan, and the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Ministry of Health (MOH) priority needs.

Moreover, 5,000 COVID-19 Isolation Kits that fit MOH’s criteria and including female needs will be distributed to the targeted cases, each kit will include leaflet contains instructions on how amp when to use the contents of the kit. Knowing that coordination will be established with UNRWA when distributing the kits to avoid service duplication. From the other side amp as in-kind contribution from UHWC, psychological support services will be provided to the targeted cases over phone. Moreover, PPE will be distributed on the medical field staff to avoid being infected or infect others during their duty. They will be provided with instructions on safe disposal mechanisms of used PPE, where they will work under UHWC medical supervision. Note that UHWC, in coordination with the Ministry of Health, nominated a group of medical teams to receive training at the MoH on mechanisms for dealing with quarantined and isolated families and methods of preventing the spread of infection in addition to the method of using PPE and its safe disposal after use. In order to raise awareness of the community of COVID-19 prevention measures, so that stop transmission of the infection amp to counteract stigma against infected people, health awareness campaign will be launched including 1 radio spots, 6 sponsored Facebook advertisements consistent with COVID-19 Risk Communication amp Community Engagement Plan. To speed up the procurement process amp the readiness for the start of implementation once the project is approved, the UHWC's administration has formed an emergency committee to prepare the project requirements, including identifying specifications amp lists, amp preparing tenders amp offers (the tenders uploaded in the doc. tab). Moreover, the procurement process will start immediately after signing the agreement, based on the procurement emergency plan. In the same context, the project’s staff will be hired once the project starts from the available human resources amp HR pool 2020 at UHWC. It is worth mentioning that the design of the project's interventions was carried out in coordination with MOH amp the Health Cluster Coordinator. In addition, a letter of support was officially given by MOH to UHWC to implement the services included in the project. (the letter uploaded in docs. tab) To enable community participation in the project, needs assessment has been done over phone with 50 quarantined amp isolated families in all governorates of the Gaza Strip, they have explained their needs that the project responds to (report uploaded in the docs. tab).

The targeted beneficiaries are selected from North and Gaza governorates as 88.5% of detected cases are from those areas. The list of suspected and positive cases will be obtained from MoH where PMRS is already a member of the home care group for isolated and quarantined cases. The project implementation period is 9 months including 8 months for activities and 1 month for closing. Home-based care will be provided by 4 health workers and 4 mobile health teams consist of one doctor and one nurse in each team. The 4 health workers are responsible for monitoring patients and caregivers in the home by giving telephone calls every day or day after day for the duration of the home-care period, that is, until the patient’s symptoms have completely resolved. The health worker will fill checklist including set of questions and some vital signs as temperature, cough difficulty in breathing and other parameters to help them recognizes signs that the COVID-19 patient’s condition is worsening or suspected cases developed symptoms of COVID infection. In this case they will report the development in symptoms and signs of the case to the mobile health teams for further follow up. The mobile health team will visit suspected cases who developed symptoms during home quarantine and confirmed cases when their condition has been deteriorated during the period of home isolation. The team will do medical checkup and decide if treatment can be continued at home or the case need for hospitalization. Mainly suspected cases who developed symptoms will be sent for hospitalization if they have risk factors for severe disease (i.e. age (gt 60 years), smoking, obesity and no communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, chronic lung disease, chronic kidney disease, immunosuppression and cancer. The mobile teams will be supplied with PPE as they are at risk when dealing with suspected and confirmed cases. The teams will be trained in the use of PPE and will apply IPC during their work. The project will support all confirmed cases with mild symptoms with standard home isolation kit already defined by MoH during period of isolation. Also the project supports families for implementing appropriate IPC by providing family with hygiene kits to insure their adherence to the recommendations for home care quarantine. All kits will be delivered to cases and their families by the social workers immediately when home quarantine is decided. Caregivers and household members should receive guidance booklet on how to adhere to the IPC recommendations, booklets will be printed and distributed with the kits. Also the mobile health team will coordinate with preventive medicine teams about the cases they follow ups and coordinate to bring the teams to take samples for PCR tests, and if required for hospitalization.

These pressures have reached unprecedented levels since the outbreak of COVID-19 earlier in March. An already fragile economy in both the West Bank has fallen further since the pandemic and is forecast by the world bank to need more than 10 years to start its recovery. Poverty and unemployment are at an all-time high, with more than 60% of households living under the poverty line and unemployment reaching more than 60%. In East Jerusalem, many families are facing additional pressures as a result of further land annexation with many losing their homes and living under constant stress and exposure to violence. In addition to the pressures to the health sector with the reality of a COVID-19 outbreak in the world’s most densely populated area with inequitable access to basic necessities such as electricity and inadequate access to clean/safe water. Again in areas such as EJ due to geographical restrictions imposed on them by the IOF, Palestinians do not have access to emergency or primary healthcare, safe/clean water sources or reliable electricity. All of these factors further compound the risk of COVID-19 spread, the impact on the communities health and the health of the local economy. Furthermore, in EJ due to their unique position they are caught between two worlds, whereby it is often difficult for them to access healthcare, technically not under PA and neglected by the Israeli authorities. Their unique closed off geographical position only further exacerbated the existing inequities. Across the oPT but in particular, due to tensions relating to Jerusalem, the violence in EJ continues to escalate, with home raids carried out by the IOF (usually at night). There is an increase in mental health complications, including suicide. IOF imposes Restrictions to movement prevent people from being able to access essential healthcare or support and due to the lockdown restrictions preventing work and trade, many families cannot afford essential health items like PPE or medication, further adding to the risks faced by those with a chronic non-communicable disease such as diabetes- which left uncontrolled can lead to secondary health issues such as blindness, kidney damage or death. Noting that the leading cause of death in Palestine is non-communicable diseases, which is entirely preventable, it is essential that primary healthcare continues to be a focus as leaving this demographic without continual health education, screening and support would be disastrous. Therefore, most Palestinians are currently extremely vulnerable to the irreversible health, personal and societal damage resulting from uncontrolled COVID-19 spread. In addition, there has been a documented rise with organisations noting a 10% increase in calls from women regarding GBV in just the first months. As the pandemic crisis continues and the mounting pressures of Palestinian family units only increase and become more entrenched women become further vulnerable demographics. The project aims to address the inequities and gaps, whilst manning access to equitable healthcare, concurrently, scaling up COVID-19 care via the distribution of PPE and hygiene kits in addition to education and communication with the public regarding their role and responsibility in flattening the curve. In addition to a scale up of services to tend to those with positive cases of COVID-19/or those in isolation.

The Emergency Committee has also provided recommendations to WHO, to all countries, and to the global community, on measures to control the outbreak. On the 11 March 2020, WHO announced the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. On 5 March, the Ministry of Health (MoH) of the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) reported its first 7 confirmed COVID-19 cases to WHO. Since then, MoH has reported a cumulative total of 43,345 confirmed cases, with 12,803 active cases across the oPt (as of 17-Sep-2020, 22:00hrs). Regrettably, 278 people died due to COVID-19. The first four local cases were detected within the community in the Gaza Strip on August 25, when the family members of a patient who developed COVID-19 symptoms after being referred to Jerusalem, tested positive as well. Local authorities in the Gaza Strip have so far reported a total of 2,176 confirmed cases, out of which 1,756 are still active cases (as of 17-Sep-2020,22:00hrs). Since the onset of the pandemic, the WHO office in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) and partners have been gradually expanding the support to the Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Health (MoH) to prepare for and respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. These efforts intensified since the first reported cases in oPt. The overall objective of this project is to support the Palestinian Authority Ministry of Health (PA MoH) to contain the human-to-human transmission of the COVID-19. The project aims to strengthen and scale-up the capacity to early detect COVID-19 and adequately trace contacts of confirmed cases. WHO will support the PA MoH and Gaza health authorities in: (1) procuring and delivering essential supplies and equipment needed to scale-up laboratory testing for COVID-19 and expanding laboratory support (3) scaling-up MOH capacity in COVID-19 case detection and management through training health workers. WHO estimates that up to 70,000 women and men in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip will have access to adequate COVID-19 screening through laboratory testing. An additional 100 health workers in Gaza would benefit from the provision of capacity building on COVID-19 case management. At least 500,000 Palestinians in Gaza would receive public health messages on how to prevent COVID-19 through social media, printed messages, etc. The project will also maintain a coordination mechanism established by WHO oPt on a temporary basis to reinstate a centralized mechanism to support patients and companions required by Israel to submit permit applications in order to reach essential health services in the rest of the occupied Palestinian territory. This temporary mechanism established following the suspension of coordination between the Palestinian Authority and Israel after a series of consultations with the Humanitarian Coordinator is aligned with the PA Ministry of Health’s referrals system ensures oversight and monitoring of patient and companion permit delays and denials and signposts patients facing delays or denials of permits to appeals processes and advocacy organizations. An estimated 1,200 male and female Gaza patients/companions would benefit. This allocation would contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the inter-agency COVID-19 response plan launched on 27 March, revised 28 August as well as the Health Cluster Gaza Immediate Needs Plan launched 28 August 2020. It is also in line with the Palestinian National COVID-19 Response Plan launched by the PM’s office on 26 March 2020.

This intervention has two key objectives: 1) To improve quarantine centers’ and quarantined/isolated persons’ access to enhanced WASH services, and 2) To ensure adequate, safe, and regular WASH services for the vulnerable communities located in areas under restrictions of movement. The first objective will be tackled through improving the drinking water supply systems inside the quarantine centers so that hosted people will have access to safe drinking water, and connecting the quarantine centers to municipal wastewater networks to enable safe discharging of the wastewater. Objective 2 will be addressed through conducting electro-mechanical repair works on the existing public desalination plants to resume the supply of drinking water to vulnerable communities living in designated red zone areas and through providing targeted families with hygiene promotion messages to improve their knowledge and practices in handling water safely. These activities have been designed based on AAH’s July 2020 Assessment of quarantine centers and September 2020 Rapid assessment of public desalination plants operated by the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU). The intervention will contribute to a continuity and quality of services and thus support the local authorities and service providers in their mission to maintain humanitarian and WASH services. The proposed activities aim to support an estimated 23,500 individuals (7,675 men, 6,303 women, 4,842 boys and 4,680 girls) hosted in the targeted quarantine centers and living in red zone areas, including 349 people with disability (PWDs). The communities will be kept informed on the different stages of the response and beneficiaries will have the opportunity to provide feedback and complaints, if any, following the different channels of AAH’s Feedback and Complaints Mechanism that will be clearly explained. AAH has extensive experience implementing similar WASH interventions in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) and more specifically in the Gaza Strip, particularly in rehabilitating public desalination plants operated by the Ministry of Health (MoH) and CMWU under ECHO funds, and rehabilitating wastewater drainage systems and dissemination hygiene promotion messages with funds from ECHO in hospitals as well as funds from the oPt Humanitarian Fund in Saftawi area. The proposed activities were coordinated with the WASH cluster, the Palestinian Water Authority (PWA), CMWU, the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD), MoH, and the WASH cluster area focal point, as an emergency response in line with the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) 2020 objectives and the oPt Humanitarian Fund 2020 2nd Standard Allocation Strategy. AAH will adopt the recommended protective and preventive measures in order to limit transmission while doing the works and to protect beneficiaries, staff and all the stakeholders involved in the project. Operational procedures and movements of staff and contractors will be coordinated with MoSD, the Ministry of Interior (MoI), CMWU and related municipalities, and adapted to the rapidly changing context and regulations in the Gaza Strip.Fundacion Accion Contra El Hambre (Action Against Hunger )Fundacion Accion Contra El Hambre (Action Against Hunger )oPt Humanitarian FundLucas HonauerCountry Director+972 (0)546 87 43 49 lhonauer@pt.acfspain.orgGaza Strip31.35644200 34.32704700Water, Sanitation and Hygiene93746.06232059.92325805.98oPt Humanitarian FundFundacion Accion Contra El Hambre (Action Against Hunger )260644.78oPt Humanitarian FundFundacion Accion Contra El Hambre (Action Against Hunger )65161.20oPt Humanitarian FundFundacion Accion Contra El Hambre (Action Against Hunger )XM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-20/DDA-3482/SA2FT/WASH/INGO/17261United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsOxfam in partnership with the Youth Empowerment Center (YEC) and in close coordination with the Palestinian Water Authority (PWA), the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD), health clus ter, UNRWA and WASH cluster members (MA’AN, ACF, GVC, SC and UNICEF), is proposing an action that is fully aligned with OCHA’s objective 2 (fast track) of the 2020 2nd Standard Allocation Strategy in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (oPt). The objective of the proposed emergency response action is to Improve households’ capacities to apply the WASH related COVID-19 Infection, Prevention, and Control in in red zones in Gaza and Northern Gaza governorates. The action will ensure that targeted at home quarantined families including girls, boys, women, men, elderly and people with disabilities (PwDs) have enough means to respond to their WASH needs at the household (HH) level. HHs will be supplied with hygiene kits (HK) considering the specific needs of women and PwDs, including drinking water Jerry cans and protective items. The action will also contribute to increasing targeted BNFs’ awareness and capacity to protect themselves and others from the spread of the virus. This will be conducted through hygiene promotion sessions (remotely), and dissemination of education and communication (IEC) materials considering the Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) guidelines and recommendations. Oxfam and YEC in close coordination with the relevant stakeholders will target 800 Home quarantined HHs (4,640 individuals. Men 1,061, Women 1,040, girls 1,282, boys 1,257) who will be selected in accordance with MOSD's home quarantined beneficiary database, which is updated on a daily basis. The final BNFs will be selected in close coordination with MoSD, WASH cluster members, UNRWA and local community committees in the targeted red zones. Vulnerable families will be prioritized based on the MoSD’s vulnerability parameter s including age, disability, families with high numbers of dependents, women-headed households and families suffering from harsh living conditions including protection related problems. In close coordination with the water quality working group and the hygiene promotion working group (under the umbrella of WASH cluster), Oxfam will develop a WASH COVID-19 protocol, focusing on hygiene kits utilization, distribution, and domestic waste management to home quarantined people. The protocol’s main massages will be reflected in awareness sessions including the IEC materials to be distributed. Moreover, the protocol will be shared with the WASH cluster members to scale up the impact in different areas of the Gaza Strip. The project’s design considers gender and protection principles, emphasizing the participation of women in the project’s community committees including the specific needs of women and PWDs. The proposed action, will contribute to improving the quality of WASH services delivered to vulnerable HH and at home quarantined families. the action will also contribute to enhancing drinking water storage capacities, promote and raise public awareness on good hygiene practices to protect communities and the surrounding environment. the action will also contribute to alleviating the burden on women and children and will enhance gender and age responsiveness through improving women’s knowledge and awareness.

It is linked to the HRP SO 2 “The basic needs of vulnerable Palestinians living under occupation are met through the provision of quality basic services and improved access to resources, in accordance with the rights of protected persons under IHL.“ Furthermore, the 2nd objective of this allocation strategy is to “support the implementation of the COVID-19 Response Plan”. The project will also respond to the different appeals received from the Gaza Strip Municipalities, the Coastal Municipal Water Utility (CMWU), and the Ministry of Local government (MoLG) to support their capacity to mitigate against the health risks related to the COVID 19 epidemic, and to ensure that WASH facilities will continue to function in case of further deterioration of the situation. This project will mainly support WASH service providers in the communities most affected by the virus, which were recently announced as red-zone areas (Gaza and North Gaza governorates). Nevertheless, the project will be flexible to respond to the needs of other communities across the Gaza Strip in case of further spreading of the virus. This project will support public WASH facilities, already stressed by the increased water consumption, in maintaining safe and sufficient drinking water to reduce public health risks, and will equip the water, wastewater, and solid waste management staff by hygiene, disinfection, and protective materials and tools to ensure the sustainability of essential pubic services by: 1) providing sodium hypochlorite solution and chemicals for the disinfection of the water produced by 132 water wells, and for the water treatment in 17 public desalination plants (DSs) to improve water quality 2) providing basic disinfection, hygiene, protective materials and tools to 1,114 staff working at 272 water, wastewater, and solid waste management facilities in 8 municipalities across Gaza and North Gaza governorates to ensure that emergency workers are safe and well equipped to respond to the C-19 outbreak. This project will address the most urgent and acute needs of public WASH service providers based on two detailed assessments, prepared by NRC between July and September 2020 in coordination with the WASH Cluster, CMWU and municipalities. These assessments were based on the WASH responders’ reported needs and priorities, and were validated by the WASH actors and Palestinian Water Authority (PWA). The first assessment was conducted from April 2nd to July 29th, 2020. It aimed to identify the most urgent needs related to sufficient and safe drinking water, and protective measures related to the outbreak of COVID-19 in 112 CMWU and municipalities’ desalination plant (DPs) facilities in the whole of the Gaza Strip. The most recent assessment was conducted in September 2020 to identify the WASH service providers’ needs and gaps related to disinfection and hygiene items, protective clothing and tools. The assessment covered water, wastewater, and solid waste management facilities across all of Gaza. During the implementation of this project, communities’ needs and concerns will be acknowledged and reflected with the support of NRC’s local partner “Improvement and Development for Communities” (IDCO). This collaboration will ensure active community engagement by sharing information, involving key stakeholders in the design, implementation, and monitoring of the project and supporting active communication channels with the WASH service providers. This project will complement ongoing NRC projects related to the COVID-19 response targeting both the WASH service providers and vulnerable households in the whole of the Gaza Strip.

The provision of safe WASH conditions is essential for preventing the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak by facilitating the application of required mitigation measures. The Action will therefore target the most vulnerable communities and HHs in Area C which are not served by piped water services and depend on water trucking or cisterns as their primary water source. These highly vulnerable communities and HHs will be provided with safely managed access to water by addressing all water supply and management chain issues from the water source to the HH. Specifically, ACTED and local partner Applied Research Institute Jerusalem (ARIJ) will implement a multi-level approach to address WASH quality concerns through the following means: Improving water quality of communal water sources and water cisterns such as the installation of chlorine-dosing pumps and maintenance works Strengthening water transition means between the communal water sources, cisterns and/or HHs through the provision of restricted cash assistance for maintenance works on water truck tankers Facilitating self-rehabilitation works for HH level WASH facilities for the most vulnerable through the provision of restricted cash assistance and technical guidance. In total, the project will target 45 communities across nine governorates of the West Bank. The intervention will directly benefit 1,046 HH beneficiaries, representing 4,962 individuals. All HHs will benefit from improvements to the quality of water sources and water cisterns, and from improving water transition means. Out of these 1,046 households, the most vulnerable 180 HHs (828 people) will benefit from HH level rehabilitation works of WASH facilities. Out of these 1,046 households, it is also expected that 1,440 individuals will benefit from the project, as 300 skilled and unskilled workers will be contracted to conduct rehabilitation works with trucks and at household level, thus benefiting these daily workers and their family members. As a rapid response to COVID-19, the WASH rehabilitation of HH-level WASH facilities will be targeted in two batches, allowing for the most vulnerable of the vulnerable to be assisted at the soonest. Similarly, the development of Bills of Quantities (BOQs) for the seven communal water sources and water cisterns, and 120 water truck tankers, will all take place within the first month at project onset.Agency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentAgency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentFinn Church AidoPt Humanitarian FundGinny HaythornthwaiteCountry Director+970 598111809ginny.haythornthwaite@acted.orgAdam KlinkSenior Project Development Officer 0592211956adam.klink@acted.orgWest Bank31.98598100 35.29994700Water, Sanitation and Hygiene84375.00234375.00318750.00oPt Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development191250.00oPt Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development127499.99oPt Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-20/DDA-3482/SA2NT/EDU/INGO/17425United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe proposed project is in line with the education sub-cluster HNO objectives 1 and 2 and aims to ensure that boys and girls have access to distance learning platforms following remote and/or online learning modalities.

This project will build upon Mercy Corps’ current oPt-HF funded cash program to further respond to continually increasing needs amongst targeted vulnerable groups, whose situation has been severely exacerbated by COVID-19. Through unconditional cash assistance, this project will identify and select the most vulnerable HHs in three groups of acutely vulnerable HHs: 1) vulnerable farmers and breeders from Middle Area, Khan Younis, and Rafah, including Access Restricted Areas (ARAs) 2) vulnerable fishers from Middle Area and 3) vulnerable HHs from the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) unserved waiting lists of Social Safety Net (SSN), and daily-wage laborers who lost their source of income and livelihood from Middle Area, Khan Younis, and Rafah. Through this project, Mercy Corps and its local NGO partner Al Foukhary Association for Country Development (Al Foukhary) will target 263 vulnerable HHs (1,447 individuals), including 76 farmers and breeders (from Middle Area, Khan Younis, and Rafah), 42 fishers (from Middle Area), and 83 SSN and 62 daily-wage laborer households (from Middle Area, Khan Younis, and Rafah) 1) Eligible vulnerable Farmer and Breeder HHs identified through combined HH vulnerability assessment and livelihood technical assessment. Each selected Farmer and Breeder HH will receive an average amount of $1,200 in three installments based on their priority needs 2) Eligible vulnerable Fishers HHs identified through combined HH vulnerability assessment and livelihood technical assessment. Each selected Fisher HH will receive an average amount of $ 1,002 in three installments based on their priority needs 3) Highly vulnerable SSN and Daily-Wage laborer HHs will receive $1,016 over four months ($254 monthly installments). This urgent cash support will allow vulnerable HHs to have flexible, reliable, and timely financial support to address their urgent needs, restore their livelihoods, build resilience and improve agriculture and fishery production capacity. Cash installments will be distributed through Electronic Debit Cards (e-cards) from PalPay and Bank of Palestine, which has extensive geographic coverage and is highly accessible through ATMs and Branches in Middle Area, Khan Younis, and Rafah. This will ensure that beneficiaries can access cash assistance outside regular bank work hours and even if banks are limiting operations due to the COVID-19 crisis and restricted movement measures. By utilizing cash as a modality for direct assistance, beneficiaries have greater power in determining how to meet their own urgent needs, empowering them and maintaining their dignity while reducing their vulnerability and contributing to the restoration of their food security. Additionally, in the Gaza Strip, local markets are functional and vendors continue to have adequate stock available therefore, cash assistance is an appropriate humanitarian response modality to meet critical basic needs. Through well-established evidence-based vulnerability and technical targeting, Mercy Corps and Al Foukhary, will use the Proxy Means Test Formula (PMTF), and Technical Criteria to identify, assess and verify selected vulnerable HHs to receive cash assistance, monitor activities, and ensure full coordination and engagement with the MoSD, Ministry of Agriculture, the community and all relevant stakeholders. Additionally, Mercy Corps will promote community ownership, accountability, and participation throughout the project through baseline assessments, orientation sessions, Post Distribution Monitoring, and its Community Accountability and Reporting Mechanism (CARM), while also mobilizing key stakeholders to more deeply engage with identified vulnerable HHs.Mercy CorpsMercy CorpsAl Foukhary Association for Country Development (Khan Younis)oPt Humanitarian FundSasha MuenchCountry Director+972549242295smuench@mercycorps.orgSamer MohsenDirector of Programs+970599023531smohsen@mercycorps.orgTammam ShahwanFinance Director+972528121207tshahwan@mercycorps.orgIbrahim KuhailMEL Manager+972598813391ikuhail@mercycorps.orgGaza Strip31.35644200 34.32704700Food Security25846.15415153.85441000.00oPt Humanitarian FundMercy Corps264600.00oPt Humanitarian FundMercy Corps176400.00oPt Humanitarian FundMercy Corps1289.98Mercy CorpsUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-20/DDA-3482/SA2NT/FSL/INGO/17439United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThrough the proposed 9-month project, Action Against Hunger (AAH) aims to address needs of vulnerable food insecure households in Rafah Governorate. In partnership with the Arab Center for Agricultural Development (ACAD), AAH will build on both organisations’ technical experience and well-established presence in local communities to access to the most vulnerable households in need of livelihoods restoration, along with improved access to food. The intervention is twofold: firstly, it firstly intends to maintain and/or improve the livelihoods of 60 vulnerable households of small-scale farmers who are facing the consequences of the current lack of economic resources in the Gaza Strip, exacerbated by the outbreak of COVID-19, which has impaired their capacity to repair or conduct adequate maintenance on their key agricultural infrastructures. The provided support will include unconditional cash transfer to facilitate their access to rehabilitation materials and inputs, in addition to agricultural extension services to improve their productivity and strengthen their technical capacity in mitigating environmental shocks and risks. Secondly, the project will address the needs of 80 vulnerable households with immediate needs to improve their food security and coverage of basic needs through Multi Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) assistance. Overall, an estimated 1,964 individuals will benefit from this intervention (including 216 men, 192 women, 161 boys and 172 girls or 741 directly), obtaining either resources to maintain their main source of livelihoods or cash assistance in order to reduce negative coping mechanisms and increase their household’s food security level. The overall intervention will consider households supported as a whole special attention will be paid to potential outcomes of the intervention on household dynamics, specifically considering gender roles. Data about household tasks repartition between men, women, youth and members with special needs will be assessed and taken into consideration during the selection process. Building on an existing successful partnership between AAH and ACAD (currently funded by the oPt Humanitarian Fund), this intervention answers to the gaps identified within the oPt Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) 2020 and align with the identified objectives, specifically considering farmers affected by recurrent shocks and food insecure households in surrounding areas, including most vulnerable groups, elderly, disabled and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) suffering reduced capacity to acquire basic inputs or access markets as needed to protect their livelihoods.

It will do so by Rehabilitation and provision of productive assets and inputs for farmers owns lands in Area C located in 3 villages in Tulkarem governorates who face specific challenges to cultivate their lands due to different measures imposed by the occupation regime including settler violence, demolition, confiscation, the wall, etc. The project is based on a needs assessment conducted by PUI and UAWC in September 2020 that identified the most pressing needs of vulnerable farmers working in area C close to the wall or settlements. In addition, PUI coordinated with FSS, MoA Central and MoA directorates of Qalqilya and Tulkarem, in order to identify and prioritize FSS needs and localities in these 2 governorates. In order to respond to the identified needs and to contribute to the HRP, HF and cluster objectives of this second allocation, PUI and UAWC will provide 2 types of assistance: - Provide1.5 kilometer of water carrier lines to ensure the delivery of water from the resources to the agricultural lands. The support will include the delivery of water carrier lines while the Village Council will contribute to provide additional inputs for the success of this activity. This activity will reach to 80 farmers in total. - Support 120 vulnerable farmers working in lands adjacent to the settlements or the wall and whose livelihoods are threatened by occupation measures. Agricultural roads will be rehabilitated (4 km), which will increase a safe access to lands and contribute to preventing land confiscations. Additional 10 farmers will receive land rehabilitation support to increase their production capacity. The project will also provide cisterns to other 3 farmers to enhance the supplementary irrigation to trees and crops in their lands In total, 213 farmers households (1022 individuals) will benefit directly from the Action. Selection criteria for those farmers will depend mainly on the socio-economic vulnerability criteria. It will look also on technical criteria including topography of the land, slope percentage, soil depth, land ownership, and planted trees (in addition to protection considerations, including IHL violations, close to settlement, the wall, and access restricted areas). The project will be implemented in partnership with UAWC and each organization will bring their expertise to the partnership: UAWC supporting agriculture from a development perspective focusing on water activities and PUI rehabilitating lands and assets, easing access and providing support to farmers with a protection lens through emergency and protective responses to settler-related incidents. Furthermore, the project will complement the Action of the West Bank Protection Consortium by covering a need gap in the provision of assistance and livelihood support to vulnerable farmers in Area C. Besides, PUI will mobilize its Consortium experience (tools, methodology, network) to be operational at different stages of the project.Première Urgence InternationalePremière Urgence InternationaleUnion of Agricultural Work CommitteesoPt Humanitarian FundUnited Nations OCHA Financial Tracking Service (UN OCHA FTS)Anthony DUTEMPLEHead of Mission0562100050hom@premiere-urgence.psAbbud Al-ShareefWB Field Coordinator0562100058wb.field.coord@premiere-urgence.psWest Bank31.98598100 35.29994700Food SecurityOccupied Palestinian Territory Humanitarian Response Plan 202015858.66193277.40209136.06oPt Humanitarian FundPremière Urgence Internationale167308.85oPt Humanitarian FundPremière Urgence Internationale41827.21oPt Humanitarian FundPremière Urgence Internationale2148.28Première Urgence InternationaleUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs243.57Première Urgence InternationaleUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-20/DDA-3482/SA2NT/FSL/NGO/17242United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe intervention aims to combat poverty, reduce food insecurity, and build resilience for 795 acutely vulnerable farming and herding households from 17 communities located in the Nablus governorate, particularly, prioritizing female-headed households to cope with prolonged food security threats and shocks including preventative measures to settler violence and provision of inputs for capacity restoration of agricultural productive assets.

These locations are exposed to human rights violations, such as demolitions`, displacement, settlers’ violence, confiscation of lands for settlements expansions, and building industrial zone, The population has been exposed to harassment for a long time, as there are still closed roads since the 2000 uprising, the demolition, burning, and confiscation continues in favor of the settlement of Annab and the settlement of Avni Hefetz that is dividing Shufa from Izbt Shufa preventing farmers from accessing their agricultural lands. In addition to the bypass roads serving settlements. This project is a priority in the list of projects for the Directorate of Agriculture in Tulkarm.ِ Although the project supporting the idea of national clusters projects and it is an agricultural cluster, these marginalized sites have not received aid from any other party until now. The AAA conducted a comprehensive needs assessment in September 2020 that covered the needs of farmers in the Tulkarem, thus showed that the cost of agricultural water reaches more than 3 shekels and becomes scarce in the summer. There is water loss as a result of the destruction of the reservoir by the occupation, the roads are rocky and rugged, also parts of the roads have been destroyed many times by the Israeli forces. More than 800 dunums were recently confiscated for the establishment of an industrial zone (source: Tulkarm governorate, local council), in Kufer Al-Labad more than 800 olive trees were uprooted, water tanks were stolen by settlers, sheds were demolished, and farmers were prevented from accessing their lands, more than 20 confiscation orders and construction stops during the last year, 1100 settlement units built from the area's lands, the estimated volume of attacks on farmers in the last year was more than 60 attacks, settlers stealing crops of Palestinians farmers' lands, burning fruitful trees, and a settler grazing 200 heads of sheep on agricultural lands, there are many cases of being run over and threatened with weapons. The legal aspects will be taken into consideration during the implementation to avoid any obstacles by the occupying forces. The project will contribute to mitigating the negative impacts practiced by the occupation for 2209 farmers ( 613 men, 612 women, 498 children, 486 Girls) with the aim of enhancing livelihoods and resilience in their lands. The proposed activities will respond to the different humanitarian needs of the most vulnerable farmer to improve their living conditions by improving their access to services and inputs, rehabilitating lands and roads, provide farmers with water by the rehabilitation of a metallic tank where the farmer irrigates the crops actually through direct pumping to his land and this causes problems and crises at the time of irrigation, as the farmer is forced to irrigate his crops according to the reservation time and not according to the need of the crop for irrigation, and the farmer has to wait until his turn comes, which causes a waste of time and damage to the crop, as well as causing problems among farmers when the tank is available, the water is collected and thus never interrupted, and the time for its use is available at the time of need and thus the optimal use of water in a way that maintains the health of the soil and serves the crops, install water carrier lines. Women-headed Households will be the first priority when selecting the beneficiaries.

These activities were based on the needs identified by the 2nd Standard Allocation Strategy Paper. Five medical delegations consisting of volunteer surgeons-specialists will travel to Gaza for two to three days in order to conduct surgeries in an array of fields such as vascular surgery, chest surgery, neurology, orthopedics, pediatrics, ENT, among other. These delegations will be conducted in coordination with the Palestinian Ministry of Health and local surgeons who will identify the needs of specifically complex surgeries prior to the delegation taking place. In addition, PHRI will supply missing medical equipment and surgical tools needed for the surgeries. In addition, PHRI will facilitate referrals for 80 patients seeking medical care outside their areas of residence. In some appropriate and/or emergency cases, PHRI will also fund such treatments, tests or follow-up examinations. PHRI will intervene to reverse the exit permit denials of 170 cases of patients who need treatment unavailable in Gaza. PHRI will sometimes use legal action combined with a range of tools to tackle individual cases and will also resort to strategic litigation to challenge general criteria according to which permits are denied. PHRI will focus particularly on the issue of child separation and cancer patients.

The proposed intervention will be targeting 42 vulnerable communities in Area C in the West Bank that were identified by CARE/Partners/ MoH/ and the HNC during the recent HRP 2021. All identified locations have a serious access issues and lack any type of health services. The identified locations will be targeted through 4 mobile health clinics (10 health teams) that will be visiting these communities regularly to provide the health services per agreed upon program/plan with the HNC and MoH. The 44 locations are distributed as follow: 12 locations in Bethlehem Area, 11 locations in Hebron Area, 9 locations in north Jordan valley, and 12 Bedouin communities in Jerusalem and middle Jordan valley area. CARE/partners (PMRS and HWC), in close coordination with MoH centrally and at the governorates’ level, will provide life-saving services in targeted communities in the WB through the use of mobile clinics/teams that offer basic curative and preventive Primary Health Care services (PHC), including women’s healthcare (ante and post-natal care, obstetric care, etc), general practice care (GP), health awareness with focus on communities needs and priorities like COVID 19 control, prevention and referrals, basic lab tests, home visits, children health and psychosocial support. The team will also be provided with emergency kits that enable them to respond to emergency incidents in these communities while working in the clinics to ensure lifesaving before transferring to the hospitals. Additionally, the teams will train selected community focal points (mainly females) on first aid and provide them with 1st Aid kits to better respond to the emergencies in their communities.

The Ministry of Health has been unable to provide eye care for its own patients since the outbreak of COVID-19 and is now fully reliant on St. John, as its main referral center for MoH, to tackle the urgent unmet needs of its vulnerable patients. St. John Eye Hospital Group, despite being the single largest provider of eye care services to the Palestinian, has also experienced a dramatic drop in the number of patients at its 4 facilities in East Jerusalem (main hospital), West Bank and Gaza. The first lockdown had resulted in more than 18,000 patients missing their scheduled medical appointments for examination and clinical treatment much worse, over 1,200 major sight‐saving surgeries were cancelled. These numbers are only representing SJEHG, and it is expected to be much higher on a national level. Many of those patients are under risk of losing their sight, either partially or fully. The proposed one-year emergency project aims at ensuring availability and accessibility to the most essential quality eye care services by operating essential Cataract surgeries for patients who are under high risk of avoidable blindness if timely interventions did not take place. Accordingly, St. John and the Ministry of Health have agreed a national emergency eye care plan, governed by a partnership memorandum of understanding, to respond to the urgent need for essential eye care services in time of health crisis (COVID-19) to vulnerable patients who have no other option for treatment. Many patients are currently unnecessarily blind or visually impaired because of treatable conditions and diseases. The Framework agreement initially targets MoH patients and non-MoH patients (i.e UNRWA) to receive the much needed services and therefore 70% of the cases will be selected by the Ministry of Health based on a certain criteria, and 30% will be UNRWA refugees, to whom St. John is the only resort for treatment. The project will mainly target the most vulnerable population groups in the West Bank and East Jerusalem (as described in later sections) through our national partners Ministry of Health and UNRWA. Medically, patients with severe visual impairment caused by Cataract and Diabetic Retinopathy, both being the leading causes of avoidable blindness in Palestine, will be targeted as agreed upon with the Ministry of Health Medical Aid for PalestiniansMedical Aid for PalestiniansST JOHN EYE HOSPITAL - JERUSALEMoPt Humanitarian FundAisha MansourMAP director in West Bank0599313414aisha.mansour@map-uk.orgWest Bank31.98598100 35.29994700Health25379.97324171.48349551.45oPt Humanitarian FundMedical Aid for Palestinians349551.45oPt Humanitarian FundMedical Aid for Palestinians5738.22Medical Aid for PalestiniansUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-20/DDA-3482/SA2NT/HNC/NGO/17489United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsDespite conducting elective surgeries by UHWC to patients scheduled on the MoH waiting lists through the implementation of 2 projects funded by OPT-HF, one of these projects was implemented in 2018-2019 amp targeted 827 patients amp the other is currently being implemented targeting 1,474 patients. And despite implementing such projects by other international amp local institutions, but the need still exists amp the No. of patients increase steadily as a result of the increase in the severity of the accumulated crises faced by the MoH where the most recent was the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Gaza strip, upon which the MoH allocated all its hospitals to deal with emergency amp COVID-19 cases. In March 2020 the registered patients at the MoH waiting lists reached 6759 patients while currently in Sept. 2020 (according to the MoH) the No. reached 7506 patients, which confirms the urgent need to continue implementing such projects. In order to contribute to bridging the gaps amp responding to the humanitarian needs of those patients, through this project 828 electives surgeries will be conducted at al Awda Hospital targeting women, men, girls, boys, elderly amp PWD from Northern Gaza Strip amp Gaza governorates. The surgical operations will cover the following No. amp specialties: - 306 ENT - 322 General - 100 urology - 100 Orthopedic 422 moderate 406 major The services will include medical examination, lab., radiological services, surgical operation, hospitalization amp post-op follow up. A partnership will be continued through this project with the Central Blood Bank Society (CBBS) in order to provide the necessary blood units for patients to save their lives. As through this project, 2000 blood units will be collected and provided to Al Awda Hospital amp other hospitals in the Gaza Strip In order to achieve the principle of coordination amp complementarily, during the design of this proposal coordination has been done with the HC coordinator amp MoH who emphasized the need amp the importance of this project. Moreover, the idea of the project meets the HRP strategic obj. # 2, Health Cluster obj. # 2, in addition to the 1st Allocation obj. Believing in the principle of community participation in identifying their most important problems, needs amp priorities, 50 calls were conducted with individuals from the local community from the Northern amp Gaza governorates where the majority of them confirmed the importance of alleviating the suffering of patients who are registered on the MoH waiting list, especially who needs major amp medium operations, as the delay in conducting the surgical operations pose a threat to the lives of patients amp increase their suffering adding to the possibility of having complications. Another 50 phone calls will be conducted with the project beneficiaries to monitor the project services at the mid of the project. While 50 E-questionnaires will be filled to measure the beneficiaries' satisfaction about the provided services at the end of the project. To achieve the principle of protection, the project will target different age groups, including men, women boys amp girls, as well as PWD without discrimination. To respond to gender needs, medical staff of both sexes (MampF) will be available. Moreover, pediatric surgeons will be available to respond to the age needs. In order to protect patients amp medical staff from the transmission of COVID19 infection, several preventive measures will be followed, including the initial examination (IGG, IGM) for the patients before entering the hospital, while PPE will be distributed to the medical staff amp patients inside the hospital. To reach accurate amp easily accessible information, HIS is in place amp used at Al Awda Hospital.

This intervention will support 18,749 people in vulnerable communities in the West Bank to access essential, life-saving health care at the primary and secondary level, with a focus on sexual and reproductive, including maternal, health. In addition, the project will support improved coordination and response from all partners working on SRH, including on disability mainstreaming in SRH interventions. This intervention is required in order to ensure there is not an increase in maternal morbidity and mortality, which have early indications of increasing over the past three years that women have access to family planning to avoid unplanned pregnancies that essential pregnancy care is provided, preventable infant and child mortality is avoided and that people have access to life saving primary and secondary health care. This will be achieved by: 1. Operating three mobile clinic teams providing level two primary health care in the West Bank (Salfit-Nablus, Qalqiliya-Tulkarem, and Jordan Valley). The mobile clinics will ensure access to healthcare for 17,153 people in the West Bank who otherwise wouldn’t have access. 2.

The prolonged strain and economic isolation of the Gaza Strip have pushed vulnerable families’ deeper poverty and pushed them to the last resort which is using negative coping mechanisms to deal with the high level of poverty, unemployment, and vulnerabilities. The pandemic of COVID-19 and the containment measures imposed by authorities exacerbate vulnerabilities to unbearable levels. The pandemic has pushed a greater number of households into poverty and food insecurity, with an increase of at least 10% in the current poverty rate which is soaring at more than 53%. Such a context has increased the need for the provision of responsive and remedial protection and education responses for affected children and their families, such as case management and MHPSS. The proposed action is a response to such needs. The needs include, but are not limited to child protection case management, remote learning opportunities, and remedial classes for out-of-school children and/or children at risk of drop-out. The project aims to improve the wellbeing of vulnerable children and their families in the Gaza Strip, by meeting the protection and education needs of 3,850 children (2,300 boys and 1,550 girls). In particular, the project will target out of school children, working children, children displaying symptoms of distress, and SGBV survivors. Main activities under the Protection Cluster include (1) provision of individual case management to children who indicate to having been subjected to different types of violence, including child laborers, and SGBV survivors, (2) referrals to specialized services, and (3) provision of MHPS Services to people in the quarantine facilities or families who have members in quarantines/isolation, (4) provision of cash assistance. Main activities under the Education Cluster include (1) re-integration of out of school children in the official education system and vocational education, (2) provision of school stationery, uniforms, and transportation of children who cannot afford and/or access education, and (3) provision of catch up classes and remote learning opportunities for children living with disabilities and those who might be in need of such services. All interventions proposed under this Action are consistent with the strategic objective of the 2020 Humanitarian Response Plan and to the Protection and Education Cluster strategic objectives. The project interventions will be carried out by Terre des Hommes (Tdh) and four partners, Beit-Lahiya Development Association (BLDA), Bayt Al Mustaqbal Society, AlTawasol Forum Society, and Atfaluna Society for Deaf Children. Tdh and its partners will liaise with the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD), the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, relevant UN Clusters, and working groups, in order to ensure coordination and collaboration.

The action’s objective is to contribute to enhancing the coping capacity and meeting the basic needs of vulnerable households with protection concerns due to their substandard housing conditions through shelter rehabilitation/adaptation support and provision of shelter/household NFIs. The intervention will ensure that targeted families including girls, boys, women, men, elderly and people with disabilities (PwDs) have adapted and adequate living spaces with integrated hygiene WASH facilities considering the specific protection and shelter needs of women and PwDs. Oxfam and YEC plan to target 55 HHs with PWDs and with people injured during the great march of return (GMR) (385 individuals 193 males, 192 females) including160 vulnerable HHs with substandard shelter conditions (1120 individuals 569 males, 551females). Shelter adaptation and rehabilitation works will meet shelter basic needs and minimum standards, including adapting living spaces to meet quarantine needs and people at higher risk of Covid-19 infection.. Physical, weather, protection, privacy, dignity, safety, security, gender and protection concerns, special needs of people with physical disabilities and access-concerns will also be considered The action will also contribute to increasing targeted BNFs’ awareness and capacity to protect themselves and others from the spread of the virus. This will be conducted through the dissemination of Information, education and communication (IEC) materials (remotely through Facebook joint mobile calls and WhatsApp groups in addition to using Braille for blind people) aligned with the Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) guidelines and key messages of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) related to PWDs’ COVID-19 inclusion in humanitarian actions. The nominated list of HHs with PWDs and GMR injuries was provided to Oxfam through the NSR and verified by (MoSD). The nominated list of vulnerable HHs with substandard housing conditions was provided by (MoSD) in coordination with (MoPWH) considering the social hardship cases (MoSD) database. The final BNFs will be selected in close coordination with MoSD, MoPWH, NSR, and shelter cluster members taking into considering protection concerns, economic and shelter technical vulnerability criteria. The project’s design considers gender and protection principles, emphasizing the participation of male and female beneficiaries of all ages to respond to HHs’ specific needs, and protection concerns including prioritize their needs considering budget limitations. Protection principles include facilitating equal and dignified access to tailored services according to identified needs, ensuring protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all sensitive beneficiary data. The proposed action will contribute to alleviating the domestic burden on women and children and enhance gender and age responsiveness. This will contribute to managing care duties and household chores more effectively including enhancing women’s engagement in decision making processes and participation in public life at the HH and community levels. The proposed action is also informed by Oxfam’s experience in working on designated emergency shelters at the HH level incorporating its local and global track record related to Shelter, WASH, hygiene promotion, gender and disability inclusion.

It will help the highly vulnerable HHs living in substandard shelters have access to safe, adequate, and healthy living environment through winterization solutions and basic shelter rehabilitation. The action was designed by Islamic relief and its local partners (BAYADER and UFA) who are currently working together in the ongoing humanitarian interventions targeting over 2000 households in the southern Gaza Strip. The action includes two key components: (1) Winterization and light repair of houses for 234 houses (94 Deir Al-Balah, 77 Khan Younis, 63 Rafah): Cash assistance at an average of $ 400 per HHs (based on identified technical needs at each house) for essential non-food items, light repairs, and adaptations of substandard housing conditions where the HHs will be oriented and advised to implement the prioritized activities such as repairs of roofs, broken windows, closing holes and fixing cracks in the walls etc, in addition to purchasing the needed essential non-food items including sterilizing and hygiene items, sealing off kit (Nylon, Tarpaulin sheet, tape), bedding kits, winter clothes , etc. (2) Rehabilitation of substandard housing units and essential NFIs for 100 houses (40 Deir Al-Balah, 33 Khan Younis, 27 Rafah): Cash assistance at an average of $1,763 per HHs (based on identified technical needs at each house) for rehabilitation of substandard housing units where the HHs will be oriented and advised to do the priority rehabilitation such as roofs, windows, doors, fixing toilets and kitchens, etc. Also, HHs will purchase the needed shelter NFI packages including bedding items (Blanket, Mattress, Mat), winter clothes, and/or kitchen sets, as well as basic Hygiene items to protect family members from COVID-19. The project will be managed by IRPAL humanitarian program team with substantial delegation of the major interventions on the ground to the local partners BAYADER and UFA. The following is a list of key activities showing roles of each party (in brackets). - Finalize selection of 234 beneficiaries for winterization and light repair and preparation of bills of quantities (IRPAL and partners) - Conduct orientation and communication with beneficiaries regarding NFIs kits (partners) - Provide financial and technical support to HHs to implement winterization and light repair and purchase NFIs kits (IRPAL and partners) - Conduct health promotion (partners) - Conduct MEAL activities and post distribution monitoring (IRPAL and partners) - Finalize selection of 100 beneficiaries for rehabilitation of substandard housing units and preparation of bills of quantities (IRPAL and partners) - Conduct orientation and communication with beneficiaries related to shelter rehabilitation (partners) - Provide financial and technical support to 100 HHs to rehabilitate / renovate / adapt their substandard houses through self-help approach (IRPAL and partners) - Conduct MEAL activities and post distribution monitoring (IRPAL and partners) - Conduct administrative and financial closure (IRPAL and Partners) The long experience and operational capacity of IRPAL and its local partners in the field of humanitarian actions in general and the shelter sector in particular, makes them best suited to implement the project to the highest level of quality and accountability to the stakeholder i.e. donor and beneficiaries with best utilizing the value for money (highest level of economy, efficiency and effectiveness) and adopting best practices and guidance by the shelter cluster guidelines as well IRPAL shelter guidelines, as well as high level of coordination with related ministries and peer organizations. The action is “time critical” and should be implemented as soon as possible in advance of winter season.

As such, the project is fully aligned with the Shelter/NFI Cluster Objective 3: “Capacity to respond to natural or manmade hazards in a timely, efficient and effective manner is increased,” itself feeding into Strategic Objective 3 of the HRP, “The capacity of vulnerable Palestinians to cope with, and overcome, a protracted crisis, including from environmental threats, is supported, while solutions to violations and other root causes of threats and shocks are pursued.” In a context of exacerbated political tensions, intensified by the difficulties to contain the COVID-19 pandemic’s spread in Gaza, efforts to build communities’ preparedness and increased prepositioning of NFIs are paramount to ensure rapid and safe access to emergency assistance for the most vulnerable groups, in particular women, children, people with disabilities and the elderly. In order to continue increasing communities’ preparedness and emergency response capacity, ACTED will establish, train and further build the capacity of one new and one existing Community Emergency Response Networks (CERNs) in the Middle Area, Khan Younis, and Rafah governorates, which are historically the most affected by massive movements of population during emergencies, and where communities have limited knowledge of emergency mechanisms in place. ACTED will also increase its stockpiling capacity and geographic coverage by further prepositioning NFI kits in four warehouses located in the three target governorates, thus ensuring preparedness for future man-made and natural disasters while enabling immediate response to urgent COVID-19 needs as they arise. In addition, the action will deliver hygiene kits to 3000 vulnerable households in home quarantine or at higher risk of being affected by COVID-19 in Rafah, Middle Area and Khan Younis governorates In total, the project will benefit 30,386 individuals. Two CERNs, composed of four Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), four Community-Based Protection Committees (CBPCs), and 130 volunteers (176 individuals in total), will be established and/or trained on community preparedness and emergency response 300 host households will be assessed to identify and address needs for future bouts of hosting IDPs 3000 HHs (representing 17,100 individuals) will benefited from COVID 19 hygiene kits and 5,200 NFI sets, expected to cover emergency needs for at least 2,000 households, representing 11,400 individuals, will be prepositioned in four existing and new warehouses across the Middle Area, Khan Younis and Rafah governorates.

This will be achieved through the provision of tailored NFIs and/or winterization assistance, and implementation of shelter repair and/or adaptation works thus contributing to increased resilience. The project is heavily informed by assessments undertaken between February and April 2020, extensive consultations with key stakeholders, recommendations from the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD), the Ministry of Public Works and Housing and Shelter amp NFI Cluster in Gaza and incorporates a number of key lessons learnt from previous interventions. Specifically, ACTED and local partner MA’AN will implement a multi-pronged approach to increase access of vulnerable HHs to safe and secure shelters through the following means: Conducting a verification exercise of pre-selected HHs and technical assessment to define precise needs for shelter NFIs and/or winterization assistance and shelter repair and/or adaptation works through the production of detailed Bills of Quantities (BoQs) and their subsequent remedy through clear workplans Providing tailored winterization assistance and/or shelter NFIs to vulnerable HHs to reduce their exposure to protection risks and increase their preparedness to harsh weather conditions and resilience capacities Overseeing shelter repair and/or adaptation works by selected vendor(s) to ensure compliance with SPHERE and Shelter Cluster minimum standards and to alleviate unmet needs that expose HHs to harsh weather and protection risks Strengthening existing Community-based Protection Committees (CBPCs) through the provision of trainings (refresher training and new topics) to mainstream protection principles within their communities. In total, the project will target twelve communities across Middle Area and Khan Yunis governorates in the Gaza Strip, namely Al Bureij Camp, Al Maghazi Camp, Nuseirat Camp, Zawayda, Deir al Balah, Abasan al Jadida, Abasan al Kabira, Bani Suheila, Khan Yunis, Khan Yunis Camp, Kh Uza and Wadi Alsalqa. The twelve communities will indirectly benefit from the intervention through the enhanced protection delivered by the CBPCs. More specifically, the intervention will directly benefit 300 beneficiary HHs across the twelve communities (comprised of 2042 individuals) through the provision of tailored winterization assistance and/or shelter NFIs and subsequent shelter repair and/or adaptation works of their most urgent shelter needs. In addition, two CBPCs comprised of twelve members altogether (six members in each) will benefit from trainings (refresher training and new topics) to support their communities and ensure mainstreaming of protection principles. As such, there will be 2054 direct beneficiaries in total. The project will be supported by the mainstreaming of an Integrated Protection Approach (IPA), with a specific focus on the most vulnerable groups, including women, girls, boys, the disabled and the elderly. Gender principles will be mainstreamed throughout the entire action and CBPCs will be trained on referral mechanisms of protection cases such as gender-based violence (GBV) with a particular focus given to women and children. Finally, Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) will be core to the proposed Action by giving account to, taking account of and being held to account by affected populations.

This project fits with Strategic Objective (3) of shelter and NFIs cluster “Capacity to respond to natural or manmade hazards in a timely, efficient and effective manner is increased “. On other hand, the action is in line with the assigned objective of allocation strategy “The prepositioning of stocks and provision of other of soft/consumable components for Designated Emergency Shelters and for host-community emergency responses". The project includes to replenish MA'AN existing stockpiles with NFIs to ensure responsive and accountable emergency response. This has been considering the NFI standard packages and kits of Shelter cluster that were designed to meet the gender and protection needs. Five partner CBOs will be engaged in the stockpiling intervention. The project should support to enhance the capacity of MA'AN and the five partner CBOs to apply more efficient stockpiling management protocols while providing for more inclusive and gender sensitive emergency response actions. Set of hosting communities will be targeted in Gaza City and the Northern Governorate including Southern Rimal, Beach Camp, Sheikh Radwan, Al Nasser Area, Jabalia Al Nazleh, and Western Zaitoon Area. As a result of the proposed actions total individuals of 9,353 including 2520 women, 2580 men, 2101 girls, and 2152 boys will have access to their needs of shelter NFIs at the onset of an emergency. The project applies community-based preparedness and emergency response mechanisms. MA’AN capitalizes on its community-based emergency response structure to support the IDPs in hosting communities and others in the PA-Led designated emergency shelters to access their needs of life saving NFIs. The NFIs stockpiles will serve mainly the hosting communities in emergencies and will be ready as a backup to support the IDPs of the governmental designated shelters. The project builds on MA'AN experience in stockpiling and emergency distribution of NFIs in coordination with the shelter cluster and the national emergency response structures.MA’AN Development CenterMA’AN Development CenteroPt Humanitarian FundEhab Abu HusseinProgram Manager0599903097ehab@maan-ctr.orgGaza Strip31.35644200 34.32704700Emergency Shelter and NFI26448.38262367.95288816.33oPt Humanitarian FundMA’AN Development Center115526.53oPt Humanitarian FundMA’AN Development Center86644.90oPt Humanitarian FundMA’AN Development Center86644.61oPt Humanitarian FundMA’AN Development Center
