In 2020, demolition of Palestinian structures recorded the highest average since 2009, along with recurrent settler violence, child detention and risk of forcible transfer, against IHL and Human Rights, with limited accountability. The recent May 2021 escalations in the West Bank and Gaza Strip further exacerbated the situation of protracted violence and increased the protection needs of Palestinians living in vulnerable communities. The different measures taken to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic had a clear impact on population, worsening the MH and developing symptoms of different problems (anxiety, stress, …). MdM-CH amp YMCA have been working together to increase the quality of the MHPSS services provided to Palestinian population, building on previous individual experience: a) MdM: MHPSS support to ex-detained children and their families, peer-to-peer education and developing support groups in areas considered as most vulnerable. b) YMCA: academic rehabilitation for students who released from Israeli detention, vocational training or alternative education for children not able to return to school) both in developmental components and in Humanitarian Aid reinforcing MHPSS protection response to critical political violence related incidents, helping students and teachers to help students, counselors, and teachers to overcome obstacles that limit the possibility of learning in a healthy and appropriate environment. This action will improve protection response inside the schools while helping students retrieve their psychosocial wellbeing to enable them access opportunities and rights and increase participation, whether domestic, social or in school… etc. This action is aimed at reintegrating children in community and in the educational process by preventing, reducing, mitigating and responding to psychosocial risks and consequences of IHL violations in the West Bank, taking into account harmful coping mechanisms, gender inequality, specific vulnerabilities of children and adolescents, and accountability of duty bearers, through the following results: 1. Reinforced access of victims of conflict-related critical incident to MHPSS Emergency Response and protection case management inside and outside school. 2. Individuals and community psychosocial coping mechanisms and resilience capacities are increased to face the coercive environment.Médecins Du MondeMédecins Du MondeEast Jerusalem YMCAoPt Humanitarian FundUnited Nations OCHA Financial Tracking Service (UN OCHA FTS)Héctor Álvarez DíazGeneral Coordinator 00972 (0) 543445 177 genco.palestine@medecinsdumonde.chWest Bank31.98598100 35.29994700EducationOccupied Palestinian Territory Humanitarian Response Plan 202161337.8718975.0280312.89oPt Humanitarian FundMédecins Du Monde64250.31oPt Humanitarian FundMédecins Du Monde13141.55oPt Humanitarian FundMédecins Du Monde0.00Médecins Du MondeUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-21/DDA-3482/1SA/EDU/INGO/21062United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe current context in the oPt has been highly impacted by the pandemic of COVID-19, resulting in additional burden on an already stretched education system. This is translated into schools closure and, at times, additional requirements to turn into online education in a context in which a large number of students is unable to follow this approach. According to gender analysis conducted by HI in Gaza and West Bank, 56.4% of children with and without disabilities could not follow online classes due to the lack of internet connection and educational technologies or lack of classes / adaptive didactic support from the schools. The study also shown that girls were more affected (65%) than boys (47%). Whereas the pandemic impacted children and educators' psycho-social aspects and well-being, the escalation during May 2021 on the West Bank and Gaza further aggravated the situation leaving children and educators in an urgent need for emotional and psycho-social support. Observations from the field showed an urgent need of building the capacities of school counselors in providing inclusive psycho-social first aid. The Education cluster estimates that children with disabilities are one the most affected by the protracted and acute crisis: they lack basic assistive devices and education technologies that would facilitate their learning following the mixed approach of face to face and online learning, and are in need of psycho-social support (PSS) and remedial education. Since 2014, HI has strive to improve the access of children with disabilities to education both in Gaza and West Bank (mainly in Area C). Building on this solid experience, the project aims to enhance the access of children with and without disabilities to education services in emergencies. The project will respond to the objective identified by the Education Cluster within the allocation, namely objective “1” Supporting the mental health and psycho social well-being of students, parents and educators in oPt, through MHPSS support and “2”, Increase equitable safe access to inclusive, quality educational services for vulnerable children, by identifying vulnerable teachers, parents and children with and without and provide to them PSS individual and group session, adding referrals for specialized services. Within the second component, the project will support the children’s return back to education, providing learning devises, remedial classes and technical support to teacher to develop tailored plans for children with disabilities and most vulnerable ones identified. HI will also support the provision of holistic services –alongside PSS kits - through referrals to other stakeholders in both components. The intervention outlines an exit strategy by enhancing capacities of counselors and teachers in continuing providing PSS support through peer-to-peer activities and to children and families themselves. Finally, the project assumes a direct service delivery - with HI being the unique implementers - and targets 1,913 direct beneficiaries.

It faces several challenges and obstacles as a result of prolonged education-related violations including attacks on schools and inadequate safe school infrastructure. These challenges have been significantly compounded by the outbreak of COVID-19. Based on assessment conducted by the MoE, it showed that the public schools in Gaza Governorate have recently witnesses heavy attack by the last escalation on Gaza Strip. It has resulted in a severe deterioration of the already precarious living conditions of the people in Gaza. Thus, this project will be implemented in Gaza Governorate and will target 10 public schools in Gaza Governorate (5 in East Gaza Directorate and 5 in West Gaza Directorate). The project proposed duration will be 12 months aiming at providing psychosocial support for vulnerable school students, staff and parents who have been affected by the education-related violations and COVID-19. In specific, the project will respond to the psychosocial issues faced by 1150 students aged from (6-15) and 100 teachers alike as a result of the coercive environment they are subjected to. The data of the target students will be obtained from MoE database, and will be verified by the project staff. The data verification will be approached by contacting the school counselors to get more data about the cases as well as organizing home visits to meet the student’s parents or caregivers who will provide the social workers and the psychologists more information about the students life. Also, the project will target 250 parents to ensure effective participation and community support for student during project implementation. In this context, this project shall be achieved through the implementation of the following activities: 1. Train the projects’ staff and schools’ counselors through conducting a package of trainings on: 1.1 Training on PSS methodology that will be adopted as a psychosocial tool to ultimately develop the personal and social skills of vulnerable students, and therefore improve their resilience and psychosocial wellbeing. 1.2 Training on “Remote Pscyhosocial Support” to equip the trainees with the skills needed to enhance the psychosocial services provided to teachers, students, and parents during the crisis. 1.3 ToT on “Psychological First Aid” (PFA) to equip the trainees with the skills needed to assess the immediate concerns and needs of an individual in the aftermath of a crisis. 2. Provision of individual and group counseling activities for the most affected students including students with disabilities. Also, structured psychoscocial recreational activities will be provided for students through the implementation of activities including psychodrama, puppet shows, theatre, storytelling, drawing, and music. These activities will be provided in cooperation with the schools’ counselors to improve the overall psychosocial wellbeing following the IASC guidelines, and use different methodologies developed by PSCF. 3. Provision of sessions on (PFA) and self-care targeting school student, teachers, and parents. Sessions will be age, gender and diversity friendly. 4. Conduction of joint child-parent activities for 100 families. These activities will be provided to enhance the protective environment of the students, improving the communication inside the family and a better understanding of each other. These families will also benefit from the PFA sessions. 5. Providing target schools with equipment and materials needed including LCDs, laptops and its accessories, so they can provide the essential psychosocial services for students during the crisis and other times. 6. To address the learning and psychological needs of the students with disabilities and students with development learning disorders, 4 resource rooms will be upgraded and 20 resource room teachers will be equipped with skills needed to run the activities in the room.Palestine Save the Children FoundationPalestine Save the Children FoundationoPt Humanitarian FundAfaf Al KhaldiProgram Manager082626285info@pscf.psGaza Strip31.35644200 34.32704700Education196291.4149241.49245532.90oPt Humanitarian FundPalestine Save the Children Foundation49106.58oPt Humanitarian FundPalestine Save the Children Foundation196426.32oPt Humanitarian FundPalestine Save the Children Foundation22.15Palestine Save the Children FoundationUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-21/DDA-3482/1SA/FSL/INGO/21053United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe project will contribute to the HRP strategic objectives 2 amp 3, the HF allocation strategy objective of supporting the livelihoods of food-insecure households in the West Bank and the FSS cluster strategic objective 1 to protect livelihoods of vulnerable households, and restore / enhance their resilience, food security and productive capacity. It will do so by ensuring rehabilitation and provision of productive assets and inputs for farmers owned lands in Area C located in 5 villages in Ramallah Governorate (Budrus, Ni'lin, Qibya, Rantis, and Shuqba). The selected areas are facing specific challenges to cultivate their lands due to different measures imposed by the occupation regime including settler violence, demolition, confiscation, the separation wall, and the annexation plan. The project is based on a needs assessment conducted by PUI in early December 2021 that identified the most pressing needs of vulnerable farmers and communities affected by the Israeli plans of annexation and subject to either settler related incidents or violations from the Israeli forces. In addition, PUI coordinated with FSS, MoA Central and MoA directorate of Ramallah, in order to identify and prioritize FSS needs, priorities, and localities in this Governorate. In order to respond to the identified needs and to contribute to the HRP, HF and cluster objectives of this first allocation, PUI and Al'ard will provide two types of assistance: - Support 330 vulnerable farmers working in lands adjacent to the settlements or the wall, whose livelihoods are threatened by occupation measures. Agricultural roads will be rehabilitated (10 km), which will increase a safe access to lands and contribute to preventing land confiscations. - Provide cisterns to other 10 farmers to enhance the supplementary irrigation to trees and crops in their lands that are subjected to attacks and intimidation from settlers or / and Israeli Forces. -Provide 20 women farmers whose lands are located in areas that require prior coordination with the Israeli authorities to access, or close to the separation wall with olive harvest machines to support the harvesting during olive harvest season. In total, 330 farmers’ households (1617 individuals) will benefit directly from the Action. Selection criteria for those farmers is depending mainly on the socio-economic vulnerability criteria. It is based also on technical criteria including topography of the land, slope percentage, soil depth, land ownership, and planted trees (in addition to protection and vulnerability considerations, including IHL violations, close to settlement, the separation wall, and access restricted areas, female headed-households, households with people with disabilities, etc.). The project will be implemented in partnership with Al'ard and each organization will bring their expertise to the partnership: Al'ard 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, and network) to strengthen its intervention during the lifetime of the project. PUI will also be vigilant in mainstreaming protection, gender and other cross-cutting issues throughout service provision. By recognizing the different needs, risks, and capacities of different age, gender and diversity (AGD) groups, PUI ensures tailored and safe responses for those who need them the most. Moreover, PUI has a robust reporting and handling system in place for Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA) related complaints.Première Urgence InternationalePremière Urgence InternationaleAl’ard for Agricultural DevelopmentoPt Humanitarian FundUnited Nations OCHA Financial Tracking Service (UN OCHA FTS)Anthony DutempleHead of Mission0562100050hom@premiere-urgence.psAlice VictorDeputy Head of Mission0562100051dep-hom@premiere-urgence.psWest Bank31.98598100 35.29994700Food SecurityOccupied Palestinian Territory Humanitarian Response Plan 2021276736.6039194.45315931.05oPt Humanitarian FundPremière Urgence Internationale189558.63oPt Humanitarian FundPremière Urgence Internationale126372.42oPt Humanitarian FundPremière Urgence Internationale10657.94Première Urgence InternationaleUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-21/DDA-3482/1SA/FSL/NGO/20969United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe proposed project targets 6 communities in the west bank in area C in Nablus governorate are suffering from high and severe occupation discrimination measures and negative consequences of COVID-19. These 6 locations suffer from settlements expansion and land confiscations in addition to continuous episodes of violence among farmers and settlers. Additionally, within area C, Israel retains near exclusive control, including over law enforcement, access and movement, planning and construction preventing people from accessing their natural resources (land and water), destroying agricultural lands amp animal shelters, water cisterns, uprooting planted trees, these actions forced displacing vulnerable families and disrupting their livelihoods which are against IHRL and IHL. The project aims at enhancing the resilience of 493 vulnerable farmers' HH s (capita 2414) including 688 women, 712 men, 495 girls and 519 boys serving 2950 dunums by improving the food security of vulnerable farmers taking in consideration all COVID-19 safety measures during implementation. This will be achieved through: land rehabilitation by fencing 400 dunums of agricultural lands serving 100 farmers’ HH (140 women, 145 men, 105 boys, 100 girls) in Beit Hasan and Beit Dajan. This activity will serve farmers by protecting their lands from wild and from livestock animals, some wild animals are released from nearby settlements. Farmers and village councils in both locations will cover installation fencing cost at their own expense as a community contribution. In order to improve productivity further the rehabilitated lands in the targeted locations (fenced lands) will be provided with seedlings at a later time since the planting season is not within project lifetime. Rehabilitation of 8 km of agricultural roads benefiting 240 Farmers' HH (335 women, 347 men, 253 boys, 241 girls), in Beita, Beit Furik, Beit Dajan and Beit Hasan. This activity will protect and improve accessibility and utilization of the served agricultural lands. These roads will also help firetrucks to reach wildfires. Agricultural roads rehabilitation includes several sub activities machinery work, base course and culvert. Moreover,1.5 km of water carriers benefiting 30 farmers' HH (42 women, 43 men, 32 boys, 30 girls) will be installed in Beit Dajan. This aims at providing agricultural lands with water which will enhance farmers’ and livestock breeders’ resilience in the targeted area. These water carries will help famers benefit from retreated water from water plant in the village. Furthermore, the proposed project will provide 80 olive harvesting equipment benefiting 160 Farmers' HH (223 women, 231 men, 169 boys, 161 girls) in Beita, Beit Furik, Salem and Deer Alhatab. This activity will reduce the threats farmers (especially women) face from settlers during olive harvesting season by reducing harvesting time. In these targeted locations, farmers need permission from Israeli side to get access to their lands when harvesting. Once the project is approved, a series of actions will take place to ensure good governance, participation and ownership, information and accountability PARC team will announce and formulate Local Committees (LC) in each location. These LC will have representatives from VC, Municipalities, CBOs, MoA, and they will participate and steer the project in order to ensure participation of local community, accountability in selection and reflect needs of the local community. It will ensure to maintain a voice to women from the targeted groups as project team will encourage women to participate in the LC. Then, tendering and contracting, where PARC and the local committees will ensure the best value of money for different services and quality. All activities implemented will be ensured to abide by protection of COVID-19 SoPs attached, do no harm and gender sensitive approaches.

The partial destruction of the Hala Al Shawa Center led to the suspension of the health services provided to the inhabitants of Biet Lahia. In response to the urgent need of patients for these services, AWDA, with funding from the OPT-HF, initiated the rental, furnishing, equipping amp operation of an alternative health center near Hala Al Shawa Center where services in general medicine, emergency, SRH, MCH, nutrition amp NCD management were provided, in addition to providing needed medication for patients free of charge, where the beneficiaries of this project reached (20,916) patients, of whom (3,513) from NCD services. At the end of the project, and due to the urgent need of people to access the health services in the absence of restoration amp operation of the Hala Al Shawa Center and based on the social responsibility of AWDA towards our people in Beit Lahia, AWDA has continued to provide the health services with nominal prices after the end of the project until today. Hence, the idea of this project is to repair and re-operate the Hala Al Shawa Centre by AWDA, to continue providing health services with focus on NCD, nutrition and mental health services these services are a top priority for people in the region and meet the 3rd priority of the 1st allocation for 2022. It is worth noting that the idea of the project was supported by the health cluster amp the MoH, where the MoH expressed its willingness to contribute to the operation of the center by providing part of the NCD medication. It is expected that the No. of the project services’ beneficiaries will reach (7000) beneficiaries between men, women, boys amp girls, including PWDs. In addition to the aforementioned services that the project will provide, AWDA will contribute to providing general medicine and emergency, SRH and MCH services, in addition to providing the necessary furniture amp medical equipment to operate the center. The local community will be informed about the project’s activities amp about the AWDA feedback, complaints amp response system to enable them to file complaints in the case of a decline in the quality of services or any manifestation of SEA. Responding to the beneficiaries’ gender needs, the staff in the center will be of both sexes, and to protect women amp girls, AWDA’s PSEA protocol will be implemented. The project services will be provided without any kind of discrimination on the basis of religion, gender, color, or political affiliation, with preserving the dignity amp privacy of the beneficiaries. In order to achieve the principle of accuracy in documenting the beneficiaries’ information, the HIS in force in AWDA will be applied in order to quickly access information amp extract reports. In order to ensure the sustainability of the provision of the health services at Hala Al Shawa Center after the end of the project duration, a MoU between the MoH amp AWDA will be signed, in order for AWDA to continue to operate the Hala Al Shawa center amp provide health services at nominal prices to the people, with the possibility of the MoH contributing with some medication according to the availability of its resources.

The proposal is based on the findings of a Rapid Needs Assessment (RNA) conducted by Terre des hommes in Gaza, West Bank including East Jerusalem in May 2021 amidst the crisis. The main health concern expressed by respondents was mental health, presented as stress, a psycho-social or well-being issue of importance not just in terms of current presenting symptoms and conditions, but in terms of future psychological and physical health. Children and youth are especially at risk, facing arbitrary arrest and risk of violence. The findings revealed that EJ is among the areas with the highest MHPSS needs as reported by the key informants' interviews, and that women and girls were among the most affected. Currently, there is insufficient provision of services: there are very few Palestinian specialised organizations providing services in Jerusalem. The project directly contributes to the SRP Objectives 2 and 3, as it strategically aims at creating conditions for CP and GBV prevention and response mechanisms to be accessible to 9 communities in hot spot areas in East Jerusalem, and Area C in Ramallah and Tubas, especially for people with disabilities. In East Jeursalem, the project will target Sheikh Jarrah, Old City and Shufat camp. In Ramallah, The project will target Deir abu Mushal, Saffa and Kufr Neimeh and in Tubas, the project will target Aqaba, Ein Al Beida and Attouf (Tamun). The action will strategically focus on strengthening community-based protection mechanisms, through building the capacities of Community-based organization service providers to provide qualitative and inclusive CP MHPSS and GBV responses. This includes adapting the MHPSS models to disability inclusion, capacity building and coaching of Community volunteers and CBO staff on raising awareness, providing MHPSS structured support, case management processes, safe identification and referral of CP cases and referral of GBV cases. In addition, the project will build their organisational capacity in disability mainstreaming, safeguarding and PSEA. The proposed interventions equip the targeted communities to establish functional community protection mechanisms, and enhance the sustainability of these services, which is vital, especially when formal protection mechanisms are lacking due to security conditions in area C and/or when lockdown is imposed due to COVID 19. The project project reflects good complementary among project partners, Tdh's technical capacity in terms of MHPSS, GBV and case management, YWCA through its long terms presence in targeted localities ( Jerusalem, Ramallah and Jericho) and strong connections with the targeted CBOs in the different localities, and Stars of Hope for empowerment of women with disability in disability mainstreaming throughout all project activities. The project will directly target 4024 persons ( 1026 males, 1018 women, 990 boys, 990 girls) including 370 persons with disability ( 170 women, 100 boys, 100 girls) and indirectly target 5000.Terre des Hommes LausanneTerre des Hommes LausanneStars of Hope Society for empowerment of women with disabilityYoung Women Christian Association- JerusalemYoung Women Christian Association PalestineoPt Humanitarian FundUnited Nations OCHA Financial Tracking Service (UN OCHA FTS)Vanda YounanHead Of Jerusalem and West Bank Office972549700748vanda.younan@tdh.chElizabeth CossorMCD Country Representative962777778174elizabeth.cossor@tdh.chWest Bank31.98598100 35.29994700ProtectionOccupied Palestinian Territory Humanitarian Response Plan 2021259207.46140792.54400000.00oPt Humanitarian FundTerre des Hommes Lausanne240000.00oPt Humanitarian FundTerre des Hommes Lausanne160000.00oPt Humanitarian FundTerre des Hommes Lausanne51.36Terre des Hommes LausanneUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-21/DDA-3482/1SA/PROT/INGO/21072United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe ever-deepening crises resulting from the ongoing blockade, occupation, and political rift have led to a progressive deterioration in the political, social, and security conditions of the Gaza Strip. Currently, the unemployment rate in the Gaza Strip is 53.3%, more than half of Gaza's population live in poverty, and about two-thirds of households are experiencing severe or moderate levels of food insecurity. The humanitarian situation significantly deteriorated recently after May’s escalation and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Compounding the situation is that families are pushed to resort to negative coping mechanisms as they lack access to essential basic services. The need for protection services for children with protection concerns, distressed adults and youth, and GBV survivors is very high and urgently needed, according to the findings of several studies, including the recently published Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA, 2021), the Rapid Needs Assessment conducted by Tdh (Tdh, 2021), and the qualitative assessment conducted by Tdh during the design of this Project (Tdh, 2021). This Project is a response to such dire needs. This project will meet the protection needs of 7,200 persons ( 3,305 children and 3,895 adults). The main activities under the Project will include (1) provision of MHPSS services and specialized individual case management to children who have protection concerns such as child labourers, out-of-school children, children with distress symptoms, and children exposed to different types of violence. Additionally, families with child protection concerns will benefit from cash assistant, joint child-parent interaction activities, and parenting classes. (2) provision of MHPSS services to adults and youth, including structured psychosocial services utilizing the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Protocol and conducting awareness sessions through organizing group discussions with targeted adults and youth to discuss ways of increasing resilience, using positive coping mechanisms, and using positive ways to deal with stress. Finally, (3) provision of multi-sectoral responses to GBV survivors, mainly for women and girls. The multi-sectoral responses will involve the provision of structured and nonstructured MHPSS, cash assistance, and dignity kits. Furthermore, the capacity building of implementing partners is a core component of this project. The Project staff will benefit from different training topics, including specialized training on CBT protocol, followed by on-the-job supervision for 4 weeks, refresher training on child protection case management, PSEA Policy, how to conduct and facilitate structured support group sessions for GBV survivors, and refresher training of MHPSS manuals.

This intervention aligns with the 1st Standard Allocation 2021 Strategy Paper and the 2021 oPt Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) and will be implemented by AAH in partnership with the Rural Center for Sustainable Development (RCSD). Wadi Salman, one of the most vulnerable communities in Area C, will be targeted in this intervention. This community is extremely exposed to protection threats including risks of demolitions from the Israeli Civil administration and the risks of forcible transfers. It is also suffers 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 all family members. The intervention will provide a full coverage to the shelter needs in the community and all families will receive assistance to rehabilitate their own shelters. Female-headed HHs will be targeted, using AAH material assistance ranking tool which will play an integral part in the selection and design of project activities based on the customized needs. The project activities will be articulated around the provision of urgent rehabilitation and upgrade assistance of the existing shelters prioritizing vulnerable groups in the community with customized solutions. Specifically, the intervention will provide rehabilitation for 67 shelters in the community covering 67 families (292 beneficiaries: men 81, women 80, boys 67, girls 64) based on a full coverage/solution for shelter needs in the community through a mixed approach of cash and in-kind assistance. This intervention will improve the living conditions of the families and would contribute to removing the community from the list of communities categorized for urgent shelter needs allowing for focus on other communities in future interventions. The intervention will also address WASH needs in the targeted facilities by upgrading WASH facilities in the shelters. AAH and through cash-based intervention will support the households in upgrading/rehabilitating the WASH facilities including provision of kitchen sinks, water taps, rehabilitation of sanitation facilities at HH, and any other required improvements. The specific needs of of each HH level shall be identified jointly between AAH technical and project teams and the family members (with focus on Women). These needs shall be identified utilizing a tailored need assessment survey. AAH and RCSD have extensive experience in shelter projects and a strong understanding of the current protection and legal concerns of Area C communities. AAH will focus on the technical part of the project, benefiting from the wide experience the team accumulated over years as a lead in the materials assistance component in the humanitarian sector in the West Bank, while RCSD shall focus on the data collection including baseline amp endline processes and the analysis of these data as well as field support with the interventions under this project. The partners will ensure that the community is actively engaged in all 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 shelters, increase ownership and self-awareness of rights. Prior to implementation, the selected HHs 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 HHs, as these families may not be able to conduct maintenance and/or afford another summer and winter within their existing shelter conditions.Fundacion Accion Contra El Hambre (Action Against Hunger )Fundacion Accion Contra El Hambre (Action Against Hunger )Rural Centre for Sustainable Development (RCSD)oPt Humanitarian FundUnited Nations OCHA Financial Tracking Service (UN OCHA FTS)Dalia SbeihDeputy Country Director +972 543 326 550 dsbeih@pt.acfspain.orgWest Bank31.98598100 35.29994700Emergency Shelter and NFIOccupied Palestinian Territory Humanitarian Response Plan 2021462928.65462928.65oPt Humanitarian FundFundacion Accion Contra El Hambre (Action Against Hunger )185171.46oPt Humanitarian FundFundacion Accion Contra El Hambre (Action Against Hunger )277757.19oPt Humanitarian FundFundacion Accion Contra El Hambre (Action Against Hunger )XM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-21/DDA-3482/1SA/SNFI/INGO/21066United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe proposed intervention aims to support the most vulnerable households (HH) in the Middle Area, Khan Younis and Rafah governorates, which were heavily impacted by the harsh weather since December 2021, through the provision of cash to respond to urgent shelter repairs, as well as strengthen community-based preparedness and emergency response. The project will provide more sustainable solutions to mitigate the further risk of exposure to extreme weather conditions, including for instance the repair of damaged roofs, fixing windows and doors, or the repair of cracked walls. The project is thus fully aligned with the Shelter Cluster Objective 2 of the HRP 2021: “Vulnerable households exposed to harsh weather and protection concerns are supported to meet basic needs and enhance their coping capacity,” feeding into Strategic Objective 2 of the HRP, “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.” This intervention will be implemented through a self-help approach including the distribution of cash to the most vulnerable HHs for the repair of their shelters. In a context of exacerbated political tensions and economic downturns, intensified by the May-2021 hostilities and the difficulties to contain the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Gaza, assisting vulnerable HHs at risk to meet their most urgent shelter needs as well as efforts to build communities’ preparedness are of paramount importance. ACTED aims to ensure the protection of the HHs who were most impacted by the harsh weather since December 2021 and who are thus most at risk of natural hazards, notably for the most vulnerable groups, in particular women, children, PwDs and the elderly. The project thus aims at providing sustainable shelter assistance to the most vulnerable HHs affected by extreme weather and living in substandard shelters in Middle Area, Khan Younis and Rafah governorates. The project will increase their access to safe and secure shelters. It will enhance their capacity to cope with the risk of deteriorating living conditions through the provision of urgent and sustainable shelter interventions. This response thus aims at providing a more durable solution to the assessed needs to mitigate the further risk of exposure to extreme weather conditions, such as through the repair of damaged roofs, fixing windows and doors, repair of cracked walls, etc. In total, 148 HHs will be assisted: they will be provided with a cash assistance to conduct the needed shelter rehabilitation, and with the most needed NFIs, where required. To support the localization of the humanitarian response and ensure that even the most inaccessible beneficiaries are reached, ACTED will partner with Unlimited Friend’s Association for Social Development (UFA) who will be responsible for conducting the assessments of targeted HHs and following up on implementation through field visits. In addition, ACTED will rely on two Community Emergency Response Networks (CERNs) existing capacity to implement activities throughout the project, reaching the beneficiaries, conducting the maintenance works, and supporting ACTED’s Complaint and Response Mechanism. These two CERNs were already established under former HF-funded projects, operate in the 3 governorates and are composed of 3 Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), 4 Community-Based Protection Committees (CBPCs), and 130 volunteers (176 individuals in total). Finally, the project design endorses all Shelter Cluster recommendations, notably through the implementation of a tailored assistance that includes the provision to 148 HHs of cash-based self-help approach for shelter rehabilitation based on their needs. This will maximise the impact on beneficiaries while fostering ownership and resilience of the targeted community.

PHC’s theory of change (ToC) underlies the development results in PHC’s Strategic Plan 2019-2023, and it underpins and further describes the priorities established in the Strategic Plan to support the different segments of the Palestinians. Therefore, the overall objective of the project is to respond to the immediate shelter needs of vulnerable populations in EJ. This response will follow PHC Results based management strategy will be through a self-help support approach for the most vulnerable families to provide shelter repairs and weather solutions of shelters aiming at: (1) Promote self-reliance, maintain, and support most vulnerable families with shelter-related solutions. (2) Enhance the protection and reduce the likelihood of displacement or forced eviction. (3) Contribute to solving the problem of overcrowding houses by creating new spaces through rearrangement. (4) Promote more environmentally friendly housing, cost, and energy-efficient building practices. (5) Enhance the economic situation for vulnerable families so reduces the probability of renting and/or regular maintenance. (6) Enhance the winterization and summarization conditions for the vulnerable families. PHC aims to achieve the optimum results regarding beneficiaries by defining the aptness support for emergency vulnerable families at a reasonable cost. To optimize the speed and volume of critical assistance, PHC’s proactive approach to emergency preparedness is in place to ensure early action is taken when required. It includes risk monitoring, the establishment of coordination and management arrangements, and preparing for joint needs assessments along with the Palestinian official bodies especially MoSD, MoJA, CBO’s, SC, and OCHA. The official bodies will provide and support services inside the community using available resources and skills. In addition, PHC has its internal Program Committee PC (50 per cent are females) that is tasked to set the eligibility criteria of applicants and to track and monitor the project progress. The PC will screen the applications and raise the most vulnerable cases to the Advisory Committee for the final selection. PHC also has an External Advisory Committee (30 per cent are females), which consists of community representatives who acquaint with the areas of the target group and familiar with their needs and challenges to support the program implementation and participate in the selection of the beneficiaries according to shelter conditions and socio-economic situation of families. To increase beneficiaries' coping capacity and to contribute to building resilience, PHC involves beneficiaries in the different stages of the project cycle. One of the assessment criteria is to involve the families in determining their needs, especially FHH’s, the PWDs, and the elderly. Workshops with beneficiaries will be conducted to discuss the project components and to take into account any recommendations from the beneficiaries’ side in consideration in project design and implementation, to gather their feedback, complaints, and lessons learned in order to take suitable action accordingly. PHC will respond to 26 vulnerable families in EJ (about 132 Direct beneficiaries) with a total budget of ($287,220.35). This program provides financial support in the maximum amount of $12,500 and an average of $8,000 to Palestinians living in EJ. The methodology for identifying the level of interventions for rehabilitation will follow the policy of PHC’s Rehabilitation Program that is based on the current physical conditions of houses, poverty level, and the income level of people living in.

This multisectoral project aligns with AAH’s 2021 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) (HPSE21-WSH-171018-1) and the clusters’ strategic objectives. In addition, the project comes in line with the pillars of the Inter Cluster Coordination Group (ICCG) Action Plan for Hebron H2 area. This project presents a pioneering intervention in intersectoral collaboration (WASH in Agriculture) in Area C by providing access to sewer services for vulnerable households (HHs) alongside providing more opportunities for agricultural and irrigation solutions as well as introducing solutions to enhance the communities’ resilience to the negative consequences of climate change and supporting more environment-friendly practices in Area C. Through this project, vulnerable families living in H2 and in Um Sidra will have improved access to sanitation and hygiene services, in particular the families living in the ‘closed military zone’. In addition, the project targets Um Sidra community in Hebron governorate to provide a sewer network system with a treatment plan that would assist the community in securing access to a sewer system and in providing more environment friendly living conditions as well as assisting the community in agriculture in terms of securing processed water for agricultural usage. The project is based on the identified needs and in line with the coordination process with the relevant stakeholders Hebron municipality, Palestine Water Authority (PWA), the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), and local councils and communities’ representatives in both areas. The project includes two main interventions: first, the construction of a sewer water network for a targeted neighborhood in H2 Area (Al-Kassara) to connect 400 HHs with a sewer network. This network will connect the houses in the area to a sewer lifting station constructed by the Hebron municipality(Annex 1 Hebron municipality letter). This will entail joint implementation with the municipality which will implement the structural and electromechanical work of the lifting sewage station in line with this intervention. Second, construction of a sewer water network to connect 40 HHs with a small-scale sewage treatment plant in Um Sidra community. This will be a pilot intervention that provides a complete solution for the sewer problem in the community, where the sewer water will be treated and used for irrigation and public purposes. Most of H2 HHs do not have adequate access to sanitation facilities due to the lack of proper infrastructure in the Area. The HHs rely on the construction of septic tanks to discharge wastewater, which adds many financial and environmental risks to the already existing risks in the area. The same for Um Sidra community, which is located in Area C to the south of Ramadeen town and suffers from lack of sanitation services in addition to other risks pertaining to its location. The intervention will provide treated water for multi usage trees and forage irrigation as standardized by the permitted laws, increasing green areas in the community, arboreal farming, and treated water usage for other public use. This activity is expected to meet one of the most urgent WASH needs of the targeted families and to alleviate their suffering, improve access to services, and enhance their resilience. AAH has an extensive experience of working in H2 area and other sensitive locations in Area C, and a strong understanding of the current protection concerns and legal situation. AAH will promote active engagement of all partners and community members during all phases of the project to ensure a community-based approach, wide participation and sense of ownership and awareness of their rights.

Operating under heavy security and restrictions, the Kerem Shalom crossing from Israel to the Gaza Strip is currently the only entry point for the movement of all cargo into Gaza, these have been limited to only certain types of items such as food, NFIs and medical equipment for commercial and humanitarian sectors. Other urgently needed items such as spare parts for WASH infrastructure remain restricted and require sometimes lengthy coordination processes that are not adequate to respond to emergency needs in the scale that are emerging in Gaza right now. In view of the present situation in Gaza and the increased requirements in humanitarian assistance for the population of the Gaza Strip, it is urgently required to scale up and augment existing logistics capacity and coordination mechanisms to overcome the likely logistics bottlenecks arising from the on-going conflict. WFP will, in its capacity as Logistics Sector Lead and based on a request from humanitarian community the ground, respond to these increased requirements by strengthening the logistics set-up and staffing structure. This will provide the needed coordination and operational structure to ensure the efficient and timely delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza.World Food ProgrammeWorld Food ProgrammeoPt Humanitarian FundYasmine AbuelassalPartnerships Officer 0546773170yasmin.abuelassal@wfp.orgGaza Strip31.35644200 34.32704700Coordination and Support Services75185.5968999.44144185.03oPt Humanitarian FundWorld Food Programme144185.03oPt Humanitarian FundWorld Food ProgrammeXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-21/DDA-3482/3RA/CSS/UN/19119United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsOn behalf of the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT), WFP will take the lead in coordinating and managing the Inter Agency Common Feedback Mechanism (CFM) in connection with delivery and impact of humanitarian assistance programs in Palestine and ensure 2-way communication channel with affected communities. The CFM will be in the form of a toll-free, country-wide number that affected populations can call to obtain information on humanitarian assistance programs submit their feedback and get referrals to the humanitarian organizations that are best-suited to handle their issues. The CFM will enable the humanitarian community to collect feedback directly from the affected populations better understand the needs on the ground and take better informed decisions. In emergencies where Sector Approach is activated, best practice recommends using a single phone number as an entry point for queries from affected populations. Hence, a coordinated mechanism to international humanitarian architecture allows members of the affected population easier access to answers, speeds up the resolution of issues and allows greater access for humanitarian decision-makers, including Government, thereby improving aid delivery efficiency. The CFM will be managed by WFP who will work with existing service providers to ensure the immediate scalability of the service with sufficient call agents offering the highest quality performance-driven services, through multi-communication channels. The CFM will systematically receive calls, complaints/requests from the affected population with the goal to address such calls taking account of the different needs within communities from an age, gender, and diversity perspective. Needs and priorities will be circulated to response partners through agreed feedback pathways, agreed case management and referrals, and workflows (to be agreed on with interested Agencies), which include guidance on response time to feedback to ensure feedback loop closure, document programme adjustment and to build trust with affected communities. As Accountability to Affected Population is a key connector in the emergency, early recovery and development nexus, the Palestine CFM will contribute to evidenced-based decision making as the response progresses. The Palestine CFM will be coordinated by WFP and the HCT. Needs and Trend’s analysis will be provided to the inter sector coordination group and the HCT. To help do this a strategic advisory group from NGO/ UN will be established. The CFM should be accessible for all Palestinians in Gaza Strip and West Bank including East Jerusalem, this might need two operators (a Palestinian communication company and an Israeli one for E-Jerusalem) World Food ProgrammeWorld Food ProgrammeoPt Humanitarian FundYasmine AbuelassalPartnerships Officer 0546773170yasmin.abuelassal@wfp.orgGaza Strip31.35644200 34.32704700West Bank31.98598100 35.29994700Coordination and Support Services85866.5262497.78148364.30oPt Humanitarian FundWorld Food Programme148364.30oPt Humanitarian FundWorld Food Programme0.21World Food ProgrammeUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-21/DDA-3482/3RA/EDU/INGO/19049United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe proposed project is in line with the cluster and MOE priorities to support the Education system after the May 2021 conflict escalation which is supporting the mental health and psychosocial well-being of students, parents and educators in Gaza, through MHPSS support (SO2). The proposed project fits under the multi-year NRC education strategy of ensuring psychosocial support in formal education, and supports the Education in Emergencies Strategic Advisory Group’s focus. It is a two-fold approach: i) implement 2 Winter Programs with PSS and recreational activities in 20 schools (10 in East Gaza and 10 in north Gaza) for 2 double shifted weeks in each school to reach 2,400 children (around 120 children per school) and ii) Provision of compensatory classes to 1,020 students, in 20 Ministry of Education (MoE) schools, during the first 4 months of the new school year. NRC works closely with cluster partners to ensure all the activities are coordinated and follow the cluster standards. The proposal is also aligned with the Covid 19 restrictions and measures to reduce the virus spread in the Gaza strip.

Specific objective of the program is to respond to children’s needs in terms of education and PSS support, ensuring them access to safe and repaired schools building and inclusive recreational and learning opportunities. The latest attack in Gaza strip has severely affected the already highly compromised education system, severely undermining the living conditions and access to basic services of the entire population of Gaza. The project intends to: repair n. 5 educational facilities, 4 KGs and 1 school, operating in the territories of Beit Hanum, Beit Lahiya, Um Al Naser and Jabalia, including the refugee camp, and that are presenting minor damages ensure the access for the children to safe and inclusive learning opportunities and the provision of non-formal educational services provide a specific training path to educators and teachers in order to allow them to deal with children in post emergency situation. The implementation of recreational activities through the organization of the summer camps, after repairing the educational facilities, is aimed at allowing children, youth and their families to attend a protected place, at the presence of a competent staff, which can ensure educational and psychosocial support. Moreover, by strengthening the capacity of KGs and schools operators (educators, social workers and teachers) the action will ensure children in Gaza to continue learning and to receive psychosocial support (PSS) support during the whole academic year. Training paths for the operators of the educational facilities were outlined in order to deepening the knowledge on how to recognize the most severe cases of post-traumatic stress among children in order to conduct referral activities for post emergency intervention.

This project will build upon Mercy Corps’ current oPt-HF funded cash project to further respond to both urgent crisis-emerged needs, and continually increasing needs amongst targeted vulnerable groups, whose situation has been additionally exacerbated by recent hostilities. Through unconditional cash assistance, this project will identify and select the most vulnerable households (HHs) in two groups of acutely vulnerable HHs: 1) vulnerable open land farmers from North Gaza and Gaza governorates, and 2) vulnerable HHs additionally impacted by the May-2021 crisis and on the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) affected households from North Gaza and Gaza governorates. Through this project, Mercy Corps and its local NGO partner Life and Hope Association (hereinafter Life and Hope) will target 705 vulnerable HHs (3,878 individuals), including 175 open land farmers, and 530 vulnerable HHs from North Gaza and Gaza. 1) Eligible vulnerable open land farmer HHs identified through combined HH vulnerability assessment and livelihood technical assessment. Each selected Farmer HH will receive cash support for 2 Dunums of open land with an amount of $1,000 in two installments ($500 each installment) in line with Ministry of Agriculture’s (MoA) recommended support value of ILS 1,500 /Open Land Dunum 2) Highly vulnerable and crisis-impacted HHs will receive $798 over three months ($266 monthly installments in line with the Cash Working Group (CWG) endorsed Survival Minimum Expenditure Basket (SMEB) value of ILS 878). 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 restore agriculture production capacity. Cash installments will be distributed through Electronic Debit Cards (e-cards) or via Cash over Counter through Bank of Palestine, which has extensive geographic coverage and is highly accessible through ATMs and Branches in North Gaza and Gaza. 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 Life and Hope will use the Proxy Means Test Formula (PMTF), and Technical Vulnerability Assessment Tool (TVAT) to identify, assess and verify selected vulnerable HHs to receive cash assistance, monitor activities, and ensure full coordination and engagement with the community and primary stakeholders. Mercy Corps will be the focal point of coordination with MoSD, and Life and hope will coordinate closely with MoA to obtain lists and cross-check names of affected households and affected open land farmers. 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 CorpsLife and Hope AssociationoPt Humanitarian FundSasha MuenchCountry Director+972549242295smuench@mercycorps.orgSamer MohsenSamer Mohsen+970599023531smohsen@mercycorps.orgGaza Strip31.35644200 34.32704700Food Security675803.87102008.13777812.00oPt Humanitarian FundMercy Corps466687.20oPt Humanitarian FundMercy Corps310983.45oPt Humanitarian FundMercy Corps778.75Mercy CorpsUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-21/DDA-3482/3RA/FSL/INGO/19097United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe planned action is fully in line with the 3rd reserve allocation objectives: Providing emergency and recovery food assistance, including cash, electronic voucher and in-kind commodities (Objective 1) and Restoring productive capacities and livelihoods of small-scale herders, farmers, and fishers (Objective 2). In addition, it contributes to the achievement of FSS’s (food Security Sector) objectives 1 amp 2 for HRP2021 respectively: Livelihoods of vulnerable households are protected, and their resilience, food security and productive capacity restored/enhanced Households suffering from limited access to food and to income opportunities are able to meet their basic food needs. The action is built on recent needs assessments that were conducted in May and June 2021 by PUI, PARC, UAWC through surveys and FGDS with the different vulnerable groups. It was also designed based on the continuous consultations with the Food Security S ector (FSS) and relevant technical Ministries (MoA, MoSD, MoL), key community leaders, and local partner Community-Based Organizations (CBOs). This project aims to urgently respond to the current essential needs of the vulnerable households of farmers and fishers, affected by the recent 11-day hostilities, in order to enhance their access to food and other basic needs, as well as restore their livelihood capacities. PUI and its national partner NGOs (PARC and UAWC) will identify and select the most vulnerable households among the following affected livelihood groups based on a combined household (HH) vulnerability and technical assessment: small-scale open-field vegetable farmers, greenhouse farmers, and fishers. Through this project, PUI and its national partners namely PARC and UAWC will target 675 HHs (3,713 individuals) , including 375 vegetable farmers, and 300 fishers from Gaza, Khan Younis, Rafah. 1) 275 small-scale open-field vegetable farmers through conditional cash support for livelihood. Each farmer will receive a total amount of 3,000 ILS in 2 installments to restore and/or enhance production capacity of open-field farming (2 dunums). (PUI+UAWC) 2) 100 vegetable greenhouse farmers through conditional cash assistance for livelihood restoration. Each farmer will receive a total amount of 3,000 ILS into 2 installments to restore and/or enhance production capacity in one dunum of greenhouses. (PUI+PARC) 3) 300 vulnerable fishers through one-off emergency multi-purpose cash assistance (MPCA), amounting to 878 ILS to address essential basic needs. (PUI+UAWC) 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 enhance their production capacity. Cash installments will be disbursed to beneficiaries using the “cash over counter” payment modality through the Bank of Palestine (BoP), which has the widest geographic coverage and is highly accessible by beneficiaries with branches in all governorates. It is worth mentioning that PUI has closely coordinated the planned Action with FSS, Cash WG, Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), Ministry of Labor (MoL), ACTED, AAH, Oxfam, CARE International, PARC, UAWC, and other key stakeholders working in the area of intervention. PUI will be directly involved in the coordination, supervising the implementation of activities, and MEAL process with the support of the three local partner CBOs. Additionally, PUI will promote community ownership, accountability, and participation throughout the project through baseline assessments, orientation sessions, Post Distribution Monitoring, and its Complaint and Feedback Mechanism, while also mobilizing key local partner CBOs to ensure that the identified vulnerable HHs are deeply engaged in the different implementation stages.

Farmers in Gaza strip in general have already been facing a very difficult season that has cost them big losses due to lockdown measures and movement restrictions on goods and people and the severe reduction of commercial activities imposed to contain the COVID-19 impact. Oxfam in partnership with ESDC will implement the proposed project in close coordination with MoA and FSS starting by requesting a list of 100small scale greenhouse farmers and 865 open field farmers from the Gaza and north Gaza governorates who have registered damages from the recent hostilities and are not receiving support from other parties. Based on the MoA verification of damages, it is expected that all nominated farmers will be eligible for support however this should be verified. The project team will conduct a rapid verification visit for the potential farmers through field visits to verify that they are able to repair the damages and are willing to start preparing for the next production cycle. After finalizing the selection process, the project beneficiaries will attend orientation sessions to explain the cash transfer modality and requirements. Cash will be conditionally provided through two installments. The cash transfer conditionality will be that the farmers planting their open field or greenhouse directly after the first instalment or if possible before it for the next production cycle and after that they will receive the second instalment. One week after the first installment made by the second week of August which represents 70% of the total amount, ESDC field staff will conduct first post distribution monitoring (PDM) that will cover all project beneficiaries and will observe the progress of preparation works for the next cycle. If beneficiaries face difficulties in initiating the planting process for the next cycle, the team will assess the reason in coordination with MoA to overcome any obstacles preventing the farmers from starting the next season. The second installment representing 30% of the total amount will be made by the end of September and will be followed by a second PDM which will target at least 50% of the project beneficiaries to assess their satisfaction with the process, the assistance in terms of relevance, timing and responsiveness. The cash amount determined for this project is based on the recommended amount agreed by FSS and MoA for the emergency response to affected farmers that is 500 USD per dunum of open land, and 1000 USD per dunum in greenhouses.

ACTED and the Arab Centre for Agricultural Development (ACAD) will propose an intervention to respond to immediate critical needs in the Gaza strip through the provision of (MPCA), and restricted cash grants to purchase agricultural assets and cover other expenses related to their basic needs. In total, 670 highly vulnerable HHs, representing approximately 3,685 individuals, will benefit from the intervention. ACTED and ACAD, a Palestinian Organisation which targets marginalized and poor communities by supporting their small agricultural enterprises, will build on their joint technical expertise and strong acceptance within target communities due to long-standing field presence, to implement the proposed activities: 1. ACTED will provide 520 of the most vulnerable HHs (around 2,860individuals) in all Gaza strip who have yet to receive assistance, affected by the most recent escalation of hostilities, with 2,634 NIS as three instalments of MPCA (878NIS per instalment), as per CWG's guidelines and as recommended by (MoSD) to ensure that they can cover their basic needs while recovering from the shock and build their resilience. MPCA will notably be provided to HHs with specific needs (i.e. pregnant and lactating women, families with children, families including PwDs), among the list of the most affected by hostilities , to give them flexibility in how to best meet their specific needs 2. ACTED will provide 150 of the most vulnerable small-scale farmers in Rafah, Middle Area and Khan Younis governorates with restricted cash grants of a total worth of around 3,000 NIS divided into three instalments. The grants will support these farmers in buying agricultural inputs. Ultimately, farmers and their HHs (825 individuals) will be supported in recovering from the loss or reduction of income as a result of the recent escalation in hostilities, while also ensuring the continuity of food production activities, and thereby ensuring food supply remains stable and covers consumers’ nutritional needs. These cash assistance will be provided over a period of 2 months, considering the needs related to the seasonality, in order to ensure the best effectiveness of the assistance provided. The cash grant will be distributing with the first two instalments each representing 40% of the total amount (1,200 NIS) and the last one accounting for the last 20% (600 NIS). ACTED will also allow these farmers to spend part of these grants to cover costs related to their basic needs, while recovering from the recent shock. The selection processes will prioritize extremely poor beneficiary (HHs or farmers) who lost or significantly reduced their source of income, of livelihood due the hostilities, as well as specific vulnerable groups such as female-headed HHs, HHs with children, elderly members, and people with disabilities. The proposed intervention is in line with the FSS’s objectives of the Third Reserve Allocation Strategy Paper: (1) Providing emergency and recovery food assistance, including cash, electronic voucher and in-kind commodities and (2) Restoring productive capacities and livelihoods of small-scale herders, farmers, and fishers, both directly linked to the Humanitarian Response Plan Strategic Objective 3. The proposed activities were developed in full coordination with the Food Security Sector (FSS), FSS partners such as PUI and AAH, MoSD, MoA, and using a bottom-up participatory approach based on information gathered in the field through ACTED’s CBPCs. The intervention will allow ACTED to scale up its existing food security response in Gaza, and is easy to scale further in order to reach more vulnerable HHs, based on the FSS’ priorities and available funding.Agency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentAgency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentThe Arab Center for Agricultural Development (ACAD)oPt Humanitarian FundGinny HaythornthwaiteCountry Director+970 598111809ginny.haythornthwaite@acted.orgMarie Scotto Junior Project Development OfficerN/Amarie.scotto@acted.orgGaza Strip31.35644200 34.32704700Food Security608196.7291803.28700000.00oPt Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development280000.00oPt Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development420000.00oPt Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-21/DDA-3482/3RA/FSL/INGO/19262United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsLong-simmering confrontations in East Jerusalem triggered an escalation of hostilities across Israel and oPT in May 2021, as well as large-scale intercommunal violence in numerous cities throughout Israel, East Jerusalem, and the West Bank. The series of events culminated in a sustained and heavy bombardment of Gaza which caused a significant number of deaths, displacement, and damage (both physical and psychosocial) in addition to further disrupting the response in Gaza following months of challenges generated by the coronavirus pandemic. Save the Children’s project will address the aftermath of the 11-day crisis and unrest, which coincided with a renewed surge in COVID-19 cases in Gaza and, as a result, exacerbated the already-fragile conditions in which many families and communities live. In particular, the proposed action will support the immediate Food Security needs of households and communities who are exhibiting extreme and multiple vulnerabilities in Gaza. This will be achieved through the distribution of food electronic vouchers to help recover from the combined shock of the May hostilities and COVID-19 restrictions, while further acting as a strategic preparedness measure for future emergencies and continuing economic downturn resulting from pandemic-related restrictions. Save the Children’s proposed response is fully aligned with Cluster priorities and is an integral part of the Humanitarian Country Team’s (HCT) May Flash Appeal and 3rd Reserve Allocation Strategy. Individual sectors and interventions have been carefully selected on the basis of our organizational expertise and footprint in the affected areas. As defined by the allocation strategy, a special focus is given to critical but underfunded priorities, with an aim to alleviate the most urgent needs of vulnerable families in Gaza while creating the conditions for enhancing household-level resilience, and psychosocial recovery and wellbeing. The intervention will target 500 War-affected vulnerable families, families with children not targeted by other interventions, and families who lost their primary source of livelihood and/or income during the escalation. Each HH will be provided with monthly vouchers covering their food needs for four months. The value of the voucher will be based on CWG recommended Minimum Expenditure Basket (MEB) for Food covering basic food items and fresh food including fruits, vegetables, and meats.Save the ChildrenSave the ChildrenoPt Humanitarian FundMaher TurjmanResource Mobilization and Reporting Manager0599648024maher.turjman@savethechildren.orgGaza Strip31.35644200 34.32704700Food Security313811.75124566.49438378.24oPt Humanitarian FundSave the Children175351.30oPt Humanitarian FundSave the Children263026.94oPt Humanitarian FundSave the Children19810.17Save the ChildrenUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-21/DDA-3482/3RA/FSL/NGO/19012United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThis project aims to respond urgently and support vulnerable farmers who were affected by the May 2021 hostilities in Gaza, in order to maintain their livelihoods. This proposed project is aligned with the 2021 OCHA Flash Appeal, falls with the 3Rd reserve Allocation Strategy Paper, and contributes with Humanitarian Response Plan 2021. The project will contribute to the 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" and also responds to the food security sector objectives#2: Livelihoods of vulnerable households are protected, and their resilience, food security, and productive capacity restored/enhanced. This project will be implemented in a partnership between local NGOs. The first one is the Palestinian Al Nakheel Association for Progress and Development (Al Nakheel) in Khan Younis and the Middle area. The second one is the Palestinian Center For Organic Agriculture ( PCOA) in Rafah. The project will target 260 open-field vulnerable farmers affected in the last round of hostilities in Gaza ( 45 farmers in the Middle area,115 farmers in KhanYounis, 100 farmers in the Rafah ) at least 26 female farmers Selecting criteria will focus on female farmers who are the head of household, own lands, and actually practice agriculture by themselves. This aims to maintain their livelihood after the shock caused by the hostilities in Gaza, to reactivate their production, and to plan for the next production cycles. Each farmer will benefit from cash assistance for two dunums. The total number of dunums that will be restored is 520 Dunums. The Unconditional and Restricted cash assistance for each open field farmer will amount to 3000 NIS (equals to 925 USD) per affected farmer. This amount should cover the reactivation process for production and plan for the next production cycles for two dunums open-field. The cash disbursements will be paid in three installments as follows: - 375 USD at the first installment for each beneficiary. - 300 USD second installment for each beneficiary -250 USD as the final installment for each beneficiary Al Nakheel will prepare a standing order to the bank include the names of beneficiaries, ID number, the amount value of installment in each installment. Al Nakheel and PCOA have closely coordinated the planned activity with the ministry of agriculture and FSS. Coordination will continue throughout the project. The methodology of implementation of the project was designed to be a commitment with all safety measures regarding the risk of COVID 19, before the implementation of the project, all mitigation measures including awareness of the project staff will be strictly commitment.

According to the rapid needs assessment conducted by PARC and the MoA report, one of the most affected sub-sectors is open fields, as the total amount of damaged (partially and fully damage) has reached 13,800 dunums out of 55,000 dunums representing 26% of farming areas. The project will immediately support farmers to reactivate their current production and the planned one for the next farming cycle, which is the 2nd objective in the Flash appeal that pours directly in the SO3 of HRP that states “the capacity of vulnerable Palestinians to cope with and overcome protracted crisis, including environmental threats is protected”. The project will also contribute to support small-scale farmers resilience in targeted areas in face of the deteriorated situation in the GS by providing them with cash to purchase productive agricultural inputs aiming to restore their productive capacities through a set of systemically planned interventions. the designed project will provide immediate support to farmers to restore their productive capacities affected by the hostilities and to enable them to enter the next farming season. 250 open land small scale vegetable farmers (25 female ,225 male) will be provided with cash assistance of 1500 NIS per dunums. each farmers will be supported of 3000 NIS equivalent to (930 $ per each) to purchase the needed agricultural inputs for 2 dunums ( 465 $/dunum) and the provision process will be aligned with the operational SOPs for safety and protection of C19 pandemic. The designed project will prioritize women headed households, widows with people with disabilities and elderly. The project is targeting the eastern areas of the GS (85 Norht,30 Gaza, 30 Diar Al Balah,53 Khan Younis,52Rafah), the selection process will be in full participatory approach of local communities and fully coordinated with MoA and other stakeholders including FSS and local community representatives (CBOs, CPCs, etc). To ensure accountability, transparency and avoid duplication and ensure synergies with other actors. This 6-month project will respond to the Flash appeal of 3rd reserve fund allocation May 2021 in saving and enhancing the agriculture-based livelihoods activities in the GS through restoring the productive capacities of 500 dunum by providing farmers with cash assistance to purchase agricultural in puts including (irrigation network, land plowing, land Sterilization, seedlings/seeds, and fertilizers) which is in line with the 3rd reserve allocation objective “restoring productive capacities and livelihoods of small-scale herders, farmers, and fishers” PARC has proven its competence in carrying out such projects due to its long-standing experience in supporting farmers and enhancing their capacities and resilience poor within different contexts.

The project will be implemented by FAO in collaboration with Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) and with direct coordination with the Food Security Sector (FSS).The main motivation of the project is to re-activate the local economy, fodder will be procured locally. This will avoid disrupting the local economy in line with the do-no-harm principle and contribute to re-activating it by scaling up local business operations. Considering the fragile security situation in the Gaza Strip, local procurement also avoids the access and movement restrictions that might delay or impede imports from outside the Strip. This project will target 25,200 individuals (total number of male/female to be confirmed with line ministries), who will receive direct support to enhance their coping capacities and productivity.

The need for emergency and recovery food assistance is critical considering the devastating humanitarian consequences of the recent crisis and is a lifeline for the affected families whose coping mechanisms have reached a breaking point. WFP regularly provides food assistance interventions reaching more than 260,000 of the poorest and most food insecure non-refugees across the Gaza Strip. The bulk of its assistance (218,200 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 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 (118,200). During the May hostilities, WFP scaled up its electronic food voucher assistance reaching around 100,000 people affected by displacement and scarcity. Almost half of these affected people are from the existing beneficiaries of WFP and the remaining are newly registered people. As part of its response under the Escalation of Hostilities and Unrest in the oPt Flash Appeal, 27 May 2021, WFP will provide electronic food voucher for up to 160,000 affected people. Through this proposal, WFP will provide e-vouchers for 12,948 newly affected people by May hostilities, who reside in the two governorates of Gaza City and North Gaza. Targeted families will receive for 3 months e-voucher card, or a digital code sent via SMS, credited with a monthly USD 10.30 per capita per month to purchase diverse nutritious food at 200 WFP contracted shop to meet their pressing food needs. The targeted beneficiaries are selected in coordination with the Ministry of Social Development to ensure assistance is delivered to the people in need. They are non-refugees, as UNRWA is responsible for the refugee populations, and are impacted by displacement and loss of livelihoods. WFP conducts cross checking of beneficiaries against list of beneficiaries of other partners to ensure no duplication of assistance.

The deteriorating political and socio-economic conditions in Gaza have negative consequences on children’s rights and ability to access education and access sufficient food. The last escalation has further compounded the already fragile situation leaving families and caregivers unable to fulfill the basic needs of their children. More than half of the people who were killed during the escalation were women and children (66 children and 40 women, and 150 men). Tdh Rapid Needs Assessment and the Flash Appeal have underlined the importance of providing integrated services that involve education, and food security interventions. With such a context, it is undoubtedly that the need for multisectoral interventions: education and food security is highly needed. The main activities under the Education Cluster will include (1) summer activities, and (2) self-care interventions to school staff and service providers. The main activity under the Food Security Sector is the provision of multipurpose unrestricted cash-assistance support to 110 households-891 persons. The cash-based support will be unrestricted to cover families’ full needs. The project interventions will be carried out by Tdh and 5 partners. Tdh will liaise with MoSD, and Education Clusters amp FSS to provide inclusive quality services.

Taking into consideration all efforts made to this field in previous projects conducted by the Ministry of Health (MoH) and World Health Organization (WHO), Médecins du Monde (MdM) is interested in strengthening the capacity building through training and supervision of healthcare providers in general primary care services within the formal health system. In the proposed intervention MdM will focus on the southern governorates (Rafah and Kahn Younis) of the Gaza Strip, by ensuring the proper integration of Mental Health and Psycho-social services (MHPSS) using the mhGAP approach, as recognized by MoH and WHO as the national MH integration protocol. The objective of MdM intervention is to strengthen the capacity of non-specialist healthcare providers at the PHC level, to identify, assess, and provide care to people with priority Mental, Neurological, and Substance Use (MNS) related conditions, with a focus on those with additional vulnerability, such as GBV survivors, People with Disabilities, Non-communicable diseases, and crisis and conflict. Following the last escalation of violence and its negative impact on the Gaza population's mental health wellbeing, PHC patients and visitors will also benefit from mental health awareness sessions to reinforce their resilience, their understanding of mental health-related topics and so the stigma. Also, even though Gaza might consider itself as out of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, this intervention will take into consideration all needed precaution measures to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 transmission among the communities and medical staff targeted. All MdM proposed interventions have been already coordinated with MoH, Health and Nutrition clusters, as well as WHO, in order to ensure the effectiveness, the efficiency of the intervention and to avoid any duplication or overlapping.

The north of Gaza Strip was the most affected by this aggression as it was bombarded heavily by artillery amp airstrikes. Beit Lahia, in the north of Gaza Strip, had its share of these attacks, where Hala Al-Shawa Center which belongs to MoH was severely damaged, this led to the complete suspension of the health services provided by the center, amp it needs reconstruction that may last for 6 months, which led to the deprivation of the patients in Biet Lahia area to access L2 PHC services that were provided by this center. Thus, the project idea is summarized in providing L2 PHC services to the affected community in Beit Lahia, through renting a place amp operating it by medical amp admin staff for a duration of 6 months until the reconstruction amp re-operating of Hala Al Shawa Center. Where UHWC will provide the rented place with furniture, equipment amp necessary instruments needed to operate it, amp the project will cover the shortages. In order to facilitate the beneficiaries' access to the project services, the place will be rented close to the Hala Al Shawa Center, taking into account that the place will be accessible for PWD. The provided services at the center will include: 1- SRH services. 2- Nutrition. 3- MCH Care. 4- Management of NCD. 5- General medicine amp emergency. It is worth mentioning that all these services will be provided free of charge including medication. It is expected that the project will serve 15,000 patients (women, men, boys, girls amp PWD). To document the No. of the beneficiaries and their information, the UHWC HIS will be used, which will contribute to the ease amp accuracy of the reporting process. The project idea was discussed with the Health Cluster Coordinator and Undersecretary of MoH where they expressed their support for the idea (support letter from MoH is uploaded in the document tab.). Moreover, coordination was made with the Ministry to supply the center with the needed medication necessary to operate the center, where they expressed their welling to support the center with part of the needed medication. As due to the sharp shortages at MoH in medication amp medical disposable that reached 50% amp 33% respectively the project will cover part of the needed medication amp medical disposable that the MoH couldn’t cover. Coordination was also done with UNFPA to provide SRH medicines amp they promised to provide part of those medicines, and UHWC will purchase the other part from this project, in addition UNFPA will provide contraceptives through MoH to cover the needs of all UHWC health facilities. In order for the local community to access information about the project’s activities amp to inform them about UHWC complaint system, 1 radio spot amp 2 Facebook ads will be published. Furthermore, a local committee will be formed that will consist of local community leaders amp activists to contribute to inform the beneficiaries about the project services amp encourage them to come to the center. To fulfill the Accountability to Affected People principle, 2 FGDs will be conducted in the middle of the project duration to engage the project’s beneficiaries in the monitoring process. Additionally, 375 questionnaires will be filled out by the beneficiaries to measure their satisfaction about the provided services amp to take their feedback amp suggestions to develop future strategic interventions. Moreover, the beneficiaries’ complaints will be managed through the UHWC complaints system. The project will consider the protection, dignity, impartiality, non-discrimination amp do-no-harm principles. UHWC PSEA protocol will be followed during the project amp the staff will be from both sexes as a response to gender needs.Al Awda Health and Community AssociationAl Awda Health and Community AssociationoPt Humanitarian FundJehan Al AkloukFundraising Manager00972599731994jehan.uhwc@gmail.comGaza Strip31.35644200 34.32704700Health269425.3815573.72284999.10oPt Humanitarian FundAl Awda Health and Community Association170999.46oPt Humanitarian FundAl Awda Health and Community Association113999.64oPt Humanitarian FundAl Awda Health and Community AssociationXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-21/DDA-3482/3RA/HNC/NGO/19057United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThis project aims at contributing to alleviate the effects of the recent round of hostilities affected the population of the Gaza strip compounded with the COVID-19 crisis, through the delivery of specialized mental health services to the most vulnerable women, men, girls and boys with and without disabilities.

Without adequate treatment, violent trauma can result in complex injuries, leading to life-long disability and premature death. WHO is continuing to respond to this emergency, but limited funding remains a major bottleneck in the delivery of life-saving care. This funding will meet the following objectives set up by the Health cluster in response to the needs on the ground: 1). Enhance the trauma pathway from the point of injury through to rehabilitation, and emergency care services, to reduce death and disability. WHO interventions will target 10,000 people in Gaza 2). Ensure essential health services targeting an estimated 28,000 registered patients with NCD management interventions and 70,000 injured people and their families with MHPSS interventions. In total, WHO interventions will target 98,000 people in Gaza with MHPSS interventions 3). Enhance information access for the 60 partners in the Health cluster by robust information management and tracking of supplies and support to MoH.

Some 242 Palestinians were killed, including at least 66 children and 38 women, and at least 1948 people were wounded. At least 3,222 families (over 16,600 people) saw their homes damaged, according to the Ministry of Social Development. The health system in Gaza, already overwhelmed by many years of blockade of Gaza, and by the longstanding COVID-19 pandemic, is significantly overstretched. Nine hospitals were partially damaged and 19 health clinics were damaged in the hostilities, including one that sustained severe damage. As in other humanitarian crises, women and girls bear much of the brunt of these hostilities, placing their lives, dignity and well-being at risk. There are an estimated 49,500 pregnant women in Gaza. Around 16,500 women will give birth over the next 3 months, and require access to essential healthcare services. Meanwhile, the risk of gender-based violence, including harmful coping mechanisms such as child marriage, often increase during crises, further endangering the lives and well-being of women and girls. This intervention will support 28,519 women, girls, and young people in Gaza with access to life saving sexual and reproductive health care, gender based violence services, and MHPSS through the following activities. Health: 1. Procurement of life saving sexual and reproductive health supplies for MOH and key NGOs. The supplies will support an estimated 14,850 pregnant women. 2. Procurement of contraceptives to ensure access to consistent family planning and avoid unintended pregnancies. The contraceptives will support an estimated 8,108 women (and their partners) to avoid unintended pregnancies. 3. Conducting community awareness activities for 3,000 community members on sexual and reproductive health, including where and when to seek health services during pregnancy, and mental health and psychosocial wellbeing for pregnant and lactating women. Protection (GBV): 1. Providing cash assistance to 1,000 women at risk of GBV, including an estimated 100 women living with disability. MHPSS (health and protection): 1. Psychological first aid training for 300 service providers and youth volunteers (200 sexual and reproductive healthcare workers and 100 trained youth volunteers). 2. Provision of psychosocial support for adolescents and youth through trained youth volunteers. 3. Conducting psychosocial support interventions through sport for vulnerable young women and girls. Women, girls, and young people with disability will be included in provision of supplies, PFA training, and MHPSS support.United Nations Population FundUnited Nations Population FundWorld Food Programme (WFP)Culture and Free Thought Association (CFTA)Palestinian Medical Relief SocietyRed Crescent Society For Gaza StripSave Youth Future SocietyThe Womens Affairs CentreoPt Humanitarian FundLaura MandelProgramme Analyst+9720542336436Lmandel@unfpa.orgKristine BlokhusUNFPA Representative+972549201341blokhus@unfpa.orgSana AsiGender Officer+972548174161Asi@unfpa.orgSima AlamiYouth Officer+972544447317alami@unfpa.orgOsama AbueitaSRH Officer+972599121191Abueita@unfpa.orgZiad YaishAssistant Representative+972548174018Yaish@unfpa.orgMustafa AbuMudallalaProcurement+972592017064abumudalalla@unfpa.orgGaza Strip31.35644200 34.32704700HealthProtection635791.6814207.64649999.32oPt Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Population Fund649999.32oPt Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Population FundXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-21/DDA-3482/3RA/PROT/INGO/19248United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsSave the Children is proposing an integrated Child Protection and Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) response targeting girls, boys and caregivers affected by the recent escalation of violence in Gaza. The project will provide mental health and psychosocial support services and child protection case management and referrals to conflict-affected children in all governorates in the Gaza strip. SC and Maan Development Centre will build on their common experience in addressing mental health, psychosocial and protection needs of children affected by crisis. In line with previous interventions we will keep supporting the Governorate Protection Focal Points and their role in assessing children and family needs, provide them with immediate emotional support, follow up visits and referrals to specialized services as needed. – The Focal Points will implement Save the Children’s home-based MHPSS model, a structured home-visiting intervention that was initially designed to respond to the needs of children and families affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The model was then adapted to respond to the MHPSS needs of children and caregivers affected by exposure to conflict and other extreme stressors, and it will be further contextualized for implementation in the current response. Children facing specific protection concerns will be referred to Maan case managers and a comprehensive plan will be developed to address their needs, aligning with international case management guidance, existing inter-agency SOPs for Gaza and the latest guidance on remote case management developed in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The intervention will include a tailored response for girls and boys facing gender-based violence in close coordination with specialized actors and civil society. Home visits and group activities will identify children facing specific CP risks and gender considerations, with outreach and identification strategies adapted to reach those who may be ‘invisible’ in the target communities. The results of the joint CP/MHPSS/GBV assessment planned by SC and War Child Holland will help define these strategies and further tailor project interventions. Children identified in need of structured psychosocial support will participate in a series of group-based sessions, following SC’s Child Resilience Programme approach already trialled successfully in Gaza. The MHPSS sessions will provide additional opportunities for the facilitators to identify the children in need of further support and to refer them if necessary for individual counselling, case management or other support. Structured parenting support sessions will assist caregivers in how to protect and support their children, how to understand their behaviour in time of stress and to develop positive parenting skills. Caregivers who participate in the group sessions are mainly those whose children are participating in structured PSS activities. This ensures that those children will receive the needed support at home and encourages a sustainable positive change in family relations. The project will also support children’s summer camps, providing children with space to express themselves and release stress through a range of age and gender appropriate recreational activities, while supporting their mental, physical and emotional well-being. The summer camps will also actively promote gender equality by enabling girls, who are often denied the opportunity, to participate in sports and recreational activities, with a unique and safe space within which to engage in physical activity. Finally, we will distribute 672 family recreations kits that are designed to help children have fun, engage in safe activities as a way to release their stress. The activities proposed in this project are all aligned with the CP/MHPSS sub-cluster scale up plan for the emergency response and agreed in coordination with other relevant CP/MHPSS actors in Gaza.

The proposed project will contribute to timely documentation and collection of evidence of human rights and International Humanitarian Law (IHL) volitions committed by Israeli military during the ‘Guardian of the Walls’ operation as well as ongoing IHLR/IHL violations committed thereinafter in the Gaza Strip, including grave violations against children. The project will also entail monitoring and documentation of human rights violations in the West Bank, with focus on grave violations against children, settler violence and excessive use of force against protected persons in East Jerusalem, H2 and Area C, with a view of intensifying international advocacy and information sharing to push for concrete actions. The project objective is directly linked to Humanitarian Response Plan Country Level Strategic Objective 1: The rights of Palestinians under occupation are protected in accordance with IHL and IHRL, and linked to strategic result statement 1 of the Protection Cluster: 1. Increased respect for International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights Law and Accountability for Violations. The project will be implemented by three independent human rights organizations which are Al-Haq, Al-Mezan and PCHR, and it will last for six months starting from June, 2021. The activities of the project will vary between monitoring and documentation, reporting of the violations and advocacy activities to push for actions against these violations. Additional fieldworkers/researchers will be deployed in the Gaza Strip to support existing fieldworkers (senior fieldworkers) to complete documentation of incidents of violations recorded in the recent military offensive, inter alia, incidents of killings, maiming of women and children, damage and complete destruction of buildings, vehicles, farmlands, livestock farms, water wells, schools and other public institutions. Lawyers will also support in documentation of key incidents and collection of affidavits to build legal case files for future engagement with international justice mechanism. About fifteen thousand violation forms are expected to be completed through interviews with victims and/or witnesses before being verified and inserted into electronic database, with supporting evidence, including official documents, testimonials and affidavits. Partners expect to conclude the documentation related to the 11-day offensive within the first three months of the project. The collected information will be utilized for publication of regular weekly and monthly updates on violations in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, a number of thematic reports/factsheets, multiple audiovisual material, and one comprehensive report on the recent military offensive on Gaza, all of which will be widely circulated through implementing organizations’ websites, social media accounts and mailing lists. Field data on the recent military offensive as well as ongoing human rights violations in Gaza and the West Bank will also shape and feed into implementing organizations’ international advocacy, including submissions to and communications with UN mechanisms, particularly the Human Rights Council 47th and 48th regular sessions, the UN Special Procedures, and the UN HRC Commission of Inquiry.

It also supports the achievement of 2021 HRP, specifically 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 IHL”. The project is needs-based designed and tailored on the findings and recommendation of the Flash Appeal of May 2021, Education Cluster including Summer Activities Working Group: Protection Cluster including the Mining Action Working Group (MAWG). It responds to the identified priorities of the Third Reserve Allocation: ensuring that children can access safe and inclusive learning opportunities through the provision of non-formal education services and reducing deaths and injuries caused by Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) and Explosive Ordonnance Disposal (EOD). The project will implement Inclusive Summer Activities targeting 1,860 boys and girls including 700 children with disabilities in the 5 governorates of the Gaza Strip to support vulnerable children psychologically affected by May 2021 escalation. Caregivers, family, and community members will participate during the open-day session where the participants will present the recreational activities outputs. The action is built on the previous experience of HI in implementing inclusive summer activities for boys and girls with and without disabilities since 2015. In addition, two local implementing partners with extensive experience (more than 20 years) on the provision of community recreational and non-formal education activities and summer activities have been selected: Tamer Institute for Community Education (Tamer) and The Culture and Free Thoughts Association (CFTA). The summer activities will be designed in session of 2 days each, 6 sessions will be implemented in each governorate targeting between 60 to 70 boys and girls each session, in line with the MoE COVID indications. The summer activities will include, sport activities, expressive and creative art activities, cultural and life-skills activities and adolescents led-initiatives. CFTA and Tamer facilitators and animators will be trained by HI to develop their skills and knowledge to adapt summer programs activities, materials, and equipment for the use of children with disabilities and ensuring their inclusion. Within its second outcome HI will conduct a Needs Assessment on EORE to identified risk area, vulnerable target groups and mean of communication setting priorities and support the coordination with other relevant actors (i.e. Demining Working Group members) avoiding duplication and more important exclusion of persons at risk.

A total of 242 Palestinian, of whom 67 are children (44% boys), were killed and around 1,948 people injured (including 610 children). As of 24 May, the education cluster received reports indicating that at least 57 education facilities including 46 schools have been affected and/or damaged in Gaza affecting 42,845 children. 670 children have been injured. The escalation has also had a significant impact on the mental health and well-being of the children and their families. Additionally, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of tracing requests to locate Palestinian children detained by Israeli Forces in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and Children exposed to violence by settlers and Israeli Forces increased dramatically. UNICEF and the Protection cluster are working with local partners, to respond to the protection needs in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank including East Jerusalem. The proposed project aims to address the protection and psychosocial needs of both children and caregivers affected by the recent escalations, through the provision of case management, psychosocial support first aid, group and individual counseling, in addition to other indirect briefing activities and awareness-raising on positive parenting and protection from Explosive Remontants of War (ERW). UNICEF and the WASH cluster are working with local partners to undertake specific short-term WASH interventions aimed at restoration of services to the affected population in the Gaza Strip. The proposed project will complement other ongoing efforts in service restoration, consistent with the WASH sector strategic objectives. The project will focus specifically on supporting the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU) and other local partners to undertake urgent repairs on damaged sections of the water network in Gaza City. The project is aimed at restoring water supply services for 527,000 affected persons and is expected to contribute to a complete WASH package in the target localities. The proposed project will include the procurement of required pipe repair materials and support with repairs and rehabilitation services. The complementary WASH project will cost $300,000 and with a duration of 180 days.

This will be achieved through the provision of cash for partially damaged shelter repair and the distribution of essential NFIs to vulnerable HHs furthermore, a complimentary cash assistance for transitional shelter and one-off reintegration package will be provided to most vulnerable IDPs, as well as the provision of cash for NFIs and/or adaptation works, contributing to reduce hosting and IDPs families’ vulnerabilities. Throughout the implementation of all activities, COVID-19 prevention measures will be integrated to ensure the safety of beneficiaries and staff. Specifically, ACTED and the local implementing partner Unlimited Friends Association for Development, will implement a multi-pronged approach in Middle Area, Khan Younis and Rafah governorates to restore shelter and NFIs standard needs of vulnerable households and IDPs, through the following means: - Conducting a technical assessment to define precise needs for shelter repair on partially damaged shelters and NFIs through the production of detailed Bills of Quantities (BoQs) and their subsequent remedy through clear workplans - Providing cash assistance and technical support for shelter rehabilitation and upgrade to the most vulnerable households - Providing in-kind NFIs to the same vulnerable households living in partially damaged houses, where needed - Providing on-the-job coaching and mentoring of Community-based Protection Committees (CBPCs). In total, the project will directly benefit 280 households in the Middle Area, Rafah and Khan Younis governorates, comprising 1,596 individuals and 18 members of CBPCs. First, 203 households living in partially damaged homes and in need of urgent restoration will benefit from both the provision of restricted cash repair assistance for minor/partial damages (activity 1.1.9) and in-kind NFIs distribution (activity 1.1.10). In addition, 18 CBPC members (of 3 CBPCs) will be monitored and receive on-the-job coaching (activity 1.1.7). 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 refreshed about 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. The proposed intervention is in line with the Shelter cluster’s objective 1,3 and 4, and has been developed and will be implemented in coordination with the Shelter Cluster, the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) and other shelter partners, including PUI, NRC and MAAN.Agency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentAgency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentUnlimited Friends Association for Social DevelopmentoPt Humanitarian FundGinny HaythornthwaiteCountry Director+970 598111809ginny.haythornthwaite@acted.orgGaza Strip31.35644200 34.32704700Emergency Shelter and NFI404205.6195794.39500000.00oPt Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development300000.00oPt Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development200000.00oPt Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-21/DDA-3482/3RA/SNFI/INGO/19045United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe proposed project responds to the 2nd and 3rd Shelter/NFIs cluster objectives on 27 May 2021 "Undertaking urgent repair of uninhabitable homes to reduce the displacement caseload, relieve pressure on the growing need for homes and reduce risks for host and hosted families", and: "Undertaking selective repair for partially damaged homes and adaptation interventions for the most vulnerable groups, including female head-of-household, elderly, and PWDs" (both objectives are linked to HRP SO2). The project's overall objective is to ensure that 822 of the most conflict-affected and vulnerable people (144 HHs) are timely supported with urgent shelter repairs that mitigate harm and enhance their coping capacity includes: 1) Restricted cash for urgent repair assistance and restoration of 50 severely damaged homes 2) Restricted cash repair assistance for 94 partially damaged homes The targeted households under this fund are the families displaced from their damaged housing units in North Gaza Governorate (Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahia, and Jabalia) due to the recent escalation or returnees' families living in damaged housing units lacking physical protection and exposed to harsh weather, humanitarian and protection concerns. This project will complement ongoing NRC emergency intervention targeting the same areas designed to provide conflict-affected and displaced people with a three-month transitional shelter cash assistance (TSCA) and re-integration packages tailored to each household's needs. NRC fund will also cover hygiene NFI to improve hygiene practices and ensure protection against COVID-19. This support will be provided through phased cash payments and technical engineering support or -in exceptional cases- through a contractor approach to conduct urgent repairs up to the minimum shelter cluster standards to provide adequate living space conditions and improve privacy. The repair activities will focus on achieving physical and climate protection as a priority (especially for severely damaged houses) the second priority is adequate living space with working toilet and kitchen facilities and suitable sleeping and living areas. The beneficiaries' selection process will prioritize the families with the highest socio-economic and housing status vulnerabilities, focusing on people currently living in overcrowded conditions without age/gender-based separation in bedrooms, female-headed households with low incomes, and people with special needs including pregnant, lactating women, families with numerous children/dependants, elderly headed household with no support, persons with disabilities. This project is designed after sufficient consultations with NRC local partner, the shelter cluster and the Ministry of Public Work and Housing (MoPWH) to fill the current gap in short-medium term response and coordinated with active shelter partners to avoid duplication and ensure fair distribution of the limited humanitarian funds among affected communities across Gaza Strip.

Catholic Relief Services and its local partners Life and Hope Association (LHA) propose a 6-month emergency shelter project to support 900 Gazans repair severely and partially damages homes. The proposed project aligns with two Shelter and NFI sector objectives outlined in the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt) Humanitarian Fund 3rd Reserve Allocation Strategy Paper Objective #2: undertaking urgent repair of uninhabitable homes to reduce the displacement caseload, relieve pressure on the growing need for homes and reduce risks for host and hosted families and Objective #3: undertaking selective repair for partially damaged homes and adaptation interventions for the most vulnerable groups, including female head-of-household, elderly, and PWDs. The project will utilize a restricted cash, self-help approach to ensure the efficient delivery of assistance and household (HH) participation and ownership over the repair process. CRS will coordinate closely with the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (MoPWH) to identify HHs with severe and partially damaged homes and cross-check lists of identified HHs with the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) to prioritize Internally Displaced People (IDPs) for repairs of severely damaged homes under Objective #2 and the most vulnerable HHs for repairs of partially damaged homes under Objective #3. CRS will validate the needs and will coordinate with the Shelter Cluster (SC) to avoid duplication with other shelter actors and to maximize assistance impact. Working in the oPt since 1961 and with current programming in all five Gaza governorates, CRS and partner existing staff and established policies and networks will ensure successful implementation of the proposed project. CRS will ensure that this project benefits from CRS' robust Feedback, Complaints and Response Mechanism (FCRM) in order to ensure continuous efforts to meet participant needs and expectations during the life cycle of the project. CRS offers several channels for feedback in order to ensure accessibility, including a hotline and a WhatsApp channel that allows for two-way communication. As part of CRS’ commitment to accountability—both to participants and to donors—this project will conduct a workshop to ensure project staff are well trained on how to utilize the channels and provide appropriate FCRM outreach and visibility to project beneficiaries.

In addition, vulnerable families of hardship cases, including Female Headed Households, GBV cases, elderly, and PWDs, who reported minor shelter damages and have been living in poor housing condition will be supported to access dignifying and safe shelters. Different modalities have been suggested with considering to the type of damages, the vulnerabilities profile of the targeted families, the reported priorities, and the responsiveness and efficiency of the modality to provide for IDPs dignity and safety. The modality of implementation includes restricted transitional shelter cash assistance, restricted cash for urgent repair, and one-off cash reintegration package. The project will cover priority gaps in damaged houses in two governorates (Gaza City and the Northern Governorate) and ensure that the affected population has access to adequate shelter. A total of 242 families will be targeted (total individuals of 1460, including 334 girls, 333 boys, 397 women, and 396 men). This project aligns with the allocation strategy Cluster Objective 1 "Supporting access to adequate temporary shelter solutions to displaced persons through the provision of cash programmed assistance, alongside support to host families.", Objective 2 "Undertaking urgent repair of uninhabitable homes to reduce the displacement caseload, relieve pressure on the growing need for homes and reduce risks for host and hosted families.", and Objective 3 "Undertaking selective repair for partially damaged homes and adaptation interventions for the most vulnerable groups, including female head-of household, elderly, and PWDs.". This intervention will be implemented in close coordination with the shelter cluster and the Ministry of Public Works and Housing. MA’AN capitalizes on its community-based emergency response structure to support in the implementation process to ensure the accountability to the affected population. The implementation methodology has been set to manage different protection concerns associated with the internally displacement including the COVID-19 pandemic, risks of ERWs, child protection concerns, special needs of PWDs, and GBV.MA’AN Development CenterMA’AN Development CenteroPt Humanitarian FundEhab Abu HusseinProgram Director0599903097ehab@maan-ctr.orgGaza Strip31.35644200 34.32704700Emergency Shelter and NFI366372.32331808.89698181.21oPt Humanitarian FundMA’AN Development Center418908.73oPt Humanitarian FundMA’AN Development Center279272.48oPt Humanitarian FundMA’AN Development CenterXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-21/DDA-3482/3RA/SNFI/UN/19135United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThis project will support 135 non-refugee internally displaced families who have been displaced due to the May 2021 hostilities, to rehabilitate their housing so they may safely return to their homes. The housing rehabilitation intervention, delivered through self-help modality, will allow for 664 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) – including Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) to reduce their reliance on Temporary Shelter Cash Assistance (TSCA) and enable them to restore some degree of normality to their lives. The beneficiary selection process will be informed by UNDP’s infrastructure damage assessment and conducted in coordination with UNRWA and with the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, in order to ensure transparency and complementarity of efforts to reach those most in need and leave no one behind. The vulnerability of families will be taken into consideration while setting priorities, where priority will be given to women-headed households and families with disabled persons. The intervention is also urgently needed in light of the dire socio-economic situation in the Gaza Strip, particularly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Gaza population has become more vulnerable to humanitarian shocks and unable to meet their essential needs, cope with the displacement or repair damages of their homes during the recent hostilities. Building on the experience of previous conflicts, UNDP successfully developed Standard Operating Procedures, which include implementation through self-help modality and fund disbursement to beneficiaries utilizing local banks.

The proposed action aims to contribute to strengthening the capacity of essential WASH services and efficient delivery of critical WASH services to the vulnerable population affected by the crisis in the Gaza Strip. The intervention will address the emergent consequences of the recent round of hostilities affecting the Gaza Strip and its impact on the WASH sector. The action will contribute to mitigating threats and vulnerabilities challenging the WASH sector in the Gaza strip and will contribute to ensuring adequate and equitable access to WASH basic services at the community level and its implications at the HH level. The operation of 7 affected WASH infrastructure will be restored in Gaza and North Gaza governorates through repairing and providing critical maintenance materials and tools. The action will also support WASH service providers in maintaining the operation and productivity of critical water facilities lacking operation materials necessary to fulfil current short-term gaps. By the end of 2021, the CMWU will be responsible to continue to mobilise resources and collection mechanisms to cover the costs of required operation materials. The specific objective is to enhance timely, equitable and dignified direct access to basic WASH services by 400,000 individuals (97,684 men, 96,892 women, 100,444 girls, 104,980 boys) living in vulnerable communities in the Gaza strip. Oxfam and PEF will rehabilitate 7 damaged WASH infrastructures (5 water and 2 sewage networks) suffering from reduced operational capacity by 75% in 5 locations in Gaza and Gaza North (2 in Beit Lahiya and 3 in Gaza). The rehabilitation and maintenance works of targeted infrastructures will include installing UPVC and HDPE pipes, concrete manholes, fittings, and specific paving and/or tiling work to ensure sustainability. The operational materials will include provision of chlorine solution (Sodium Hypochlorite) for water disinfection to the 286 water wells for two months . The rehabilitation and maintenance works will be accompanied with community engagement activities to raise awareness and ensure that communities' feedback and recommendations are considered during implementation. This will include ERWs risk education for workers who will be engaged in the rehabilitation work. The proposed project will positively impact WASH services at the 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. Overall, Oxfam will be responsible for implementing the action in coordination with PEF, CMWU and relevant stakeholders to ensure access to systems, procedures, and standards in place to achieve effective, high-quality delivery based on the needed specifications and standards. Oxfam's particular added value will be in its ability to bring together multiple stakeholders, local authorities, end-users through its active participation in the WASH cluster and engagement with related stakeholders, ensure delivery of the action in accordance with the agreed-upon project action plan and budget in compliance to the OCHA programmatic, visibility, reporting, financial and procurement guidelines.

The action will last for six months and focuses on the rehabilitation of WASH infrastructure at household level in the areas of North and Middle Gaza Strip. The aim is to provide support through a Cash for material approach to 500 households and also includes the delivery of 500 PE tanks (1.5M3). A team of engineers will evaluate, in collaboration with the beneficiaries, the different needs for each HH in order to provide tailored solutions. Cash for work and cash for assets will be provided to the beneficiaries to perform the rehabilitation. Dignity, protection and safety of target households will be ensured through their involvement in planning and providing acceptable and tailored WASH solutions for each household. The commitment of the beneficiary is ensured all along the project, involving them in each step. Through this approach, for instance, HHs will appropriate the rehabilitation work activity, being protagonist of the tailored planning draft and also during the implementation phase, since they will lead the works and have to anticipate resources to complete all repairs before receiving the 2nd instalment. In this way, the beneficiary will not perceive the activity as a pure assistance action, but a participating one, requesting their active participation. Also, during field follow up and monitoring visits, all along the activity implementation, CESVI, ACTED and YEC, with the support of the CBPCs, will ensure to maintain and increase the beneficiary commitment through raising awareness, continuous support in problem solving and clarification/mediation of any issue in any phase of the project. Throughout the implementation of all activities, COVID-19 prevention measures will be integrated to ensure the safety of all beneficiaries and staff. The activities will be implemented by CESVI, ACTED and YEC. CESVI and ACTED are members of ALLIANCE2015 and as such have already started emergency response activities immediately after the ceasefire (21st May) with internal funds. The activities here presented will build upon this initial intervention and allow consortium partners to scale up thereby reaching a higher number of beneficiaries. 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. Project staff and Community Based Protection Committees (CBPCs) will be refreshed about existing referral mechanisms available for 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.

At households’ level, the conflict damaged the WASH services of hundreds of flats and houses of vulnerable and poor families drastically deteriorating their hygienic conditions and exposing them to further health risks linked to the increased likelihood of contracting transmissible WASH related diseases. Even before the recent conflict in May 2021, Gaza was affected by a dire economic crisis, which has been even further exacerbated by the secondary impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. With pre-conflict and pre-Covid baselines of high rates of poverty (53%), highest ever-recorded unemployment rate (46.7 %) (with youth and female unemployment even higher at 70% and 78% respectively), we can only assume that the situation has worsened with the latest unrest. This therefore translates in already vulnerable and poor families having an additionally reduced capacity to repair damages and purchase essential hygiene items. In addition to exposing many vulnerable individuals to unsanitary conditions, the fragility of the WASH environment may also jeopardize effective hygiene practices to prevent and control the active pandemic. This project will reduce health risks through household level WASH rehabilitations. As for the household level intervention, SC will improve the hygiene conditions 470 vulnerable households in North Gaza and eastern Gaza families through targeted and punctual repairs of the damaged WASH facilities in their homes and improve access to water by improving water drainage capacity . SC will select beneficiaries based on the vulnerability criteria and level of needs.

The assessment will consist of a multi-sectoral household survey employed among a representative sample of the affected population in both the West Bank and Gaza. Data collection will be implemented by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), drawing on the agency’s extensive experience in large-scale surveys and past experience collaborating with humanitarian and development actors to conduct assessments. The overall project objective is to directly inform joint humanitarian-development response planning based on the nexus approach that the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) adopted in January 2020, through the provision of comprehensive, multi-sectoral household data and inter-sectoral needs and vulnerability analysis. As such, the MSNA will be conducted in a collaborative, coordinated, and inter-agency manner, inclusive of a broad array of humanitarian and development stakeholders such as humanitarian Clusters, UN development agencies, local NGOs and civil society organizations, and representatives from the Government of Palestine. Assessment coordination will be channelled through an MSNA Steering Committee, established on an ad hoc basis for the duration of the project, as well as existing coordination bodies such as the UNCT Data Group and the Inter-Cluster Coordination Group. REACH will aim to target at least 65 humanitarian and development organizations within the oPt response along the course of the project, in both the assessment coordination and joint analysis activities as well as through the dissemination of MSNA information productions. REACH will lead the overall technical implementation of the MSNA and provide oversight to each phase of the MSNA research cycle: research design data collection, cleaning, and processing joint inter-sectoral analysis of MSNA data and production of the following key outputs: - 1 final clean and anonymised dataset - 1 static summary findings dashboard containing key indicators for the HNO PiN - 1 key findings presentation (presented in at least 3 inter-agency forums) The above outputs will include multi-sectoral severity of needs analysis and preliminary vulnerability analysis to be integrated in the HNO, as well as sector/cluster-specific severity of needs analysis and preliminary vulnerability analysis, to support Cluster coordinators in drafting the sector-specific sections in the HNO. The above outputs comprise the first phase of the Nexus MSNA, which will conclude at the end of the HNO process in-country. In the second phase (November 2021- January 2022), for which funds are still being sought, a full detailed multi-sectoral vulnerability analysis is anticipated to be produced, and key findings from both the humanitarian and development analyses will be presented in a final MSNA report.

Those include open field farmers, greenhouse farmers, and poultry farmers affected by the COVID-19 economic crisis and those severely impacted by weather events during last winter and early spring (heat wave). This has resulted in high losses of farmer’s produce, harvest and livestock and affected farmer’s coping capacities which are posing risks to mitigating upcoming stressors. Oxfam and its partner-Palestinian Environment Friends (PEF)- will closely coordinate the implementation of the proposed project with the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) and FSS. The list of targeted affected farmers is registered at, and later verified and assessed by the MoA. The project will specifically target 754 small scale farmers and their households (4,146 individuals) affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and weather events. Targeted farmers will be supported with vouchers ranging between USD 500 and USD 750. Targeted farmers have been selected in consultation with FSS and MoA with the following selection criteria: open field farmers with 5 dunums and less affected by winter storms and flooding, greenhouse farmers of 2 arches affected by winter storms, and poultry farmers affected by the April 2021 heat wave. PEF will carry out a random verification to a sample of 20% of potential list of beneficiaries to validate the data provided by MoA. Oxfam and PEF will carry out a rapid market assessment to evaluate the availability and prices of items needed by farmers to recover their lands and to continue carrying out their farming and livelihoods activities. The market assessment will also ensure that commodity voucher items are specified based on (a) types/classification of agricultural activities and (b) physical accessibility of farmers. Farmers will be provided with one-time inputs vouchers that will allow them to reach designated suppliers who will be contracted by Oxfam. Farmers will redeem vouchers with specific items within a 4-week period. PEF will monitor the voucher redemption in target areas to ensure suppliers’ compliance with specified restricted items. Oxfam will utilize its electronic e-voucher system (RedRose) to monitor the voucher redemption based on assigned prices identified during the market assessment. The use of the e-voucher modality will facilitate the real time monitoring of the voucher redemption and will enable Oxfam to report on the types of commodities that farmers will purchase (redeem). After distribution, Oxfam and PEF will carry out random post distribution monitoring (PDM) to collect feedback on targeted farmers’ satisfaction of the assistance provided.

Since then, the MoH has reported a cumulative total of 327,044 confirmed cases across the oPt as a whole, with 18,913 active cases (as of 4-May-2021, 16:00hrs). Regrettably, 3,551 people have died due to COVID-19, in oPt. Local authorities in the Gaza Strip have so far reported a total of 102,074 confirmed cases, out of which 11,964 are still active cases (as of 4-May-2021, 16:00hrs). 914 people have died in Gaza due to due to COVID-19. There are currently 1,000 new active cases a day in the Gaza Strip. Since the onset of the pandemic, the WHO office in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) and partners have lent their support to the Palestinian health authorities to prepare for and respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. With the increase in active COVID-19 case numbers and deaths over the last year and more since the first reported cases in the oPt, their efforts have been intensifying. The overall objective of this project is to help contain the human-to-human transmission of COVID-19 in the oPt focusing on the Gaza Strip. The project aims to strengthen and scale up the capacity to early detect COVID-19 and adequately trace contacts of confirmed cases in Gaza and to scale up risk communication and community engagement to improve the COVID-19 vaccination uptake.. WHO will support the Gaza health authorities in: (1) increasing COVID-19 diagnostics capacity through ensuring adequate and consistent supply of testing kits, and (2) increasing risk communication and community engagement to ensure adherence to effective public health measures as well as encouraging demand for vaccination take-up while scaling up vaccination roll-out across Gaza. Vaccine hesitancy is a key element in the slow uptake in numbers of Gazans willing to get vaccinated. WHO estimates that up to 110,000 women and men in Gaza Strip will have access to adequate COVID-19 screening through laboratory testing. At least 500,000 Palestinians in Gaza would receive public health messages on improved vaccine uptake World Health OrganizationWorld Health OrganizationoPt Humanitarian FundUnited Nations OCHA Financial Tracking Service (UN OCHA FTS)Dr. Richard PeeperkornHead of WHO oPt Office+972 (0) 2 540 0595peeperkornr@who.intDr. Ayadil SaparbekovWHO Health Emergencies Team Lead+972 (0) 2 540 0595asaparbekov@who.intGaza Strip31.35644200 34.32704700HealthOccupied Palestinian Territory Humanitarian Response Plan 20212100000.002100000.00oPt Humanitarian FundWorld Health Organization2100000.00oPt Humanitarian FundWorld Health Organization24344.45World Health OrganizationUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-OPT-21/DDA-3482/RA2/HNC/UN/18547United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe steep increase of COVID-19 cases in the Gaza Strip during April 2021, increased the pressure on the health system and further compromised the fragile living positions of the most vulnerable families. The project will contribute to respond to the current peak of COVID-19 infection, alleviate the most urgent needs of vulnerable families, and contribute to limit the destabilizing effects of the current public health emergency in the Gaza Strip. The intervention will reinforce the immediate response of the Ministry of Health (MOH) in the Gaza Strip to prevent and treat the threat posed by the COVID-19 pandemic through procurement of essential COVID-19 medical supplies including, ICU and ultra-cold chain equipment for COVID-19 vaccines to the designated health facilities. The project will respond to the two key components of the Health Cluster Response Plan, namely a) to support 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 b) to Strengthening and Scale-up MoH capacity to early detect and respond to COVID-19 outbreak. The allocation is a critical emergency response to provide support to around five health care facilities (HCF) in the Gaza Strip which have been designated by the MoH to be used for treating patients from COVID-19. In addition, the medical central store and designated health facility will be equipped with ultra–cold chain equipment to store properly the COVID 19 vaccine. These facilities lack adequate medical equipment needed to ensure safe and proper case management of COVID-19 patients. They also lack the ultra-cold chain equipment which is required to ensure the safety and efficacy of Covid-19 vaccines. This will feed into the work currently being undertaken by UNICEF with MoH and WHO with regards to rollout of COVID-9 vaccination aimed at increasing vaccine uptake across the country.
