Provision of life-saving health interventions to the victims of mass casualty event during the May 2021 Escalation in Gaza Aerial bombardment of the Gaza Strip which followed the escalations and settler-related violence in the West Bank including East Jerusalem has resulted in a substantial number of fatalities and injuries. From 7 to 17 May 2021, an estimated 270 Palestinians have been killed and more than 9,000 injured across the oPt. In Gaza, more than 250 Palestinians including 62 children and more than 35 women have been killed and almost 2,000 injured. 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.
Gaza Emergency Response: Emergency Cash Assistance for Families in Crisis An estimated 225,000 Gazans are currently affected by the May 2021 round of hostilities between Israeli forces and armed groups in Gaza. Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and its local partners Life and Hope Association (LHA) and Palestinian Organization for Development (POD) propose a 4-month post-conflict multi-purpose cash assistance project to help 4,263 Gazans (775 households) meet their essential food and basic living supply needs. Aligned with the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt) Humanitarian Fund 2021 3rd Reserve Allocation Strategy Paper Food Security Sector (FSS) Objective 1 the project will utilize CRS’ existing market-based electronic (e-)voucher system which offers a cash-out option to ensure rapid and direct assistance to targeted households. CRS will coordinate closely with the Palestinian Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) of the Palestinian Authority to identify crisis-affected households in the Gaza Strip and will make sure to target the most vulnerable and affected families CRS will validate the needs and will coordinate with the FSS to avoid duplication with other food security actors and to maximize assistance impact. Working in the oPt since 1961 and with current programming in all five Gaza governorates, existing CRS and partner staff and established policies and networks will ensure successful implementation of the proposed project.
Support non-communicable disease management in Gaza through procurement of essential supplies to support cardiac catherization procedures. This project is in line with the Strategic Objective 2: The basic needs of vulnerable Palestinians living under occupation are met through the provision of quality basic services and improved access to resources, in accordance with the rights of protected persons under international humanitarian law (IHL) and the Health Cluster Objective #2 of the first standard allocation of 2021: Support non-communicable disease management through procurement of supplies to support cardiac catherization procedures.  

The project aims to alleviate the suffering of a vulnerable group of the non-communicable diseases (NCDs) patients in Gaza: the Cardiac patients in need of catherization diagnostic and interventional procedures. The project will focus on procuring essentially needed medical supplies/disposables to support the cardiac services in Gaza and reduce referral from MoH facilities (most of the referrals happen inside of Gaza to 6 non governmental and private centers) which will in turn reduce the suffering of the patients, and reduce the financial burden on the health system that is already suffering.

The project aims to target about 550 patients in Gaza who will be in urgent need for these cardiac services.
Provision of health and protection services for vulnerable women and girls impacted by the escalation of violence in Gaza Following the ceasefire agreed on Friday 21 May, the grave impact of the hostilities is becoming clear. 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.
MHPSS, Protection and Child Protection intervention to prevent and mitigate the impact of conflict related violence on Palestinian southern communities of the West Bank Palestinians in the West Bank are subject to a coercive environment by the ongoing occupation and settlement activity, resulting in a wide range of humanitarian needs, further exacerbated by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

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.
Urgent support to protect and restore livelihoods for affected vulnerable farmers in Gaza Strip This 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.
Emergency shelter assistance for vulnerable families at risk of exposure to harsh weather and protection concerns The project provides for the protection and safety of vulnerable families who are at risk of exposure to harsh weather. It includes providing emergency support and winterization assistance to vulnerable households living in substandard shelters in Gaza City. A total of 150 families will be targeted including 258 men, 306 women, 210 boys, and 216 girls. The project targets families who experienced significant damage because of the recent winter storms in the Gaza Strip. The main activities include supporting 150 families with cash grants for light urgent rehabilitation to address the winter-related risks. A cash-based self-help approach for shelter rehabilitation to 150 families will be implemented according to families' needs. This will maximize the impact on beneficiaries while fostering ownership and resilience of the targeted community. The identification of the targeted families will be conducted in coordination with the shelter cluster and the Ministry of social development. This project aligns with the allocation strategy objective of " Provision of shelter assistance (Cash, rehabilitation, materials, and/or NFIs) to vulnerable households at risk of exposure or affected by natural hazards (e.g., winter storms, flooding) and protection concerns". MA’AN capitalizes on its community-based emergency response structure to support the implementation process to ensure accountability to the affected population. The implementation methodology has been set to manage different protection concerns associated with the winter-related risks including the COVID-19 pandemic, child protection concerns, special needs of PWDs, and GBV.
