Youth Engagement in Gaza Khan Younis (the main target area for this intervention) was one of the worst affected areas by the 2014 war.  All its eastern villages were displaced and thousands of houses were destroyed.  

Almost 18 months later since the ceasefire and there is still very little official  information available about the current situation of young people following the attack.  However, in CFTA’s experience it s clear that the impact has been severe.  The unemployment rate amongst young people is considered to be the highest in the world, reaching around 70% in 2015.  Increasingly, young people are seeking to leave the Gaza strip in search of higher education and employment.  At the sociocultural level, the political division, poverty and lack of cultural and recreational spaces and activities has resulted in increased conservatism, a decrease in female participation and a lack of freedom of expression.  

CFTA experience shows that when young people are given the space and resources and guidance , there are still opportunities for creative initiatives by young people to ensure better engagement.  CFTA’s main strategy is to invest in the available energy, skills, time and resources of young people for better change in the society at large.  

This project will support 
 - 40 young people to implement initiatives within their communities
 - The upgrading of studio and radio equipment in order to ensure youth engagement and the on-going quality of youth broadcasts
 - the engagement of 400 young people in their advocacy and community activities
Emergency water supply, sanitation and hygiene support to displaced families in Gaza This project aims to provide 99,200 internally displaced people in Gaza with improved water, sanitation and hygiene services.  The number of displaced people in Gaza is currently estimated to exceed 454,000. They have found shelter in around 90 temporary shelters, including UNRWA shelters, public schools and other informal shelters including in host communities. Temporary shelters are not able to meet minimum SPHERE standards; they normally have capacity for 500 people, but are currently serving an average of 2,800 IDPs per shelter. CAFOD partners warn that the lack of power and access hinders water service providers’ ability to operate and maintain critical water and sanitation facilities. There are insufficient sanitation workers in place, and the risk of disease outbreaks is growing.
Promoting community resilience through post-conflict recovery in the Gaza Strip The situation in Gaza presents an ongoing humanitarian emergency.  The population of the overcrowded enclave has extremely high rates of poverty and unemployment, with a high incidence of injuries, chronic health problems and psychological distress.  Its health service is vastly overstretched while at the same time burdened with shortages of medical supplies and fuel/ electricity.  All these problems have been further intensified by periodic escalations of conflict - in particular that of May 2021 which caused major infrastructural damage - at a time when the Gaza health system has also been having to struggle with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.   The West Bank and Gaza has experienced a fourth wave of COVID-19 starting in January 2022 and peaking in February, and although reported cases declined rapidly after February this was noted to coincide with a drop in testing.   As of June 2022 the number of cases in West Bank and Gaza stood at 660,000.  In view of the underlying acute vulnerability of Gaza, the maintenance of satisfactory levels of health among the population generally should be seen as a high priority in supporting the process of recovery from the pandemic.

Crucial support will be delivered by Caritas Jerusalem through provision of a wide range of health services (primary healthcare, maternal and child health, management of communicable and non-communicable diseases along with health and nutrition education) to 7,400 patients.  Approximately 450 of the patients presenting are expected to need referral for more advanced care: an estimated 200 will receive ENT, Eye and cardiology consultations from the Caritas team (due to their otherwise having to join very long waiting lists) and 250 treatment for Long COVID comprising  symptomatic relief, breathing exercises and psychosocial support.
Empowering youth as agents of peacebuilding In the absence of positive political and economic prospects in Palestine, disenfranchised young people who feel marginalised by the dominant political groups and community leaders are more likely to participate in violent conflict. Young people are also increasingly vulnerable to recruitment by extremist groups.  This on-going threat exacerbates existing social problems and further hampers young people's involvement in community development. 

This project builds on a previous two-year Phase 1 in which 40 young people aged 18-25 followed a process of empowerment and building of capacity in conflict transformation, peace-building and leadership skills, with 30 community elders providing them with mentoring and support, and involving them in community mediation.  In Phase 2 opportunities will be created for the 40 young people to be a driving force and creating youth-friendly spaces in three locations, and together with 20 elders become established as a reference group active in conflict prevention and in peace-building and mediation initiatives to transform community conflicts.
Gaza Emergency Response 2023 additional funds The Gaza strip has been subjected to a severe airstrikes since hostilities broke out in October 2023 between Hamas and Israel. Palestinians in Gaza have faced restrictions by Israeli authorities in accessing many basic supplies, such as fuel, water, food and medication. Within 10 days, over 1.4 million Palestinians were displaced, predominantly to the South near Khan Younis. 

CAFOD made a grant of £50,000 to CFTA to provide rapid cash assistance, food and NFIs to displaced communities in dire need of essential supplies. CAFOD and Christian Aid agreed jointly to provided a total of £100,000 to CFTA - a shared partner based in Khan Younis in the south of the Gaza strip and who have opened their centres to be used as shelters for people fleeing north Gaza and who have had their homes destroyed. As at 16/11/23 the airstrikes are ongoing and CFTA needs to open another shelter, so it has been agreed to provide additional funds.
Primary healthcare and basic needs for conflict-affected population in Gaza Strip The most severe escalation of hostilities against Gaza since 2014 took place 10-21 May 2021 with Israeli
forces carrying out over 1,500 air, land and sea strikes on Gaza. These resulted in significant loss of life and human suffering, and the humanitarian consequences have been devastating, exacerbating the impact of almost 14 years of an Israeli blockade and recurrent escalations.  A health system already on the verge of collapse due to supply shortages was further overstretched to cope with COVID-19, and is now struggling to meet the needs of those injured during the hostilities. It should be noted that efforts to contain the pandemic have undermined the delivery of other essential healthcare services as healthcare centres were converted into quarantine and isolation centres and some 400 doctors, nurses, and administrative staff mobilised to support their operation, and an estimated 64,000 people have been affected by the deprioritisation of treatment for non-communicable diseases and palliative care. Caritas Jerusalem will provide a wide range of health services (primary healthcare, maternal and child health, management of communicable and non-communicable diseases) and psychosocial support for traumatised individuals.  Additionally 400 very poor and vulnerable families will be assisted through small cash transfers to enable them to meet other needs.
Micro-enterprise training for SILC communities in Gaza and the West Bank A consultant will work with CRS and partners to develop a locally relevant micro-enterprise training component, including a training of trainers' format for community mobilisers, private service providers, CRS staff and local partners.  CRS will add this micro-enterprise training to existing and new Savings and Internal Lending Communities (SILC) groups in Gaza with potential expansion of the training model to SILC groups in the West Bank.  

46 people from 4 partners and CRS staff will participate in the training of trainers.  From that training, all SILC groups who have saved successfully for a minimum of 3 months will be given the opportunity to be trained.  The training will also be used in new SILC groups as expansion occurs.
Vouchers for Asset Recovery and Cash for Work Labour for farmers affected by 2014 Gaza conflict. On July 8th, the Israeli military launched Operation Protective Edge in Gaza, which expanded with a ground invasion on July 17th. The combination of airstrikes, naval bombardment and mortar shells caused significant loss of life and physical damage, including damage to agricultural lands and assets. 

CAFOD's partner Catholic Relief Services has identified agricultural rehabilitation as a key requirement to promote functioning markets, reduce reliance on food aid and promote recovery amongst the Gazan population. 

This is a 5 month project, using Phase 1 project funds from DEC Gaza Crisis appeal 2014.  Through this project CRS will provide;

-240 conflict affected farming households with vouchers for agricultural inputs, as well as support for land rehabilitation.
-105 vulnerable, conflict-affected households with cash, through cash for work activities. 
-365 individuals with training on appropriate procedures when identifying UXOs.
Savings and Internal Lending Communities (SILC) in Gaza (Bedayia) This project has been given the name “Bedayia” (meaning “Start” in Arabic).  It follows on from Gaza Risk Reduction and Mitigation (GRRAM), a one-year disaster risk reduction project conducted with groups of women in 10 target communities in Gaza, during which they were helped to map the hazards facing their families and communities.  The main hazard identified repeatedly was poverty and unemployment, which makes everyone in Gaza more vulnerable to anything else that might happen.  Other high priority hazards were poor public services (water, electricity and waste disposal) and military incursions.

CRS will now work with six of the original 10 GRRAM communities to empower them effectively to mitigate the risks of their priority hazards and vulnerabilities.  The vulnerabilities of communities and households will be addressed in two ways:
•	community-led implementation of appropriate and realistic development projects and household action plans
•	formation and effective management of 30 savings and internal lending community (SILC) groups which will provide essential financial services to their members.
Youth Empowerment in Gaza The Gaza strip has been subjected to a severe closure since 2007 and exposed to several major  armed military offensives, and continues to suffer political unrest and conflict.  Its almost 2 million residents are denied free access to the remainder of the territory and the outside world.  There is a lack of basic services including electricity, clean water and health supplies.  There is high unemployment in Gaza, with youth unemployment particularly worrying, especially amongst young women.  For most young people, there are significant barriers to finding employment, opportunities for travel very rare and levels of hopelessness, despair and associated mental health problems are rising.  

This project will take place at the cultural centre of CFTA, which is perhaps the only space in the south of the Gaza strip where girls can participate in making positive changes at both personal and community level, and will create a platform for talented youth to engage in art, music, journalism as well as learning skills for employment and advocacy as well as awareness raising on human rights.
Emergency Response in Gaza & the West Bank: Critical Support for Families Affected by the Conflict In October 2023, hostilities erupted in Gaza after a Hamas attack in Israel and over 199 hostages captured by Hamas and taken to Gaza. Israel responded declaring war and ordered an evacuation of Gaza. Heavy Israeli bombardments continue, which have killed 2,670 Palestinians and 9,600 have been injured (as of 16 October 2023). Over half a million people in Gaza are displaced, with attacks on evacuation routes and the Raffa crossing remaining closed. Gaza has had no electricity, pushing vital services, including health, water and sanitation to the brink of collapse and worsening food insecurity. There has also been a sharp increase in violence and settler-attacks in the West Bank making it the deadliest for West Bank Palestinians since OCHA began recording casualties in 2005.

CAFOD will provide an unearmarked contribution of 100,000.00 GBP to CRS's Emergency Response of 10,000,000.00 USD. CRS will provide emergency support consisting of shelter, cash and vouchers, NFIs and psychological assistance to the most vulnerable people across Gaza and the West Bank.
Countering Human Rights Violations in oPt through Legal Aid, Awareness and Reform This is a contribution for 2018 to JLAC's core work providing legal aid and support to Palestinians living in the West Bank. This fund is in addition to CAFOD's co-financing and support provided under the EU project, ICD787.

An assessment carried out in 2014 indicated a need for action to mitigate “push factors” fostering displacement of Palestinians from large expanses of Palestinian land in the West Bank and from the city of Jerusalem.  Such push factors include house demolition, forced displacement, and confiscation of land in Area C, and social and economic pressures involving East Jerusalem.  Strategies being implemented to address these issues involve rendering legal aid, combined with awareness-raising and advocacy efforts to strengthen the resilience of marginalized communities at risk for displacement.  Ongoing engagement with civil society coalitions, local government, community leaders and community based organisations ensures that the people affected are fully participant in the mitigation process, and that their prioritizations and input are continually sought during service provision and evaluations.
Contribution to Caritas emergency appeal for Gaza Caritas Jerusalem is seeking to provide emergency assistance to the civilian population in Gaza, where the current escalation in conflict with Israel has resulted in the displacement and injury of many thousands of civilians.  Health services within the Gaza Strip are under tremendous pressure.  CAFOD's grant will assist Caritas Jerusalem to help ensure that life-saving primary and secondary health care can be provided to people in Gaza over the next six months.
Legal assistance for Palestinians This project aims at improving the quality of life of Palestinian people through providing pro bono legal aid and advice to individuals and groups in cases of human rights violation either by Israel or the Palestinian authority.  Beneficiaries include farmers and their families, women, people with disabilities, administrative detainees and their families, and families affected by house demolition and related issues.  Jerusalem Legal Aid Centre (JLAC) provides special consideration for clients on low incomes, and those who have limited or no other access to legal services, taking up over a thousand cases in a typical year.  JLAC also conducts public awareness-raising campaigns on human rights, and advocacy for increased rights with both the Palestinian Authority and the Government of Israel.
