Emergency Water distribution  to area C of the West Bank The main purpose of the project is to provide an increased accessibility to safe drinking water in Area C of the West Bank and to ensure affordable and sustainable access to basic minimal water services for the most vulnerable communities in the marginalized/remote locations of Area C. The water accessibility will be increased through the subsidized distribution of safe drinking water to the most vulnerable households, schools and hospitals. 
The approach will assure that the families of the most vulnerable communities have proper access to safe drinking water at a fair price, in line with the quantities and the prices agreed among the WASH Cluster and the Water Access Task Force.
The system envisages a strong collaboration among local and regional stakeholders in line and beyond the central management of PWA. The action involves a predictable water access management approach, assuring equity, and increasing accountability and responsibility among local, regional and national Palestinian stakeholders.
The proposed intervention is based on a sustainable and equitable humanitarian approach aiming to the provision of an immediate relief to the especially dire water access generated needs currently prevailing in the West Bank.. The proposed intervention will also decrease the risk of seasonal and long-term displacement of marginalized families - especially living in rural and herder villages - where water access is scarce and drought is an ever-present threat.
As Cluster Lead Agency, UNICEF will continue to play its pivotal role in coordinating the intervention with the National and local Authorities, ensuring quality control, as well as strengthening the governance and policy aspects of the project with PWA with the view of mainstreaming the water distribution approach of the project at the institutional level with the concerned Authorities.
Improving the living conditions of Beit Hanoun vulnerable IDPs living in physically deteriorated prefabricated units (caravans) and affected by seasonal high/low temperatures. The project aims to reduce the safety and health risks faced by IDPs from the physical deterioration of pre-fabricated units (caravans) in Beit Hanoun, as well as protect against the high summer temperatures which increase IDPs exposure to this risk. 
The project will provide shelter solutions which will include renovating and upgrading the structure of prefabricated units by conducting maintenance and repair work. Activities will include fixing deteriorated floors, repairing damaged walls, repairing doors and ceilings, repairing electrical networks, repairing plumbing networks, and painting work. Additionally, the project will support IDPs to cope with the intense summer heat through constructing tarpaulin sheds on the top of each prefabricated unit and distributing rechargeable fans, plastic floor mats and hygiene kits to improve the hygienic environment. 

The project will target 81 prefabricated units in Beit Hanoun over six months. The priority will be given to IDPs living in individual prefabricated units, particularly those that are in disrepair. The project will be implemented through direct coordination and collaboration with Beit Hanoun municipality and through coordination with the shelter cluster for cross-checking with Ministry of Public Work and Housing (MOPWH) to exclude IDPs with approved housing construction assistance and received cash for reconstruction and will be able to move to their new buildings during or just after the implementation of the project
Securing safe drinking water for 75,000 vulnerable people in Rafah and Khan Yunis area during winter 2016/17 In the Gaza Strip, the unsustainable water and sanitation situation has been exacerbated by the 2014 conflict and the longstanding blockade. In addition, the chronic electricity and fuel deficit affecting Gaza over the past nine years has disrupted the delivery of basic WASH services. In order to provide a sustainable water source, UNICEF with funding from the EU has been supporting the construction of the Short Term Low Volume Sea Water Desalination Plant (STLV) in the Southern Governorates of the Gaza Strip. The first phase of the project serves at least 75,000 people in Rafah and Khan Younis. A further 175,000 people will be served under the second and third phases of the project for which EU has now confirmed their funding commitments. Securing water for the people in Gaza through the STLV faces two main challenges: i) The expansion of the paramilitary training facility on the land allocated for the regional desalination plant site which constitutes a significant challenge and ii) the challenge of ensuring a continuous power supply during the upcoming winter months. 

The objective of this proposal is to ensure the conditions for the STLV plant to be operated safely and securely and the provision of fuel to guarantee the optimal supply of safe water to households and communities.
This will be done through i) securing the desalination production site through the construction of a perimeter fence/wall, and ii) providing the necessary fuel required to contribute to operating the existing desalination plant for the 4 months winter period. 

A paramilitary training facility has encroached on land allocated to the Palestinian Water Authority (PWA) by the Palestinian Land Authority for the construction of the STLV and Gaza Central Desalination Plant (GCDP). Urgent action is required to secure the site by constructing a boundary wall around the perimeter of the site allocated to PWA for the desalination plants. This critical but unforeseen opportunity has meant that work needs to start immediately and can be tendered, however there is no additional funding within the grant to cover this. 

The proximity of the training facility to the STLV exposes it to unprecedented levels of risk and collateral damage from potential external attacks on the site as has been experienced recently. 

The project also aims to ensure sustainable operation of the plant within the restrictions to the power supplies by availing 30,000 liters/month of fuel for four months of operation during the critical winter period.
Support water service providers to prevent and respond to winter flooding risks and WASH humanitarian emergencies for the most vulnerable women, girls, men and boys in the Gaza Strip during the winter and seasonal flood of 2016-2017 To provide life-saving emergency WASH preparedness and response to the most vulnerable women and men through the construction, rehabilitation and improvements of drainage systems and reducing hazards for private/public hygiene, public health and environment pollution. 
The poor storm water drainage system, electricity cuts, and the repeated damages to WASH facilities have led to increased flooding risks in many areas in the Gaza Strip. Through the Coastal Municipal Water Utilities (CMWU) Risk Assessment that was conducted in October 2016, around 114 locations have been identified as winter flood affected areas in the 3 southern governorates of Gaza, in which 131,130 persons reside, in addition to the around twenty schools and ten medical facilities also located in these areas seasonally affected by the floods. CMWU identified Khan Younis, Bani Suheila, Abassan El Jadeda as potential flooding areas.
According to the CMWU's experience, the area is subjected to storm flooding during heavy storms due to the clogging of stormwater channels by rubble, sand, garbage and plants. This places residents in the area, particularly children, at grave health risks (especially diarrhea, hepatitis A, meningitis, etc.) in addition to risks linked to drowning.

Specific objectives:
1.	To ensure the basic sanitary services in terms of storm/flood water to the most vulnerable women/girls, men and boys (Strategic Objective 2) 
2.	To support service providers and duty bearers to prevent winterization effects and respond to risks (Strategic Objective 3) 
3.	To implement preparedness and response activities through a winterization approach (Strategic Objective 3) 
4.	To support communities at Household level with hygiene items and hygiene awareness raising, through the e-voucher programme (Strategic Objective 2)
Enhanced WASH preparedness and response capacity of vulnerable communities to winter floods The project responds to the priority WASH Cluster Objective 3 to strengthen the winterization preparedness and response capacity of service providers to winter floods in flood prone areas of the Gaza Strip. This is linked to HRP Strategic Objective 3 to strengthen the ability of acutely-vulnerable Palestinian households to cope with protracted threats and shocks.
The project supports the Coastal Municipal Water Utility (CMWU) and municipalities with small scale storm water drainage interventions in 25 high risk flooding-areas and provides protective clothing to the emergency responders at CMWU/municipalities. Such emergency mitigation measures will mitigate the effect of lack of adequate storm /flood water infrastructure, damage to existing infrastructure, and lack of fuel and machinery required for flood response.

This project will provide 25 flood-prone communities in the Gaza Strip with mitigation measures to protect the men, women, girls, boys, elderly, and disabled living in those communities from the risk of displacement, damage to property, lack of access to public services, and public health impact. The effects of floods and winter on people living in most flood-prone areas in Gaza will thus be mitigated through this project.

Targeted communities will be the most vulnerable to winter floods based on a detailed flooding risk matrix prepared and agreed in cooperation / coordination with WASH Cluster Partners and CMWU and respective municipalities. 

The project will provide these communities with mitigation activities that will include clearing existing storm water facilities that are plugged, installation of new infrastructure (catch-basins, pipes, and manholes), cleaning of storm water management/retention/infiltration ponds, and providing protective and safety clothing and tools to the laborers of CMWU and 25 municipalities when working during a flooding situation. In addition, the project will support CMWU/municipalities in renting heavy machinery (Hiring on call during emergency e.g. trucks) and covering the cost of skilled and unskilled laborers during emergency preparedness and response activities.
Transitional cash assistance: Addressing emergency housing needs in winter in the Gaza Strip This Project is directly related to providing refugee families affected by flooding and other natural emergencies with emergency winterization Transitional Shelter Cash Assistance. The focus of this Project would be on assisting households living in caravans and other habitation that are at greater risk of being affected by rains, floods and the harsh winter conditions.
Enhance resilience and productive capacity of herders in Gaza Strip This project aims at restoring and protecting the livelihoods of selected vulnerable small ruminant herders' households in the Middle and South area of Gaza Strip.

The proposed intervention shapes Oxfam-UAWC work by addressing critical issues that impede herders to build their resilience and overcome negative coping mechanisms.

Thus, activities will be addressed to repair flocks by increasing the number of sheeps and goats who reproduce through veterinary services, ensuring that these flocks receive additional and sufficient fodder to guarantee that they are healthy during the pregnancy and delivery period , and rehabilitate animal shelters to protect them. The proposal has been designed following on the analysis of current Oxfam-UAWC quantitative and qualitative assessments, which show that one of the main hindrances of vulnerable herders is the high rate of animal death during pregnancy and delivery.

The project is well framed under Oxfam Country Strategy 2016-2019 (OCS) and it is part of the Programmatic Area “Saving lives, Now and in the Future". It contributes to the HRP main objectives. 
In concrete, the action is well articulated to two main Food Security Sector (FSS) Cluster objectives, collected in the Allocation Strategy:
Key result 1: The resilience and the productive capacity of vulnerable households are restored/enhanced and livelihoods protected. 
Key result 2: Improved coordination for preparedness and advocacy, activity implementation and information sharing.

Strong MampE and feedback mechanisms will be put in place to ensure timely and quality implementation, high level of results and relevant community participation, including men, women, boys and girls..
Support for a more healthy and dignified life of the Bedouin Community in Shokit Al
Sofi Area The water and sanitation situation in Gaza is already critical and in absence of urgent intervention will soon develop into chronic water crisis . The OCHA-HNO 2016 estimated that a total of 1.3 million people in Gaza strip are in need for humanitarian interventions related to WASH services, 217,800 of them are in Rafah area. 
As detailed below under the need assessment section, the people of Al Shoka community in Rafah governorate suffer from deteriorating WASH situation and low access to safe water. Only 45% of the households are connected to the public water networks, where, the water pumping hours ranges from 3 to 5 hours per week with a total quantity of 8-12 litter/ person/day. Poor water storage capacity and bad hygiene conditions have been recognized as well.
In response, DCA with its partner MAAN development Center will implement an intervention that addresses the water crisis in Al Shoka area. The project will improve the access of targeted population to safe drinking and domestic water, hence, mitigate the protection risks and potential health hazard resulting from the low access to safe water (water of sufficient quality to be drunk and used for cooking and personnel and domestic hygiene without causing risk to health) In close coordination with Al Shoka Municipality, WASH cluster and OXFAM GB, the project will target a total of 550 families to receive storage tanks and water vouchers for both drinking and domestic use, in addition to vouchers for hygiene material/items.  
The quality of service delivery will be assured through strict measures. This includes ensuring the water quality indicators by appointing a Water Quality and Safety Advisor who will be responsible for managing the water quality assurance activities.  A system of water testing and quality assurance will be installed including periodical water testing. This will be managed mainly by the field monitors who will be trained and supervised by the Water Quality and Safety Advisor.
Structured, multi-sectoral, safe, confidential, life-saving prevention and protection GBV services provision in Bedouin Communities of Area C through mobile clinics assistance, home visits and HelpLine (focus on legal aid and documentation and monitoring of violations) APS proposes to support GBV survivors in 5 isolated Bedouin communities located in Area C of the West Bank suffering high rates of GBV, alarmingly increased as a direct consequence of the most recent escalation of violence in October across oPt.  The proposed project is focus on enhancing and strengthening the GBV multi-sectoral response in two specific components: (i) provision of legal aid need-based services (specialized counselling for GBV survivors -for adults and for children based on their different needs-, legal accompaniment through the legal process, court file preparation, referral and monitoring of legal-administrative and court proceedings) accessible for the beneficiaries through the mobile clinics, home visits and GVB Helpline and (ii) monitoring and documentation of violations of grave GBV conflict-related violations through a standardized data system, supporting CBOs to boost their capacities in accurately collection of relevant data, documentation and monitoring of IHL violations for the purpose of increasing the accountability channels. While it has been proven that the GBV multi-sectoral emergency response cannot be defragmented to effectively assist the needs of the GBV survivors (to be able to seek accountability for violations and have the strength to go through a legal process, they require to prior cover their SRH needs and deal with stigma and trauma through PSS specialized support), APS is already providing SHR and PSS support on the targeted communities. Thus, the emergency intervention under the proposed intervention seeks to assist uncovered urgent needs of the multi-sectoral GBV response on the legal component, crucial to immediately address and increase the accountability gap for the Bedouin population (and specifically women and girls) systematically suffering IHL and IHRL violations. Throughout the legal aid and documentation processes, GBV survivors continue to have access to psychosocial support: this emotional and social support is essential for survivors pursuing the complex process of legal justice and it is also crucial to mitigate the potential risk of backlash given the sensitive nature of the subject. If the humanitarian intervention proposed could not be implemented that would mean that the GBV multisectoral response would remain unaddressed and defragmented, being harsher for GBV survivors to overcome trauma for the IHL and IHRL violations suffered, as having the chance to claim accountability and redress though legal counselling and representation as well as through the documentation of violations is an essential part of the recovery process for them. Legal aid is a critical and necessary element to ensure an adequate and multi-sectoral GBV approach to be successful in aiding survivors to maintain their safety and to seek accountability and obtain justice.
Emergency assistance to non-refugee households with minor damages to their home in the Gaza strip The aim of this project is to provide emergency minor repairs cash assistance to at least 119 non-refugee households whose homes have been damaged in order to protect vulnerable population and prevent further displacements in the Gaza Strip through household’s capacity building for self-repair, cash assistance for repair and contracting reparation. The priority is given to the most 119 acute vulnerable HH who, almost two years after the last Gaza war, did not have the capacity to conduct by themselves the repairs and are therefore deprived from safe and dignified housing conditions making them more vulnerable to harsh weather conditions. This project was approved in the 2016 HRP under the number OPT 16/S NF/88007.
Emergency response to vulnerable populations affected by floods, other natural
disasters, or extreme weather conditions in the Gaza Strip Throughout the last three years, the Gaza Strip has witnessed severe changes in weather patterns. The last two winters saw heavy winter and thunder storms, affecting vulnerable households still recovering from the effects of 2014’s 51-day war.  Thousands of war-affected households are still displaced with community infrastructure still in need of rehabilitation. The winter season in 2016 hit many places in the area of intervention Abassan Al Kabira, Khuzaa, AL Shouka where PUI intervened to assist the community in evacuation stagnant water from in front of wooden and metallic caravans. IT also intervened through the distribution of winterization kits and nylon to protect acutely vulnerable people from the harsh weather. 
These vulnerable populations are at risk of being exposed to harsh summer conditions, including extreme high temperatures, spread of diseases because of insects and mosquitos.  In winter, they will be exposed to cold and flooding, bringing with it serious risks to their protection and health. This project seeks to protect as much as possible IDPs who still live in wooden and metal caravans from summer harsh conditions. It will also provide acutely vulnerable people living in very bad housing conditions with support for minor repairs and / or upgrading works. The project will also support local CBOs and municipalities to take part in the urgent response to summer and winter’s challenges affecting acutely vulnerable households.
Promoting human rights- based approach to protect the rights of women with disabilities in the Gaza city Disability is being increasingly recognized as a key area of concern for humanitarian programming in Gaza, the high number of injuries that resulted from the recent conflicts has increased the number of people with disabilities among the population including women with disabilities WWDs. Thus it is important that comprehensive services are provided to WWDs as part of the humanitarian response. To reach that Aisha will implement this project including many interventions that give comprehensive services. It will provide structured psychological support services to 510 WWDs . The project will address the identified problem of inadequate provision of psychosocial support and mental health services to heal the traumas of WWDs in Gaza city through providing desperately needed opportunities for self-expression and tackling most of its potential causes in the identified location. The project will create safe environment and maintain coping mechanisms using the cultural tool of specialized group, individual psychological support and open days. The cases that need more services such as medical (mental or physical) health services, and legal services will be referred to suitable specialized sides. Also the 510 WWDs will receive awareness on GBV, gender equality, rights of WWDs in IHL, IHRL, HRBA, and Palestinian disability law, moreover legal aid will be provided (mediation, consultation and representation) for WWDs according to their needs. The family members of WWDs will receive awareness on GBV, gender equality, rights of WWDs in IHL, IHRL, Palestinian disability law and human security. Moreover, awareness-raising for service providers from CBOs will be conducted on IHL, IHRL, HRBA, Palestinian disability law, GBV, documentation of violation of HR. Finally the project will include media campaign that address WWDs rights according Palestinian Laws and international standards as reflected in IHL and IHRL
This goal is aligned with the OCHA-oPt Strategic Response plan HRP for the year 2016 and will support the achievement of its 2nd objective, (Ensure acutely-vulnerable Palestinians under occupation in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank have access to essential services).
