Therefore, our office follows strict measures that minimize the harm to the environment, we also influence partners to adapt an environmental friendly policies to be taken into consideration throughout the project implementation period.
Urgent Food E-Voucher support for the most vulnerable families in Gaza strip The proposed intervention is a response to increasing food insecurity in Gaza. According to the FSS-HNO 2022, two million Palestinians (36.7% of the population) are estimated to be moderately or severely food insecure, making almost two out of five Palestinians suffering from food insecurity, and 76 per cent of those in need of humanitarian assistance in oPt are in the Gaza Strip. Nearly 70 per cent of Gaza residents are suffering from poor access to nutritious and sufficient food. The proposed intervention responds to HRP Strategic Objective 3: The capacity of vulnerable Palestinians to cope with and overcome protracted crisis, including from environmental threats, is supported, while solutions to violations and other root causes of threats and shocks are pursued. The proposed intervention also addresses the identified needs and priorities of the Food Security Sector, particularly Objective 2: Low-income households who are facing limited access to food are able to meet their basic food needs, and the recommended modality to provide direct access to food through E-voucher modality. 

The project will increase food security for vulnerable HHs in Rafah and Khan Younis in Gaza through providing direct access to food through the provision of food E-vouchers. Applying the food e-voucher modality will empower food insecure households to prioritize and meet their own needs, while enhancing their access to sufficient food intake. Through the intervention, 737vulnerable HHs (approx. 4053 people) will be supported by e-vouchers for 6 months. The monthly top ups will be calculated based on the number of family members (ILS 57 for each family member) and based on the food component of the newly drafted Minimum Expenditure Basket (MEB) guidance by the Cash Working Group (CWG).

SC will target vulnerable conflict-affected HHs and will prioritize HHs headed by women and/or children, large size HHs, HHs which include persons with disabilities (PwD) or children with chronic disease, families with pregnant or lactating women, and families with children less than 5 years of age. At the beginning of the intervention, SC will conduct a socio-economic assessment to select the final beneficiaries. In addition, SC will conduct sensitization sessions to ensure that beneficiaries are aware of their entitlements and will provide them with printed materials (specifically, guidance materials about using e-vouchers, vendors’ addresses, and hotline number). SC will discuss with beneficiaries the list of allowed items (food categories) and make the needed amendments to the list based on requests and recommendations of beneficiaries to best meet their special needs. SC will also agree with beneficiaries on the redemption plan and discuss their suggestions to address any challenges they may face.
Urgent support for the disenfranchised patients of renal failure, and oncology in Gaza. With a protracted emergency and a chronic zero-stock issue, NCD patients are suffering silently. 38% out of the essential drugs list, were reported at zero-stock levels, and these include 57% shortages in immunity drugs that are useful for oncology patients, 46% shortages in chemotherapy and blood diseases drugs, 18% in kidney diseases, and 14% shortages in emergency, surgery and ICU drugs. Additionally, 17% out of the essential medical disposables were reported at zero-stock levels including: hemodialysis disposables at 12%, and 8% shortages in emergency, surgery and ICU related disposables. This project aims to contribute to alleviating the suffering of renal and oncology patients via procurement and immediate delivery of medicines and medical disposables urgently needed for their treatment.

Information, Counseling and Legal Assistance (ICLA) to Protect Palestinians in Area C from Forcible Transfer The project will address the risk of forced evictions and forcible transfer and related initiatives through legal aid services and design of an early warning tracking system focusing on Area C of the West Bank.  
 
Through the project, 900 beneficiaries (450 male 450 female) affected by or at risk of displacement will receive legal counselling, para-legal assistance and legal representation on Housing, Land and Property (HLP) issues, notably settler violence and land takeover. Moreover, 110 beneficiaries (50 men60 women) will receive legal information on how to protect their rights related to HLP, specifically, settler violence, land takeover and demolitions. The project will also contribute to the protection of 63,800 beneficiaries (30,600 male 33,200 female) from settler violence and land takeover through litigation of four Public Interest Cases (PICs). 
 
In addition, the project will develop an early warning tracking system including: 
- create an initial list of 30-50 communities that are at risk of massive demolition, and an “early warning” list of the most vulnerable 15-20 cases 
- monitor the legal status of communities and the construction in them that are undergoing legal proceedings in cooperation with lawyers and legal organisations 
- produce and update a reliable database containing information gathered from various sources  
- assess the level of risk and the tools likely to be used by the state authorities. 
In total, 60,000 Palestinians (29,000 male 31,000 female) in Area C are expected to benefit from the tracking system.  
 

In total, 124,685 persons (25,506 men, 27,639 women, 34550 boys and 36,990 girls) will benefit from the project. It is expected that the project will reach 4,800 persons (600 men, 600 women, 1,800 boys and 1,800 girls) with disability / impairment. ICLA’s intake form is adapted to ensure age, gender and disability/impairment are included and measured (e.g. Washington questions are asked of all direct beneficiaries of legal aid action).
Food Assistance to underserved and vulnerable HHs in the Gaza Strip The project aims to provide short-term food assistance to around 744 of the most vulnerable households in the Gaza strip. Considering the possible financial contribution from the EU to the NCTP, the target group of this project will be nominated from the MoSD's social safety net and the Ministry's waiting list to include the households that are most vulnerable to food insecurity. The criteria for benefiting from the project, which will be shared with MoSD, includes HHs that: are registered on in the MoSD social safety net or waiting list with low PMTF score, are not or have not benefitted from similar input in the last 6 months, and are residents of the targeted governorates, with priority given to those in localities in ARAs. In addition, priority for nomination will be given to female-headed households, HHs with PWD and elderly, and HHs with a large number of school-aged children. The project will target 3 governorates: North Gaza, Gaza, and the Middle Area, with prioritization, as previously mentioned, to residents in localities of access restricted areas in these governorates. Oxfam and PARC have started the coordination process with the MoSD and agreed to obtain the nomination list as soon as the project starts. The finalized list will be completed after verification HH visits which will update the socio-economic information of the households and also be followed with a crosscheck through the FSS Coordinator. The selected HHs will be receiving 6 rounds of food vouchers, topped up on a monthly basis, with a value that covers around 60% of HH food needs, according to the minimum expenditure basket and the food security sector and Gaza cash working group’s recommendation per individual, which equals 57 ILS. The amount will be disbursed through e-voucher wallet, in ILS, to the entire family depending on the HH size. The food vouchers will be provided in a dignified manner through Oxfam’s RedRose e-voucher system used in Gaza since 2016. The e-voucher system will provide in-time remote monitoring of the redemption process, in addition to direct daily field monitoring by PARC staff and spot check visits by Oxfam’s field officer.
Supporting AVH in Procuring Emergency Needed Medication for Cancer Patients For a long time now, Augusta Victoria Hospital and other members of the East Jerusalem Hospital's Network have been facing financial difficulties and mostly an on-going cash flow limitations as a result of the inability of the Palestinian Authority to pay on a regular basis the bills for treating patients it refers to these hospitals. This situation has prompted interventions and action by the international donor community providing vital support that allowed for the continuation in the provision of essential health services. The EU annually transfers earmarked funds of 13 Mio. Euros for the East Jerusalem hospitals to the PA through the EU PEGASE mechanism. A similar mechanism was used by the US before the Trump administration and guaranteed a yearly amount of 25 Mio USD of which the share for AVH ranged from 55-77 %. Regular payments of earmarked funds to the PA by USAID were eliminated under the Trump administration for four years. 

Today, AVH accrued debt from the Palestinian Authority has reached to 63 million Euros. This situation puts the hospital in a major financial crises and unfortunately jeopardizing the lives of patients. The majority of AVH patients are coming for specialized cancer treatment which is a very expensive treatment. Chemotherapy medications alone count for about 46% of the monthly billing of the AVH to the Palestinian Authority. Sadly, the current financial situation is affecting AVH ability of securing these medications to its patients. Since September 2021, AVH had to reject more than 400 newly diagnosed cancer patients’ referral requests for patients coming from Gaza and the West Bank. In addition, 579 patients that receive advanced chemotherapy are currently under the risk of treatment interruption. This interruption will have a detrimental effect on the outcome of the treatment which might result in risking their lives.
Currently the hospital is in urgent need for $500,000 to cover the cost of some of the chemotherapy medication needed for the oncology department.

The proposed intervention will allow 143 patients coming from West Bank and Gaza to continue their treatment in a timely manner without interruption.
Enhance access to sanitation services for vulnerable households in Gaza The proposed 7 months project aims at supporting a total of 5413 vulnerable women, men, boys and girls in three locations within Beit Hanoun, Jabalia and Khan Yunis who are not connected to the wastewater system and suffer from wastewater and stormwater floods. This situation leads to public health risks for the households themselves and the surrounding community as the current cesspits are often poorly managed, not always discharged and can collapse. Action Against Hunger (AAH) will connect 977 households in targeted communities to wastewater networks through 257 wastewater connections, thereby allowing them to access to basic sanitation services while reducing public health risks and risks of contamination. The proposed project will reduce environmental hazards. The intervention is in line with the identified needs in the HNO 2022 and the WASH Cluster Vulnerability Mapping. It aligns with Objective 2 of the WASH Cluster and answers directly to the WASH priority for Gaza identified within the oPt HF 1st Standards Allocation Strategy. 

To prepare for this project, AAH conducted assessments in coordination with CMWU and applied the vulnerability criteria as outlined by the WASH cluster to ensure precise targeting and standardizing selection processes across WASH interventions. During the implementation, the work will be led in close collaboration with the municipalities and with the participation of the households’ representatives who will benefit from the project. Measures to minimize environment risks will be taken including the safe discharge of existing pits and safe removal of sludge. AAH will also ensure the use of sustainable material. AAH has a set of policies that it adheres to during implementation, including a WASH Environmental Policy and a Procurement Policy where environmental considerations are considered during logistics and support activities.  

In WASH, although deprivation affects all genders, women and girls are disproportionately affected as they bear the primary responsibility for the household, and they are expected to care for their relative health and cleanliness of the home. The proposed project will contribute to relieving the pressure placed on women and slightly decrease the level of efforts needed to maintain a healthy environment for the families while constituting a financial cost by removing the cost of desludging from the household’s expenditure (20-75 ILS a trip).
