Emergency response to improve access to safe, sufficient and affordable water for the vulnerable population in area C, West Bank The project will ‎aim to make available adequate and ‎safe drinking water for 1,145 families (5,500 individuals) of ‎the targeted communities and families living in Area “C” for household ‎purposes. Southern parts of Hebron Governorate, mainly southeast Yatta, are facing severe water stress due ‎to geopolitical factors. With the majority of its land classified as Area C, residents of the southern part of Hebron Governorate face difficult ‎living conditions including limited access to water resources. Based on the results of the Population, Housing and ‎Establishments Census 2017 conducted by PCBS, approximately, 15.5% of Hebron governorate drinking water is unsafe and unimproved. ‎Roughly, 20% of families are unserved and not connected to public water networks.
PARC conducted a thorough needs assessment covering the vulnerable communities in Areas C. Field visits, interviews and ‎questionnaires with local councils, municipalities, potential beneficiaries and community based ‎organizations were conducted. The assessment was completed in coordination with the PWA, private water providers and other water ‎related parties. The assessment revealed a high need of the communities in reducing distance to access to safe water and better access ‎to basic water services in order to increase the community resilience and to reduce their probability to be forcible displaced. These needs ‎are even more urgent for women and children, who are the most affected by water related issues within the household. Selection of ‎targeted communities, therefore, took into consideration of people who are highly affected by water access (under-served and/or un-‎served communities) and affected by forcible transfer. They are also those more severely affected by the impact of drought events, the ‎increase of water costs during the dry period and the lack of access to water.‎
In addition, PARC made a review of Area C's strategic Framework 2018 – 2019 and the water master plan for Area C ‎developed by PWA, GVC and AAH. The review informed the suggested activities for the project to be in line with the strategy's priorities, ‎which discuss the inclusion of the so-called 'Area C' in sustainable development.
The proposed activities will target vulnerable communities lacking sufficient access to water, and are dependent on purchasing trucked water to meet their water needs, through the construction/rehabilitation of water pipes. The targeted areas were identified as a priority for the 2nd standard allocation of 2019 HPF. 

Around 5310 M.L of water pipes will be constructed/rehabilitated in (Shkara, Biet Amra and Jourt Al-Jamal) communities in south of Yatta district , the implementation of the new pipelines will be in close coordination with the Palestinian Water authority (PWA),related local bodies and stakeholders.in specific: 
Shkara community: install an internal water network and link up the community with main source of water. The activity is to provide and install 300 M diameter 3 inch, 550 M diameter 2 inch and 600 M diameter 1 inch. 
Jourt Al-Jamal: install an internal water network and link up the community with main source of water. The activity is to provide and install 1650 M 4 inch, 600 M diameter 3 inch, 450 M diameter 2 inch and 500 M diameter 1 inch.
Biet Amra: link up the with main source of water, as the internal water network is available, the activity is to install 600 M diameter 6 inch only.
