Protection and Dignity for women and children survivors of GBV in H2 The project of “ Protection and Dignity for women and children survivors of GBV in H2 ", aims to : " Enhance protection for women and children living in H2 to prevent and mitigate the effects of GBV through providing MHPSS for children and MHPSS, legal aid and economic enabling for women survivors of gender based violence (SGBV)" .
The project will be implemented in coordination and cooperation  with two active CBOs working inside H2 ( Ishraka ) which is part of the health Working Committee and Shark organization . This project seek  to achieve this outcome {:” The capacity of vulnerable women and children SGBV to cope with and overcome protracted crisis are increased}.
The project planned to reach 200  child including children with disablity who are vulnerable to GBV  and other harmful practices , and 815 women and girls  survivors or vulnerable to GBV including wampgwd.
In planning the activities of this project we put into consideration the effect of the current crises related to COVID 19 which led to increase the cases of domestic violence , we considered these two concerns :
1-	With isolation quarantine measures increasing stress at household level , is likely to achieve  higher risk of domestic violence
2-	With the deterioration of the economic situation , many men and women workers with daily wage has lost their main income , increasing their poverty , and leading to heightened GBV risks in household.
Despite COVID 19 did not spread in Hebron area , but the close of schools and universities ,and other measures link with the emergency in addition to the violations from the Israeli soldiers and settlers will contribute to double the suffering of women and children in H2
The project will implement the following activities :
1-	MHPSS for GBV survivors .
2-	Legal aid ( individual consultation , representation and legal awareness for women SGBV)
3-	Provide economic enablement for 70  women headed families in H2 , including women and girls with disablity
4-	Providing  awareness raising to GBV service providers.

PSCCW staff will coordinate with Mrs Kefah Abu Ghoush from stars of Hope organization who are expert in dealing with PWD needs , in addition we have a previous experience with community Based Rehabilitation program " CBR" , this program is part of the Arab Society for Rehabilitation Program (CBR) , This program is part of the Arab Society for Rehabilitation program , they are active in Hebron area.
The project will be integrated and targeted PWD ( mainly women and girls ) in the following activities :
1-	Women and girls with disabilities ( wampgwd) will receive individual MHPSS :
Economic empowerment :
-	 6 women with disability will receive vocational training.
 - 3 women with disability will establish their own income generating projects.
Raising awareness :
-	30 of care givers an parents of PWD will receive raising awareness to increase their knowledge and skills to deal better with the PWD and to avoid any harmful practices against them.
-	Integrate children with disability n ventilation activities with other children.
Enhanced quality of life for communities at risk of flooding in Jabalia Due to the poor storm water network in most of Gaza residential areas, communities use the sewage network to drain the rainwater, and this in turn caused the overloading of sewage networks and the sewage pumping stations. This pressure caused breakages in sewer pipes, causing storm water mixing with sewage water that in turn over-floods residential areas and sewage pumping stations. Due to poor infrastructure and power outages, Jabalia area is often subject to frequent floods of rainwater mixed with sewage, as rainwater is drained through sewage networks in most areas. 
Al Saftawi basin was constructed in a residential area at the western of Jabalia, with a total volume of 41,000 m3. The filtration system is insufficient and its efficiency has reduced due to accumulate of sludge and the sewage flood into the basin. In January 2020, the area was subjected to two successive floods and more than 7000 people were directly affected by the flood, while the flood caused restriction to the movement of 15,000 persons. The proposed project aims to mitigate the flooding and health risk for more than 7,000 persons in Jabalia and is designed to reduce the HHs and the public’s loss of economy and livelihood assets through improving the capacity of two main storm water facilities. Under the first outcome, the drainage capacity in Al Saftawi basin will be improved by constructing a new 2,150 m of 18-inch storm water pressure pipeline to discharge rain water from the basin to the existing storm water gravity pipeline. In parallel, SC will   carry out awareness raising activities to improve the flood risk awareness as well as hygiene promotion for 3,200 people from the targeted communities surrounding the storm water basins. 
The project proposal directly responds to the allocation strategy where it will address the need to repair pumping stations and storm-water facilities in order to deal with storm-water and wastewater floods. This will enhance the winter preparedness and protection for 21,000 vulnerable and unprotected people in Jabalia from storm-water and wastewater flooding. The project will reduce public health hazards affecting the targeted population by introducing mitigating measures to prevent untreated sewage contaminating critical water sources in the area, the flow of untreated sewage directly to streets damaging the surrounding environment.
The project builds on SCI experience in the oPt since 1956, and the established strong relationships with key stakeholders. SCI has extensive experience in directly implementing WASH projects in Gaza, where it is currently the WASH Cluster focal point for North Gaza and is part of the WASH Monitoring group. The proposed project will leverage SCI’s close working relationship with the PWA and CMWU for all WASH components, as well as other implementers of WASH interventions and local partners within the WASH Cluster.
No child left behind: An education opportunity for the most excluded and at risk in Gaza The proposed project is in line with the education sub-cluster HNO objectives 1 and 2 and aims to ensure that boys and girls have access to distance learning platforms following remote and/or online learning modalities. This project proposal was build based on the Ministry of Education return to school plan, and in close dialogue with the Ministry of Education partners. In addition, this project focuses on improving pupils’ learning capacity by integrating techniques for coping with traumatic stress into daily teaching and learning, and encouraging pupils’ natural recovery in vulnerable MoEHE schools in the Gaza Strip. This project was designed to address the recent emerged needs and gaps due to COVID-19 crises. The project will concentrate on the following four- fold approaches: i) Providing tailored training to teaching staff on the following aspects: a) running virtual classes, b) using appropriate teaching methodologies in virtual classes, c) Better Learning Program II (improving children’s learning capacities), d) running catch up classes. ii) Carrying out catch up classes for children that are not active in virtual classes. iii) Improving access of children to distance learning platforms. iv) Implementing the psycho-educational ‘Better Learning Program’ (BLP) in 15 MoE for the most vulnerable children. The programme will be implemented following the Ministry of Health and partners’ protective measures to protect NRC staff, teachers and students from getting the virus.
Emergency Repair of Essential WASH Facilities in the Gaza Strip The project aims at reducing the tragic consequences that will result from water disruption for approximately 157000 vulnerable people (including 41182 girls, 39909 boys, 38482 women, and 37427 men) in different underserved localities in the Gaza Strip. This project aims at securing access to domestic water for cooking and personal and domestic hygiene targeting the localities of Bait Hanoun, Bait Lahia, Khan yunis, and Al Shoka. According to the state of emergency declared by the Palestinian Authority after the confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the West Bank, a set of measures were recommended including mainly the applying of proper hygiene practices in order to avoid the outbreak of the disease in the oPt. In such a situation, the consequence of the malfunctioning of the domestic water wells will be catastrophic. The project is considered as an urgent intervention to address this concern. In addition, the intervention supports better preparedness for the summer season when the demand for water is significantly increased. The project will restore and maintain the services of five identified domestic water wells.

In addition, the project addresses the risks of wastewater floods due to lack of repairs of pumping stations facilities that leave over 30000 people (including 7869 girls, 7626 boys, 7352 women, and 7153 men) vulnerable and unprotected from a public health hazard. The targeted localities include Rafah, Jabalia, and Bait Hanoun. The intervention should support to strengthen WASH preparedness and response capacity of vulnerable communities to sewage floods and allows urgent emergency flood mitigation and repairs in the most flood borne areas. The project will restore and maintain the services of two identified sewage pump stations.

The project has been well coordinated with the CMWU and the WASH cluster. MA’AN will implement the proposed action relying on its extensive experience addressing WASH needs and key priorities in the Gaza Strip.
Addressing the urgent needs of the MoH to support the COVID 19 response plan in Gaza This project comes as part of the  quick response of the Health Cluster's Interagency COVID-19 Response Plan to the urgent needs of the MoH in Gaza to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the world has been struck hard by this crisis, Gaza was not immune. Global health systems are collapsing in the face of the corona virus and Gaza, with its collapsing health system due to the many factors playing a part in this, is on the brink of collapse if organisations and the international community do not act hastily. Medical Aid for Palestinians has reacted to the COVID 19 crisis releasing hygiene kits, drugs, disposables and PPE to the MoH. However, the needs are still vast and the HNC and MoH are releasing daily shortage of supplies that urgently need to be covered.

This project will be a procurement project improving MoH's preparedness to the COVID 19 crisis focusing on procuring and immediately releasing: PPE, Disinfectants/Anti-septic, disposables and medications. MAP has a strong history of being one of the earliest respondents to emergencies in Gaza and we also have a very adaptive procurement system that enables us to procure items in a fast fashion. Please note that the list of procurement were coordinated with MoH, HNC, WHO and UNICEF to avoid any duplication.
Ensure continuity of learning for vulnerable Palestine refugee children in the West Bank. UNRWA proposed intervention aims at ensuring continuity of learning to vulnerable UNRWA students in the West Bank. Through the provision of tablets and offline printed material to vulnerable students living in remote communities in Area C, UNRWA will ensure their access to education in the context of COVID-19 pandemic through its self-learning programme. Furthermore, 20 teachers will be equipped with laptops to plan and prepare the self-learning material.
Sustaining Essential Eye Care Services During Health Crisis (COVID-19) Eye care provision to the Palestinians in Jerusalem and the West Bank has been hugely affected by the full lockdown and the following strict restriction of movement by Palestine and Israel ophthalmic patients have been unable to access any of the eye care services nationally for more than six months, which have led to huge suffering of patients who could lose their sight being unable to access treatment services. The Ministry of Health has been unable to provide eye care for its own patients since the outbreak of COVID-19 and is now fully reliant on St. John, as its main referral center for MoH, to tackle the urgent unmet needs of its vulnerable patients.
St. John Eye Hospital Group, despite being the single largest provider of eye care services to the Palestinian, has also experienced a dramatic drop in the number of patients at its 4 facilities in East Jerusalem (main hospital), West Bank and Gaza. The first lockdown had resulted in more than 18,000 patients missing their scheduled medical appointments for examination and clinical treatment much worse, over 1,200 major sight‐saving surgeries were cancelled. These numbers are only representing SJEHG, and it is expected to be much higher on a national level. Many of those patients are under risk of losing their sight, either partially or fully.
The proposed one-year emergency project aims at ensuring availability and accessibility to the most essential quality eye care services by operating essential Cataract surgeries for patients who are under high risk of avoidable blindness if timely interventions did not take place.
Accordingly, St. John and the Ministry of Health have agreed a national emergency eye care plan, governed by a partnership memorandum of understanding, to respond to the urgent need for essential eye care services in time of health crisis (COVID-19) to vulnerable patients who have no other option for treatment. Many patients are currently unnecessarily blind or visually impaired because of treatable conditions and diseases. The Framework agreement initially targets MoH patients and non-MoH patients (i.e UNRWA) to receive the much needed services and therefore 70% of the cases will be selected by the Ministry of Health based on a certain criteria, and 30% will be UNRWA refugees, to whom St. John is the only resort for treatment.
The project will mainly target the most vulnerable population groups in the West Bank and East Jerusalem (as described in later sections) through our national partners Ministry of Health and UNRWA. Medically, patients with severe visual impairment caused by Cataract and Diabetic Retinopathy, both being the leading causes of avoidable blindness in Palestine, will be targeted as agreed upon with the Ministry of Health
Improving quarantine centers' and vulnerable households’ capacities to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic The proposed emergency intervention is aligned with the oPt COVID-19 Response Plan priorities and falls under the overall objectives and priorities identified to mitigate, prevent and manage the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in the oPt. In particular, the action responds to the Shelter and Non-Food Items Shelter Cluster’s Objective, ”Improve vulnerable households’ capacities and resilience to reduce the spread of the pandemic” and Objective 2, “Reduce the overcrowding in shelters to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19”.

ACTED already triggered a rapid mechanism to assist quarantine areas in Rafah governorate of Gaza Strip with NFIs and hygiene materials. By replenishing the existing stockpiling under this action, ACTED will provide 2000 customized hygiene kits (for males, females and children) and 15 cleaning kits to the 15 quarantine facilities in Rafah, Middle Area and Khan Younis governorates. In addition, the action will deliver hygiene kits to 1150 vulnerable households at higher risk of being affected by COVID-19 in Rafah, Middle Area and Khan Younis governorates . ACTED will distribute the purchased kits based on the emerging needs of quarantine centers and vulnerable households. The beneficiaries of the action will be prioritized through ACTED’s recent assessment and in fully coordination with the Shelter Cluster, based on the lists from the Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) and the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (MoPWH). Finally, through 5 Community-based Protection Committees (CBPCs) and the Community-based Emergency Response Network (CERN), established and trained by ACTED under previous projects in the targeted governorate, the action will contribute to support the RCCE plan by disseminating COVID-19 related information on a weekly basis, reaching all the communities in 3 governorates.

ACTED has already established a range of measure to both ensure the continuity of its work and to minimize exposure to the virus among the staff and, to the extent possible, beneficiaries. While adapting its work practices to maximize the number of staff who can work from home, ACTED maintains only strictly emergency movements to ensure delivery of humanitarian assistance to people in need. ACTED staff carrying out distributions is equipped with protective gear, wear latex gloves and masks and is provided with hand sanitizers. The proposed activities have been fully coordinated with the Shelter/NFI Cluster and with MA’AN in order to avoid overlapping of assistance. In fact, while MAAN will focus its intervention in Gaza and North Gaza governorate, ACTED will provide assistance in Middle Area, Rafah and Khan Younis governorates. The coordination mechanism will continue during the implementation in order to ensure complementarity and fill gaps when needed.
Conducting Surgeries, Issuing Referrals and Supporting Patients whose Permit Requests to Exit Gaza for Treatment have been Denied Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) will contribute to the Health Cluster objective 1, as its purpose is to provide and facilitate quality lifesaving and essential services to the most vulnerable Palestinian communities through surgeries and referrals, and supporting patients whose permits to exit Gaza have been denied and who desperately need treatment - such as cancer treatment - that is not available in the Strip. These activities were based on the needs identified by the 2nd Standard Allocation Strategy Paper.

Five medical delegations consisting of volunteer surgeons-specialists will travel to Gaza for two to three days in order to conduct surgeries in an array of fields such as vascular surgery, chest surgery, neurology, orthopedics, pediatrics, ENT, among other. These delegations will be conducted in coordination with the Palestinian Ministry of Health and local surgeons who will identify the needs of specifically complex surgeries prior to the delegation taking place. In addition, PHRI will supply missing medical equipment and surgical tools needed for the surgeries. In addition, PHRI will facilitate referrals for 80 patients seeking medical care outside their areas of residence. In some appropriate and/or emergency cases, PHRI will also fund such treatments, tests or follow-up examinations. 

PHRI will intervene to reverse the exit permit denials of 170 cases of patients who need treatment unavailable in Gaza. PHRI will sometimes use legal action combined with a range of tools to tackle individual cases and will also resort to strategic litigation to challenge general criteria according to which permits are denied. PHRI will focus particularly on the issue of child separation and cancer patients.
Ensure accessibility and safety of WASH facilities in health care centers and increase access to hygiene and health services for the most vulnerable Palestinians in H2 area of Hebron The proposed action is a COVID-19 emergency response intervention aiming at improving the WASH facilities in health care centers and implementing community-based hygiene programs in order to provide protection to vulnerable Palestinians living in H2 area of Hebron and mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak. The project is part of the oPt Humanitarian Response Plan for 2020 and focuses particularly on the second strategic objective “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 IHL”. In line with the first objective of the HF 2020 1st Standard Allocation, the project fully supports the implementation of the Hebron ICCG Plan in the West Bank. In fact, it is in line with the WASH Cluster first strategic objective: “Ensure equitable, affordable and sustainable access to safe and sufficient WASH services with dignity for the unserved, underserved and most vulnerable Palestinians living under occupation in Gaza and the West Bank”.

This proposition is based on ACTED assessments, extensive consultations with the Ministry of Health (MoH) in Hebron and other key stakeholders including OCHA’s Head of South Office and the partner Health Work Committees (HWC), a Palestinian non-profit organization with extensive experience in providing health and protection services in H2. The proposition follows the recommendations of WASH Cluster and oPt Covid-19 Response Plan as it will contribute to prevent further transmission of COVID-19 in the oPt as well as mitigate the worst effects of the pandemic. The needs assessed in terms of accessibility, acceptability and quality of healthcare in H2 have been confirmed as still valid and unmet in 2020 by the Health Work Committees (HWC). New needs, identified and assessed by ACTED in 2020, have seriously emerged in terms of rehabilitation of WASH facilities inside the target health care facilities.

Through this project, key sanitation facilities will be rehabilitated in line with SPHERE standards within 4 main healthcare centers, and 21 staff of the 7 health care facilities in H2 will be trained online to ensure the facilities are properly operated and maintained. In addition, the project will provide all the 7 health care facilities operating in H2 with hand-washing stations and cleaning, hygiene and protection kits in coordination with MoH and based on their needs and specifications. Finally, ACTED and HWC will raise awareness on hygiene and COVID-19 related topics and will distribute hygiene kits to 500 vulnerable households (2,400 individuals) in H2.
