Provision of emergency food assistance and livelihoods support for newly-displaced populations in North, South and Central Darfur This joint WFP-FAO food security project aims to reduce acute food insecurity of some 110,000 new IDPs in El Fasher, Korma, Mellit, Zam Zam, El Salam, Kalma, Otash and Um Dukhun in Darfur.  In particular, WFP will provide half-rations to 110,000 people for a three to four-month period.

Emergency response to most critical health needs of the population affected by Anbar crisis The conflict has rendered access to health facilities very difficult, particularly for the most vulnerable such as elderly and patients suffering from chronic diseases that are unable to get their medications and are at high risk of having complications from of the chronic health conditions not properly managed. This is also compounded by the limited number of the few health facilities that are still working but are no longer are no longer able to provide even lifesaving interventions.  The situation is compounded by the fact Anbar had already some of the worst health indicators in the country even before the current crisis, as well as the low immunization coverage rates for measles and polio.

The overall objective of the joint WHO/UNICEF/UNFPA health project is to ensure that affected population from Anbar and host communities within Anbar and in other governorates hosting population from Anbar have access to quality live saving public health services focusing on most vulnerable population.  The three agencies estimate that 100,000 IDPs and 400,000 individuals in host communities will benefit from the services and supplies.

In particular, WHO (14-RR-WHO-003) will support the Ministry of Health, Iraqi Red Crescent Society and other health partners to provide essential medicines and medical supplies; establish a disease surveillance system to respond immediately to outbreaks; and support the cold chain for measles and polio vaccination campaigns.

Application Summary

On 9 July 2014, a humanitarian emergency was declared in the Gaza Strip, following a severe escalation in hostilities involving intense Israeli aerial and navy bombardment and Palestinian rocket firing. The humanitarian impact of these hostilities comes against a backdrop of heightened vulnerability and instability in Gaza.

Since the current escalation in hostilities began, the situation on the ground has evolved rapidly and needs have increased markedly. An Israeli ground operation began on 18 July which alongside continued intense shelling and airstrikes, has resulted in a high level of civilian casualties, the widespread destruction of buildings and infrastructure and a steep rise in internally displaced persons (IDPs). As of 14 August, current hostilities had resulted in almost 2,000 fatalities (at least 1,416 civilians, including 459 children and 238 women), almost  10,000 injuries and the destruction or severe damage to 16,800 homes. 350,000 people are displaced in UNRWA schools,government schools or with host families. Priority for humanitarian agencies are the provision of food, water and NFI to those displaced, as well as protection,  WASH, water, health and solid waste removal.

On 15 August James Rawley, DSRSG/HC/RC for the oPt submitted an application to the CERF, covering the health, protection, WASH, and food assistance sectors.  The CERF secretariat responded the following day with comments and request for further information on the projects.

Special Operation (200760) Provision of Humanitarian Air Services in response to the Ebola Virus Disease Outbreak in West Africa The number of international airlines suspending flights into and out of Sierra Leone, continues to increase. At the same time the humanitarian community is scaling up its presence with the deployment of additional personnel, especially health personnel. These increased staff movements against a backdrop of diminishing access to commercial aviation services requires the urgent deployment of the United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) in order to fill the widening air transport gap. 
WFP UNHAS in Sierra Leone aims to provide necessary air services to the humanitarian community.  With CERF funding of US1.26 million, WFP plans to transport people and cargo for two months within EVD affected countries.
