Multi-sectorial Emergency response to the influx of new CAR refugees in Cameroon. This project aims to improve standards in life-saving and prioritised sectors for CAR new refugees who settle in 7 sites: protection, nutrition, WASH, shelter and basic domestic items. The CERF rapid response enabled to contribute to tackle the emergency needs of over 61,033 new refugees (against an initial plan targeting 45,000 refugees) transferred and currently hosted in the sites, but more resources are needed to reach the minimum standards and enable refugees to reach a sustainable level of well-being that will not deteriorate and bring the assisted refugees back to a situation of vulnerability and protection risks which would once again endanger their lives. UNHCR and partners will provide life-saving assistance to new CAR refugees, including some most vulnerable locals, settling within host villages where the living conditions are precarious because of lack of basic facilities and infrastructures and increased competition over the control or the access to natural resources and basic services.
Food support to populations affected by the Ebola Outbreak On 30 July 2014, the President of Sierra Leone declared a State of Emergency as the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak surged.  Strict measures reducing the movement of people, goods and services across district and state lines has impacted the economy and specifically food access, particularly as faming households are amongst the quarantined.  WFP aims to feed over 600,000 beneficiaries for 6 months in Sierra Leone including those receiving medical attention (hospitalized patients receiving treatment. contact cases in quarantine/observation) as well as communities in “hot” zones.  CERF funds will feed 60,000 for 3 months.
Provision of emergency child health and nutrition services The health and nutrition situation in the flood affected areas of Solomon Islands is fragile.  There are continuing reports of inappropriate and inadequate feeding support to children under 5 and steep increases in cases of diarrhea which is closely linked with malnutrition.  According to post floods surveillance reports, cases of acute fever, influence like illnesses and rash are also on the rise.  These could be a sign of an imminent measles outbreak in the flood affected areas.  
UNICEF is proposing to use CERF funds for emergency integrated supplementary immunization activities for measles (with vitamin A supplementation) for children under 5, treatment of severe acute malnutrition and moderate acute malnutrition for children under 5, micronutrient supplementation as well as promotion and support services for infant feeding in emergencies.

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.

Distribution of lifesaving emergency assistance to conflict affected individuals in Oromia and Somali Region The overall objective of the proposed intervention is to provide basic life-saving emergency assistance to conflict affected 17,316 individuals in Oromia and Somali region as shown in the table below. Out of these 14,344 individuals (2,658 HH) will receive standard ES/NFI kits, while 2,972 individuals (500 HH) will receive shelter assistance in terms of cash or in-kind support.  The provision this assistance will alleviate human suffering during the displacement of the affected communities and will provide much needed support to families without shelter and basic non-food-item kits.

The provision of shelter and non-food items will additionally support returning IDPs to their places of origin, when peace initiatives succeed, and to rebuild their shelter and household assets as the majority have lost everything during the conflict.

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.

WHO will also provide a minimum initial services package for sexual and reproductive health.
Riposte à l’épidémie de la Maladie Virale Ébola dans la Province de l’Équateur, en RDC On the 24th of August 2014, the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) announced the confirmation of an Ebola outbreak.  WHO has been supporting governments efforts in preventing its spread.  WHO’s response will support about 250,000 beneficiaries in the affected areas.  WHO will resond through activities related to case management, infection control, laboratory support and ensuring proper and safe burials.  CERF funded activities will take place for three months.
