Widespread damage to housing, clinics, and municipal networks—combined with fuel scarcity and rolling power cuts—has left families with limited access to safe water, food, health care, and sanitation. Overcrowded shelters strain privacy and hygiene, while disrupted markets and supply chains push essential goods out of reach.
Clinics face shortages of medicines, oxygen, and sterile supplies; water systems operate intermittently; and waste accumulates, driving preventable disease. Children, older adults, and people with disabilities encounter the greatest barriers to safe services and protection.
Relief must move quickly and safely while coordinating across sectors to restore dignity, reduce disease, and stabilize households amid access constraints.
Access & last-mile logistics: Map secure routes, pre-position stocks, and use scheduled distributions and limited home delivery to reach high-risk groups without crowding.
Multi-sector assistance package: Pair food and safe water with hygiene kits, emergency shelter materials, and basic health supplies so households can cope safely.
Power continuity & cold chain: Deploy solar/UPS solutions and fuel management to keep water chlorination, clinics, and vaccine/medicine cold chains operating.
Accountability & coordination: Apply transparent targeting, track deliveries in real time, maintain hotlines/feedback desks, and align with municipal and cluster partners to prevent duplication.
This project is designed to bolster food security and alleviate hunger in the Gaza Strip. It will focus on one of the densely populated camps of displaced individuals in Khan Younis City, providing food for 7 days during the holy month of Ramadan. The project will cater to 350 families in this displacement camp and the cooked food will include kidney beans, peas, or potatoes cooked with meat. Pots of cooked food will be prepared for 7 days and food will be served to the families sheltering in the camp. The total of meals will be 2,450 as the 350 families will receive their Iftar for 5 days.
