Description:
March 2025 - West Bank and Gaza continue to experience deteriorating humanitarian conditions, with high levels of need in water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), multi-purpose cash assistance (MPCA), nutrition and protection. In 2025, the UN estimated that 3.3 million people (1 million children) require life-saving assistance. Widespread damage to infrastructure and limited humanitarian access created critical needs for WASH and health-care services across the Gaza Strip. Food insecurity is worsening and exposes 322,000 children to the risk of malnutrition. In the West Bank, violence and economic hardship impact over 830,000 people needing health care and WASH support.
With GAC’s support, the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) helps provide life-saving support in WASH, health, nutrition, child protection, social protection and cash transfers while supporting system restoration to children and their families, across the Gaza strip and the West Bank. Project activities include: (1) repairing, operating and maintaining water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructure and services; (2) enhancing primary-level care through mobile clinics while improving secondary care; (3) prevention, early detection and treatment of wasting, including through provision of complementary food, supplements, counselling and social and behaviour change; (4) providing vulnerable households with multi-purpose cash payments; and (5) preventing exploitation and sexual abuse and strengthening survivor assistance by enhancing grassroots initiatives and by expanding feedback mechanisms.
