Description:
March 2025 - The humanitarian crisis in the West Bank and Gaza remains dire, with the UN estimating that 3.3 million people (1 million children), require life-saving assistance in 2025. The health system in the Gaza Strip continues to be dismantled and devastated by attacks, with70% of hospitals non-functional due to fuel shortages and damage. Overcrowded living conditions and poor sanitation have caused a rise in communicable diseases, while severe restrictions delay and disrupt humanitarian efforts to provide essential health care and services.
With GAC’s support, the World Health Organization (WHO) responds to immediate health needs in Gaza and the West Bank, with the aim to save lives, alleviate suffering and maintain human dignity.
Project activities include: (1) increasing access to essential health services, (2) enhancing disease surveillance and diagnostic systems to improve early detection and response to outbreaks, and (3) supporting the coordinated delivery of health services with UN agencies, international and national partners, and donors.
Organization:
Global Affairs Canada
Expected Results:
The expected outcomes of the project include: 1) increased access to critical health services for affected populations, 2) increased procurement and delivery of medical supplies, and 3) increased coordination of health providers in the West Bank and Gaza.
