Title:

Gaza crisis - Emergency Shelter Response - CARE Canada 2025

Agreement Number:

7467592 P015875001

Agreement Value:

$2,000,000.00

Agreement Date:

May 29, 2025 - Apr 30, 2026

Description:

April 2025 – In Gaza, the shelter conditions for displaced populations are critically inadequate. Satellite imaging shows that 69% of total structures have been damaged or destroyed, with the governorates of North Gaza and Rafah (located in southern Gaza) having experienced the highest rise in damage (UNOSAT, Dec 2024). Across Gaza, individuals and families are currently housed primarily in schools, other public buildings, and makeshift camps, which are now severely overcrowded and operating beyond their intended capacities. Most shelters are made from inadequate materials, leading to poor air circulation and vulnerability to weather-related issues, which in turn pose significant health risks. Moreover, the overall transparency of shelter materials further compromises privacy and safety. With DFATD`s support, CARE will save lives, alleviate suffering, and maintain human dignity through Shelter interventions for vulnerable/crisis-affected people in Gaza, in particular women and girls. Project activities include: (1) distributing shelter non-food item (SNFI) kits to vulnerable IDP and returnee households, particularly women and girls.; (2) providing cash-for-shelter to vulnerable IDP and returnee households, particularly women and girls.

Organization:

Global Affairs Canada

Expected Results:

The expected outcome for this project includes: (1) increased equitable use of gender-sensitive assistance by crisis-affected people, particularly women and girls, to meet Shelter needs in Gaza.
