OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY CONSOLIDATED APPEAL MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
1. SUMMARY
The humanitarian situation in the occupied
Palestinian territory (oPt) during the first five
months of 2013 remained unchanged as the
key drivers of vulnerability remained in place.
The protracted crisis in the oPt is
compounded by recurrent conflict (especially
in Gaza) and natural disasters, which
increase humanitarian needs. For example,
the escalation in hostilities in Gaza and
southern Israel in November 2012, and the
severe storm that hit the oPt in January 2013
both exacerbated pre-existing vulnerabilities,
and in some cases generated new needs.

So far in 2013, a number of worrying trends
$223
have emerged, which point to a potential
increase in instability. In the West Bank, in
the first five months of 2013, 2,527 Palestinians were injured and eight Palestinians (mostly
males) were killed, by Israeli forces, largely in the context of demonstrations and resulting
clashes, compared to 1,442 Palestinians injured and three Palestinians killed during the same
period in 2012. In Gaza, the 21 November 2012 agreement that ended the escalation in
hostilities has come under strain. After an extended period of calm in early 2013, Palestinian
factions resumed the firing of rockets at southern Israel, and Israel adopted a series of measures
that have negatively impacted civilians, including the intermittent closure of the Kerem Shalom
crossing to goods, temporary heightened restrictions on the movement of people across the Erez
Crossing and a temporary further reduction of the fishing zone. These measures have raised
concerns among the humanitarian community regarding Israel’s obligations under international
humanitarian law. There is also uncertainty regarding the remaining restrictions imposed on land
and sea areas (the Access Restricted Areas) and serious concerns have been raised regarding
the methods of enforcing these access restrictions.
At mid-year, while there have been some project adjustments, overall requirements remain
largely unchanged. The CAP 2013 currently requests US$400.8 million1 to implement 167
projects in the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank (particularly Area C, the Seam Zone and East
Jerusalem) and continues to focus on the two strategic priorities outlined in the 2012-2013
Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP).

OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY CONSOLIDATED APPEAL MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
The CAP is currently 55% funded, which is comparable to the mid-year funding level of the 2012
CAP (59%).2 Progress towards the strategic objectives has been mixed, and although this is
often linked to cluster/sector funding levels, there is sometimes also a correlation with nonfunding related challenges.
A key priority for the coming period will be strengthening the links between humanitarian and
development programming in the oPt, as the UN Country Team moves towards finalizing the first
UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) for Palestine for 2014-2016. It is envisaged
that programming under the CAP 2014 will take into account development efforts contained in the
UNDAF 2014-2016, which has in turn factored in national development plans and the
comparative advantages of UN agencies.
2
In absolute terms funding received in 2013 to date ($219 million) is less than at this time last year ($263 million), due to
the lower CAP request for 2013,

CAP Mid-year Review
As of June 2013
Crisis Description
Strategic Objectives
Drivers of crisis:
1.
Enhance the protection of populations in Gaza, Area C, the Seam Zone
and East Jerusalem by promoting respect for International
Humanitarian Law and human rights; preventing or mitigating the
impacts of violations; improving equitable access to essential services
and ensuring the effective integration of protection considerations in
service provision interventions.*
2.
Help improve the food security of vulnerable and food-insecure
communities in the oPt, with particular focus on Gaza, Area C, the
Seam Zone and East Jerusalem by improving economic access to
food, supporting access to a greater variety of food or providing direct
food assistance.
 The main aspects of the occupation
persist, resulting in continuing
humanitarian vulnerabilities/needs
among Palestinians in Gaza, Area C,
the Seam Zones, and East Jerusalem.
 Serious protection and human rights
concerns, limited access to essential
services and entrenched levels of food
insecurity continue to characterize the
day-to-day lives of many Palestinians.

*The CAP addresses humanitarian needs in the areas where the Palestinian Authority is least able to extend
its control, and therefore does not focus on needs in Areas A and B of the West Bank. However, in the event
of a catastrophe or disaster, the area of response can be expanded as needed.

Note Protection: The total number of people in need of protection interventions is difficult to quantify, given the nature of
protection risks and responses. Potentially all people in Gaza, Area C, the Seam Zone and East Jerusalem may be in need of
a protection intervention, and actual needs will depend on factors that are difficult to predict. The numbers for people targeted
and reached are closest estimates and should be considered as the minimum.
Note Food: For an explanation of the 6% higher number of targeted people versus people in need for Food, please see the
Food response plan on pages 26-27.

2. UPDATE ON CONTEXT AND NEEDS
Changes in the context
The humanitarian situation in oPt during the first five months of 2013 remained unchanged.
Longstanding protection threats affecting the Palestinian population, including movement and
access restrictions, have continued to generate high levels of humanitarian need. On the political
front, there was a renewed push by the United States to resume peace negotiations.
In the West Bank, eight Palestinian civilians were killed (including one woman and two children)
and another 2,527 injured (828 of them children and 38 women) by Israeli forces during the first
five months of the year, compared to three fatalities and 1,442 injuries (including 221 children and
20 women) during the same period in 2012. While the majority of injuries were caused by
inhalation of tear gas, there was also a significant increase in the number of civilians injured by
rubber-coated metal bullets and live ammunition (1,092). The majority of these casualties
occurred in the context of clashes that erupted during demonstrations in solidarity with Palestinian
prisoners in Israeli prisons, and in protests against movement and access restrictions and
settlement activity. The increase in civilian casualties has raised concerns about excessive use
of force by Israeli forces. The UN has called for such occurrences to be investigated in a timely,
thorough, independent and impartial manner.3

Since the beginning of 2013, the Israeli authorities demolished 254 Palestinian homes and other
structures in Area C and East Jerusalem on the grounds of lack of Israeli-issued building permits.
This has resulted in the displacement of 466 Palestinians, more than half of them children.4 More
than 1,000 others have been otherwise affected. In terms of monthly averages, while the number
of structures demolished in the first five months of 2013 is roughly the same as in 2012 (50
structures), the number of people displaced has risen by 26% (from 73 to 92). As of end of May
2013, 45 donor-funded structures, including emergency tents provided in response to previous
demolitions, have been demolished and an estimated 150 donor-funded structures may be at risk
of demolition. (See the Demolitions in the West Bank map in Annex II).

located in areas designated by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) as “firing zones”. Most residents
in these “firing zones” have limited or difficult access to services (such as education and health)
and no service infrastructure (including water, sanitation and electricity infrastructure).
In the first five months of 2013, 52 incidents of settler violence resulting in Palestinian casualties
and 127 incidents resulting in destruction of or damage to Palestinian property were recorded.
The lack of effective prevention and investigation of settler violence by Israeli authorities remains
an issue of concern. Less than nine 9% of 781 investigations into incidents of settler violence
between 2005 and 2011 conducted by Israeli police resulted in indictments.6 Settler violence
against Palestinians and their property in the West Bank has a detrimental impact on the security
of families and communities, and on access to livelihoods, natural resources, and education. (See
the Settler violence incidents in the West Bank map in Annex II).

In the Gaza Strip, on-going, long-term restrictions on free movement of people and goods have
continued to have an adverse effect on the lives and livelihoods of the civilian population.
November’s eight day escalation in hostilities exacerbated existing vulnerability in areas such as
education (particularly with regard to the shortage of infrastructure), water, sanitation and hygiene
(WASH), and health (the supply of medicines and medical disposables).7 The escalation of
hostilities was ended by an understanding between Israel and Hamas, which reportedly made
positive statements regarding an easing of access restrictions faced by Palestinians in Gaza. In

As a result of additional needs resulting from escalation in hostilities in Gaza and southern Israel in November 2012,
the 2013 CAP was revised upwards by $27 million to address needs, mainly in Agriculture, Education, Health, Protection
and WASH. Detailed revised needs per cluster/sector are presented in the January 2013 CAP Update for Gaza.

the days following the ceasefire, the restrictions imposed at sea were eased from three to six
nautical miles from the coast (compared to the 20-nautical-mile limit outlined in the Oslo
Agreements). (See the map on Gaza Strip: Access and Closure map in Annex II)
With regard to agricultural land along Gaza’s perimeter fence, restrictions on access largely
remain in place. However, in some locations, access restrictions have been less frequently
enforced beyond the 300 metre zone. The agreement has been put under increasing strain in
2013. After an extended period of calm in early 2013, Palestinian factions resumed rocket fire at
southern Israel, while Israeli authorities adopted a series of measures that impacted civilians in
the Gaza Strip. This included the intermittent closure of the Kerem Shalom crossing to goods
(the crossing was closed for 36 out of 63 days from 27 February until 30 April, including 13 days
for closures in response to rocket-fire, six for holidays, and 17 for regular closures on weekend
days), as well as further restrictions on the movement of people across the Erez crossing. In
addition, between 21 March and 21 May, the fishing zone was temporarily reduced from six to
three nautical miles from the coast. These restrictions have raised concerns among the
humanitarian community regarding Israel’s obligations under international humanitarian law.
Such heightened restrictions resulted in temporary shortages of cooking gas, dairy products and
fresh fruit, compounding the already high levels of vulnerability.
The enforcement by Israeli forces of Access Restricted Areas (ARAs) on land and at sea in the
first five months of 2013 led to the killing of two Palestinians, and injury of 32 persons (including
eight children). Despite improvements observed in access to land and sea areas since the
November agreement, some fishers and farmers have been reluctant to invest in newly
accessible areas due to lack of resources and/or fear that restrictions may again be increased.
For example, expensive equipment that some fishers invested in following the November
agreement will be less effective if used at shorter distances. This uncertainty has had a
detrimental impact on sustainable livelihoods of farmers and fishers.
Update on needs by clusters/sectors
Below are updated needs analyses provided by clusters and sectors, where there have been
changes of note since the January 2013 CAP update.
Food security
The Socio-Economic and Food Security Survey (SEFSEC) 2012 shows an alarming deterioration
in food security in Palestine. 8 Overall food insecurity levels rose 24% in 2012 over 2011 levels.
Currently, an estimated 57% of households in Gaza and 19% in the West Bank are foodinsecure, with an additional 14 and 17%, respectively, at risk of falling into food insecurity.
Female-headed households represent 9% of West Bank households and 8% of those in the Gaza
Strip. These households have high unemployment rates, high levels of food insecurity and are
prioritized in many food assistance interventions.
8
The SEFSEC is conducted jointly by WFP, FAO, UNRWA, and the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS).

Food insecurity is driven by four main factors: 1) continued shocks relating to the occupation; 2)
budget deficits and delayed payments of the Palestinian Authority (PA); 3) slowdown in economic
growth; and 4) high cost for food and other essentials, together with low wages, and increasing
unemployment. Palestinian households continue to dedicate the largest share of their total cash
expenditure to food, making them particularly vulnerable to hikes in food prices and income
fluctuations.9
In the Gaza Strip, 74% of people received assistance in 2012 compared to 24% in the West
Bank. Although a large percentage of the population receives assistance, any additional shock in
the West Bank or Gaza economies will lead to significant deterioration in food security levels.
Should donor funding continue to decrease, the PA’s fiscal crisis is expected to deteriorate. This
will have a direct impact on some of the most fragile segments of the population who receive
assistance through the PA’s Social Safety Net, and on those dependent on the public sector.
The Agricultural Sector is currently studying the macro-economic implications of a slowdown in
GDP growth or the outpacing of creation of new jobs by the rise in the labour population (37,000
additional people became unemployed in 2012) for various agricultural livelihood groups.
Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH)
Additional concerns in WASH have been identified in the past five months. In Gaza, the WASH
situation remains critical with less than 10% of available groundwater resources suitable for
drinking purposes. This is a major factor that heightens the impact of other vulnerabilities, and
forms the context for a number of interventions that were provided following the escalation in
hostilities in November 2012, such as the provision of chlorine. Overall, vulnerabilities were
further heightened as a result of the escalation, as detailed in the Gaza inter-agency Initial Rapid
Assessment.
9
The cash-expenditure ratio in 2012 was 50% of total expenditure in the Gaza Strip and 47% in West Bank.
11
OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY CONSOLIDATED APPEAL MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
In the West Bank, over one million people continue to access less than 60 litres per capita per
day of water (l/c/d). The Palestinian Water Authority (PWA) confirms that there will be no
increase in available water quantities this summer. Although rainfall rates reported for some of
the areas within the West Bank have exceeded the corresponding historical average, less than
average rainfall during the 2012/2013 winter in Hebron has reduced quantities available for
harvesting to an average of 67 m3 (per household) or 25 l/c/d.10 Furthermore, households have
already started to consume the harvested quantities, leaving only 40% to 50% stored for the
summer. These families are expected to increase expenditure on water by 30%. A similar
situation has been reported for other parts of the West Bank. Organizations maintaining field
presence in other areas also receiving less than average rainfall (an estimated 75% of historical
average) confirm similar conditions. Demolition of water infrastructure has also continued into
2013 with demolition of four latrines, five cisterns and six water tanks in addition to damage of two
water tanks at the end of April 2013, further increasing the vulnerability of households suffering
from water scarcity.
Winter storm hits the oPt, January 2013
Between 7 and 10 January, a severe winter
storm hit oPt, exacerbating pre-existing
vulnerabilities. Some 12,500 people in 190
communities in Gaza and the West Bank
were negatively impacted by the loss of, or
damage to, residences and agricultural
livelihoods due to flooding and strong winds.
Over 1,570 homes across the oPt sustained
damage due to flooding and strong winds,
some 200 homes were severely damaged or destroyed, and 650 people were temporarily
displaced. The Agriculture Sector was one of the hardest hit by the severe weather
conditions. Herders and farmers experienced losses in the form of damaged structures
and loss of winter crops and animals which will require months to recover from. The
impact of the storm’s damage on agricultural livelihoods was estimated at $16.5 million
and a number of interventions primarily to address livestock mortality, rehabilitation of
greenhouses, and the repair of agricultural roads serving isolated communities are ongoing.
Emergency response interventions were largely implemented by the Palestinian Civil
Defence teams and the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS). The UN and other
international organizations worked to cover emerging needs and gaps, including
distribution of non-food items (plastic sheeting, mattresses and blankets), as well as food
assistance. Israeli authorities helped with coordination of delivery of assistance in the
West Bank. This extreme weather event highlighted the need for increased investment in
disaster risk reduction (DRR), preparedness and response approaches by relevant
authorities in oPt. Efforts have since been on-going to enhance DRR capacities, including
coordination between governmental and international actors.

3. ANALYSIS OF FUNDING TO DATE
The original oPt CAP (developed before the November 2012 escalation of hostilities) requested
$374.3 million, and this amount was increased to $401.6 in the CAP update at the beginning of
2013.11 During the mid-year review of the oPt 2013 CAP, the latest CAP requirements of $401.6
million (as at January 2013) were slightly reduced to $400.8 million.
Funding to the appeal at mid-year
Of the $400.8 million in revised requirements at the end of June, $219 million (55%) has been
met. This figure includes $5.9 million in carry-over funds from 2012, and $8.2 million from the
CERF Rapid Response window to respond to needs arising from Operation “Pillar of Defense”.
This is almost the same amount that the 2012 CAP had received by the same time last year
(59%, or in absolute terms $263 million out of $419.9 million).
Funding has been relatively even across clusters, most of which have received between 30% and
60% of requirements. The best-funded sectors in 2013 continue to be Food (60%) and Protection
(49%), while Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene and Cash for Work continue to be significantly
underfunded in 2013, having received only 12% and 33% respectively of requested funds.
Projects in Gaza have received almost half ($104.2 million) of the total funding received to date,
although this amount only equates to 46% of the funds requested. Projects in the West Bank
have received $46.5 million, or 47% of the amount requested. More than $68 million have been
reported for projects spanning both the West Bank and Gaza.
The lion’s share of funding received to date has benefited the larger UN agencies (88.5% of total
contributions). It should be noted that while UN agencies have received the bulk of the
contributions to date they have actually received only 61% of their requested funds, while
international non-government organizations (INGOs) and non-government organizations (NGOs)
have received far less than their total requested funds; 11.4% and 31% respectively. However, it
is important to note that local NGOs are benefitting through partnerships with UN agencies and
INGOs. Out of a total of 167 projects in the appeal, 85 are in partnership with local NGOs or
community-based organizations (CBOs) with a total request amount of $96.2 million or 24% of
the requested amount.
66% of funds received to date have been directed towards projects designed to contribute
significantly to gender equality ($144.4 million), although projects directly responding to gender
equality are only 38% funded.
Much funding has been received late, and in some cases agencies have had to scale back
programmes. Lack of funding has had an impact in a number of key areas. For example:
Agriculture: Progress in meeting objectives has been strongly correlated with the level of funding
received. Of the 23 projects submitted, eight received funding (excluding ERF-funded projects)
yet only three projects are currently operational since the funding has only recently been
received. No projects submitted by Palestinian NGOs attracted funding.
Cash-for-Work (CfW): The Cash-for-Work Sector is currently 33.2% funded. Underfunding has
disproportionately affected Gaza with lower rates of implementation against targets. Without a
11
http://www.ochaopt.org/documents/ocha_opt_cap_factsheet_January_2013_english.pdf
13
OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY CONSOLIDATED APPEAL MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
significant increase in support to Gaza CfW projects, the sector will not reach its targets by the
end of the year. Gaza partners further note that shortfalls in funding are particularly affecting
women, with one agency only able to meet 29% of its mid-year target of female beneficiaries.
Overall the sector’s implementation rate has been affected by late arrival of funding. Four NGOs
and one UN agency have been unable to commence some or all of their approved CAP projects
to date. Those who now have funding confirmed that they will be able to fully implement projects
by the end of the year with some modification to their programming.
Education: The Education Cluster is currently only 30% funded. Underfunding may have a
disproportionate impact on quality and access to education in Gaza and East Jerusalem.
Although some projects are funded in Gaza, some donors may find it difficult to support projects
earmarked for Gaza. The blockade in Gaza continues to affect funding in some cases where
funding has been allocated but remains unutilized due to the blockade. In East Jerusalem the
complexity of the education system, characterized by multiple, fragmented service providers,
makes response particularly difficult.
Food: The Food Sector has received 60% of its $160 million funding requirements, which is close
to the 2012 mid-year figure of 62%. The Food Sector’s funding received to date is $96.3 million.
The generous funding provided by donors has been timely and instrumental in meeting some of
the urgent food needs and contributing to the objectives of the Food Sector. However, continued
funding is required to avoid pipeline breaks in some projects, potentially leading to disruptions in
the food sector’s regular on-going assistance to targeted beneficiaries and/or reductions in food
rations. Donors meet Food Sector representatives bilaterally on a regular basis and in regular
Friday Working Group meetings coordinated by OCHA and ECHO.
Health and Nutrition: A lack of funds continues to result in shortages of drugs and medical
disposables in the West Bank and particularly Gaza, and continues to limit delivery of health
services.12 CARE, for example, has received no funds for its programme targeting 200,000
beneficiaries with medical supplies in Gaza and will be forced to suspend services to 44
vulnerable communities in the West Bank (affecting 46,000 people) if funding is not received
beyond the end of May. Funding shortages have also affected access to quality health care for
3,000 older men and women and will also affect delivery of reproductive health services to 78,793
beneficiaries. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) used its resources to respond to
urgent needs in commodities and has continued to work on the continuum of care project, which
was funded under the 2012 CAP. Lack of funding has also limited response (for example by the
Gaza Community Mental Health Programme (GCMHP)) to overwhelming psychological needs,
including those of children resulting from November’s military operation in Gaza. Health Sector
coordination has also been affected by shortages in funds. Despite this, WHO has maintained
essential coordination functions. Health partners have also been unable to monitor access of
West Bank populations and medical students to East Jerusalem hospitals.
Protection: UNICEF has been unable to implement its mine risk education project in Gaza under
the Protection Cluster. This remains a pressing need in light of the increase in casualties of
explosive remnants of war (ERWs).
WASH: The lack of funding and late arrival of donor disbursements directly correlates with low
achievement rates in the first half of 2013. For all NGO partners, projects have not been started
due to delays in the finalization of donor contributions. As a result, only 12% of the requested
amount for the CAP 2013 has materialized to date. An estimated 27% of requested funds have
12

14
OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY CONSOLIDATED APPEAL MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
been provided with provisional approval from donors (86% for INGOs, 4% local NGOs and 10%
UN). However, a number of activities have been supported through the Emergency Response
Fund (ERF) and the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF).
Activities addressing immediate needs not included in the CAP 2013 response plan have also
been implemented or are being planned by partners. In Gaza, the International Committee of the
Red Cross (ICRC) is currently rehabilitating storm water lines, in addition to the emergency repair
of wastewater collection and treatment facilities and water infrastructure. Islamic Relief is working
on improving access to safe drinking water for disadvantaged households, rehabilitation of water
network lines, water treatment and public health and hygiene promotion activities all in Gaza.
UNDP is also providing urgent services in Gaza through its Emergency Water Supply and
Rehabilitation Programme. In the West Bank, planned non-CAP interventions include response
to post-emergency needs following demolition of WASH infrastructure, joint water scarcity
response, and emergency distribution of water.
Pooled Funding
Resource mobilization in response to the November 2012 escalation in Gaza: CERF Rapid
Response and ERF
Based on the findings of an UN and NGO inter-agency Multi-cluster Initial Rapid Assessment
carried out in January 2013 to assess the impact of the November 2012 hostilities in Gaza and
southern Israel, oPt secured $8.2 million under the CERF’s Rapid Response Window. CERF
funding allowed humanitarian partners to mount a quick response to urgent needs in relation to
shelter/NFIs, psychosocial support, legal remedies, health, water, sanitation and hygiene, rubble
removal, and risks related to explosive remnants of war. The eight funded projects were closely
coordinated with cluster priorities, with a particular focus on the Protection Cluster. The ERF
complemented the CERF funding through support to eight projects worth over $1.5 million.
These projects delivered much-needed potable water, basic sanitation, psychosocial support,
restoration of basic livelihoods and repairs to schools.
Funding channelled through the ERF
As of mid-year, the ERF has approved 18 projects to address needs for WASH, Health &
Nutrition, Agriculture, Protection and Education for a total amount of $2.9 million, compared to 11
projects for a total amount of $2.4 million in the same period in 2012. Of the projects approved,
seven projects were implemented directly by national NGOs and five by international NGOs.
Three projects were implemented in partnership between national and international NGOs and
one was implemented by a UN agency. The ERF proved instrumental in responding to needs
that followed the January storm and subsequent cold wave. Five projects were funded through
the ERF for more than $1.1 million, mainly in the Agriculture and Livestock Sector. In the context
of chronic humanitarian funding gaps, the ERF has become a key financing mechanism that
allows the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) to focus on the most urgent needs in oPt. Six ERF
funded structures have been demolished in 2013, and 67 other ERF-funded structures are
currently at risk of demolition.
15
OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY CONSOLIDATED APPEAL MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
Overall funding to the emergency and outside appeal funding
To date, $67 million has been secured in humanitarian funding outside the CAP.13 The
percentage of funding outside the appeal as a percentage of the total is 23%. UNRWA’s
Emergency Appeal is currently 42% funded. Food assistance outside the CAP has helped meet
important mid- and longer-term objectives in the West Bank, focusing on conditional activities and
school feeding. Although these aren’t predominant amongst food sector activities, they
nonetheless play an important role in meeting food security needs.

Progress towards Strategic Objective One has been mixed. Education partners are on track with
regards to meeting targets on protective presence with 16 out of 25 locations covered to date.
Health partners are almost on track with regards to coverage of health services to 44% of the
target group. Overall the Protection Cluster has made good progress; however the target for the
number of caregivers and professionals has only been partially met. The cluster decided to
revise downwards its target for number of people provided with emergency assistance following
conflict-related shocks, and to better reflect the number of cases to which it had responded. A
number of WASH targets were revised significantly upwards following Operation “Pillar of
Defence”. Funding remains the main obstacle to achieving strategic objectives. A considerable
part of WASH targets were met through CERF and ERF funding, e.g. chlorination of water supply
in Gaza.
Help improve the food security of vulnerable and food-insecure communities in oPt, with
particular focus on Gaza, Area C, Seam Zone and East Jerusalem by improving
economic access to food, supporting access to a greater variety of food or providing
direct food assistance.

As of May 2013, a total of 1,318,322 of the most vulnerable Palestinians (almost equally divided
between women and men) have been provided with regular on-going food assistance, such as
food rations, vouchers, and school feeding. Progress towards targets has been mixed for the
Agriculture Sector with 950 households benefitting from improved access to water, and 350
households receiving drought tolerant seeds. Cash-for-Work has reached more than 18,700
families with temporary job opportunities and has injected $12.7 million into the income of
households affected by food insecurity. In addition almost 400 households unable to work have
been assisted with direct cash transfers.

OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY CONSOLIDATED APPEAL MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
Adding to the challenges posed by the occupation, funding remains a core challenge in terms of
achieving the Food Sector’s strategic objectives. Lack of funding has meant that key projects
have not been implemented, while underfunding poses a risk of serious and imminent pipeline
breaks, potentially leading to disruptions in the Food Sector’s regular assistance to targeted
beneficiaries and/or reductions in food rations. Lessons learned include the need to: 1) ensure
stronger partnerships with the full spectrum of food security actors; 2) enhance emergency
preparedness; 3) strengthen links with disaster risk reduction activities, and 4) link food
assistance more closely to production activities.

OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY CONSOLIDATED APPEAL MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
Achievements and challenges in contributing to the strategic objectives
The objective of agricultural interventions outlined in the CAP is to mitigate food insecurity among
endangered agricultural groups including farmers, herders and fishers. With 37.8% funding at
mid-year, progress toward sector objectives was mixed and strongly correlated with funding.
Progress was most notable in certain Livestock Sector objectives and in increasing access of
vulnerable farming and herding communities to water. For example, 65% of the annual target for
cisterns (both for crop irrigation and water for animals) was reached. The stronger progress
against this indicator can be partially attributed to the change from targeting households to
communities, leading to an increased number of beneficiaries. Progress in humanitarian
assistance to crop farmers (i.e. horticulture) was much slower. No projects to rehabilitate
agricultural structures damaged as a result of Operation “Pillar of Defense” received funding.
Following cases of demolition, the initial 90-day response has been mostly on target, though
there were some delays in the post-90 day response to rehabilitate structures. Interventions are
expected to start in the second half of 2013. ERF funding has been used to bridge funding gaps.

OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY CONSOLIDATED APPEAL MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
Achievements and challenges in contributing to the strategic objectives
Between January 2013 and 30 April 2013, a total of 1,572,657 (50% female) food-insecure or
food vulnerable beneficiaries received cash-for-work or cash assistance in the West Bank and
Gaza. To date, cash-for-work opportunities have injected $12.7 million into household
economies. As many as 18,706 families participated in cash-for-work schemes of varying
duration (one to six month contracts), with the average household receiving $681.
Overall the sector is funded at only 33.2% with underfunding particularly affecting Gaza-based
projects. Without additional support to Gaza cash-for-work interventions the sector will not meet
its end of year targets. Three NGOs and one UN partner reported very late arrival of funding for
their 2013 projects. As a result several of the CAP projects were not fully operational until midyear. This creates problems at the household level while food-insecure beneficiaries wait for
assistance, and at the programme level it places pressure on agencies to scale up interventions
to meet end of year targets within a much shorter time frame.
The Sector’s contribution to Strategic Objective One is provided through protection-tailored cashfor-Work opportunities, primarily in Area C of the West Bank. Progress against these targets has
been limited by the on-going difficulties facing humanitarian agencies implementing in Area C,
including demolitions, seizure of tools and materials, and the risk of harassment of beneficiaries
working on cash-for-work projects in threatened communities. The sector is continuing to
coordinate with the HCT Advocacy Taskforce, Protection Cluster and other clusters to overcome
these concerns and is committed to finding ways to deliver these projects.
Coordination and Service Support
Contact information: Maria Jose Torres (torres8@un.org)
Achievements and challenges in contributing to the strategic objectives
The Humanitarian Country Team under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator has
moved forward on establishing linkages between development work and humanitarian
assistance. The preparations of the CAP 2014 will fully acknowledge the need to better align
humanitarian programming with development programming as contained in the United Nations
Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) 2014-2016. The cluster structure in oPt has also
been reviewed following a cluster performance self-monitoring exercise initiated by the InterAgency Standing Committee, as well as using inputs of different reviews undertaken at the cluster
level in late 2012 and in 2013 (i.e. Food Security Sector, Education and WASH). This will ensure
that coordination arrangements better suit the protracted nature of the humanitarian situation in
oPt and that there are better connections between the humanitarian and the development
strategies, particularly when synergies could be found in reference to certain themes and/or
geographic areas. An operational framework for Area C has been developed and it is now in its
final stages of endorsement by the HCT. The operational framework outlines the principles
underpinning humanitarian action in Area C, key factors impeding humanitarian activities and
appropriate steps that should be taken by relevant actors in order to address these factors. The
framework will provide a more coherent approach for the humanitarian community for addressing
impediments to humanitarian action in Area C, as well calling for donor support to back the
strategy. The framework should be read in conjunction with the current CAP.
21
OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY CONSOLIDATED APPEAL MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
One of the inter-cluster coordination group’s priorities is to support a coordinated response to
emergencies resulting from demolitions and displacement, as well as to address the humanitarian
consequences of settler violence. The ability of clusters to rapidly respond to small shocks in the
West Bank (i.e. demolition of households and livelihood structures and some incidents of settler
violence) has been strengthened by the establishment of an inter-cluster coordination information
management tracking tool. In 2013, all responses to small shocks have been monitored and
traced through the tracking mechanism, enhancing accountability through systematic monitoring
and improving the timeliness of the response. Further, the Protection Cluster in the West Bank
(through the Settler Violence Core Group) has worked with the Inter-Cluster Coordination
Mechanism and relevant clusters/sectors to define the framework for an inter-cluster response to
incidents of settler violence that result in damage to property that generate vulnerability for the
families or the communities affected.
Emergency Response Fund (ERF)
The ERF remains a critical tool for effective humanitarian response and coordination in oPt,
whether in situations of natural disaster, further conflict, or on-going restrictions in movement and
access. It plays a unique role in humanitarian response and has proved to be a flexible tool that
can absorb new needs and challenges. Hence, it has been available to fill critical gaps in
funding. Greater participation and involvement of the clusters in the technical assessment and
approval of projects in cooperation with OCHA and the Advisory Board has further improved
timeliness of response, reinforced accountability and enhanced the ERF’s role in strengthening
overall coordination and response.
The Fund has also proved to be an important reserve to buffer immediate response to potential
large-scale unforeseen shocks and was therefore particularly well-placed to respond to the urgent
needs arising from hostilities in Gaza in November. The support of ERF donors had allowed
OCHA to keep the balance of the fund at around $5 million at the end of the year to be able to
respond to medium to large scale unforeseen emergencies. Maintaining this level of reserve
funding will be a key priority in 2013. Additionally, the increased participation of national NGOs
and partnership among NGOs and with UN agencies has been noted as good practice. However,
challenges remained in 2012. Humanitarian assistance provided through projects funded by ERF
was seized, destroyed, or placed at risk of destruction by the Israeli authorities. Of all structures
demolished so far this year, 45 were donor-funded structures, primarily ERF and ECHO, including
emergency tents provided in response to previous demolitions. It is estimated that around 150
additional donor-funded structures are at risk of demolition, including 67 funded by the ERF.
Moreover, while OCHA succeeded in including a greater number of cluster/sector members, in
particular national NGOs, it recognizes that capacity building is still needed to further strengthen
its support to national and international NGOs and other partners in order to improve the quality
of ERF proposals, ensuring smooth processing and more rapid response.
The next step for the remainder of 2013 will be for OCHA to explore with the ERF Advisory Board
the potential of an enhanced mechanism for the oPt, following the recommendation from the ERF
evaluation. There is a gap in humanitarian funding when it comes to addressing chronic needs.
A second gap is for funding of preparedness measures. Many protection issues almost by
definition are best addressed through enhanced preparedness. ERF funding has been stretched
to cover some of the most pressing gaps. OCHA will also further enhance monitoring and
evaluation and increase the participation of cluster/sector coordinators and OCHA field units in
the monitoring and evaluation process. OCHA will continue to improve the flow of information
22
OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY CONSOLIDATED APPEAL MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
among members of the Advisory Board and humanitarian partners, to ensure transparency and
accountability of the Fund. The ERF’s new webpage will include more information and guidance
for applicants. Updated country guidelines and cluster specific guidelines will be developed and
translated into Arabic for the benefit of national NGOs.
Strengthening evidence base, monitoring and gender mainstreaming in humanitarian
action
The evidence base for humanitarian action also continues to be strengthened as OCHA has
moved forward on developing an updated vulnerability profiling project that will facilitate the
collection, safe storage, analysis and use of timely, accurate and standardized baseline
information for the humanitarian community about the situation in communities of concern in
Area C with baseline data that should help inform the next CAP cycle. The project is under way
and the first data collection will be piloted in the coming month.
While cluster and sector monitoring systems have been strengthened, further time and effort will
need to be invested in promoting the IASC Dashboard as a tool for inter-sectoral analysis and
monitoring for the HCT in the oPt.
Gender equality is largely about ensuring that assistance provided in emergencies and recovery
is planned and implemented in a way that benefits men and women, boys and girls equally.
Some efforts have been made towards a greater integration of gender issues into humanitarian
responses in the recent years, including the IASC Gender Marker, which classifies the projects
submitted for the Consolidated Appeal Process (CAP and assesses sensibility on gender issues
however additional capacities are required to monitor the actual implementation.
If the gender dimension is to be adequately included in humanitarian response, action entailing
year-round technical support for gender in the oPt will be advisable. For this purpose, a gender
adviser is being sought to support the HCT to integrate gender concerns into HCT and
cluster/sector work.
Humanitarian Advocacy
During the reporting period, the HCT’s Advocacy Working Group (AWG) has focused on the
development of an advocacy strategy and action plan for 2013 and development of
accompanying strategic messages, as well as undertaking private diplomacy and public
information activities.
The strategy for 2013 articulates that the HCT’s advocacy efforts aim to simultaneously mitigate
the range of threats that civilians in the oPt face related to the on-going occupation and recurrent
hostilities by countering the policies or practices behind them and by supporting efforts to address
their humanitarian consequences. The HCT’s advocacy efforts are thus aimed, ultimately, at
achieving increased respect for international humanitarian and human rights law (IHL/IHRL) by all
duty bearers. The strategy identifies three specific objectives for 2013, namely:

Secure increased respect for IHL/IHRL by all duty bearers, specifically to address the
humanitarian consequences of the separation and fragmentation of oPt.

Secure increased respect for IHL/IHRL by all duty bearers, specifically to facilitate the free
movement of people and goods to, from and within the Gaza Strip.

Secure increased respect for IHL/IHRL by all duty bearers, specifically to address the
humanitarian impact of settlement policies in Area C and East Jerusalem.
23
OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY CONSOLIDATED APPEAL MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
The strategy and action plan outline a range of regular and time-bound activities that the HCT will
and is already undertaking in 2013 in order to achieve these objectives. Implementation is
already underway with a range of actions, such as submission of humanitarian inputs on key
issues to the UN Security Council briefing on movement and access restrictions in the Gaza Strip
in April and May, public statement by the Humanitarian Coordinator on the heightened restrictions
on movement of people and goods to and from Gaza in April, coordinated private and public
advocacy on demolitions of homes in Area C and East Jerusalem in April (including Humanitarian
Coordinator site visit and engagement with Government of Israel, briefings for donors/Member
States and NGO public statement). Planning is under way for a series of public events coinciding
with the sixth anniversary of the blockade of the Gaza Strip to be held in June 2013.
Humanitarian Access
The average processing time for staff permits to Gaza in 2013 was 12 days for international
NGOs, compared to 22 days in 2012, and just seven days for UN staff compared to 11 days in
2012. In addition, the average number of staff affected and time lost during access incidents has
decreased by 20 and 25%, respectively, so far in 2013 compared with 2012.
The lessons learned on civil-military coordination from “Operation Pillar of Defence” have been
incorporated into the inter-agency contingency plan and have led to the development of several
documents to formalise coordination and cooperation between the Access Coordination Unit,
UNDSS, WFP (as the logistics cluster lead), and the international NGO community.
A UN Access Working Group has also been established in order to improve inter-agency
coordination and information sharing in response to access constraints, the first step of which will
be development of a common UN access strategy.
Major changes in the response plan
The lack of responsiveness from Israeli authorities to the need for access in oPt continues to
present significant challenges to effective humanitarian access. Despite improvements, a high
volume of incidents continues to be reported at checkpoints and crossing terminals, which often
violate UN privileges and immunities. Approvals for reconstruction projects in Gaza also remain
problematic; projects approved so far in 2013 have taken on average 14 months to receive a
response from Israeli authorities.
The de-facto authorities in Gaza have also begun demanding, inter alia, permits for national staff
to exit to Israel and/or the West Bank, further complicating already cumbersome and difficult
access conditions to/from Gaza. There is an on-going dialogue though appropriate channels to
ensure that humanitarian space Is not further affected by these measures.

Under Education Cluster Outcome Number One, education partners were able to rehabilitate a
total number of 159 school buildings in Gaza, including Ministry schools and kindergartens,
benefitting a total of approximately 275,000 students.21 The majority of rehabilitated school
buildings had been damaged during last November’s escalation in hostilities. In addition, 268
schools, kindergartens, and alternative and child-safe spaces were equipped with basic furniture,
equipment and materials, and 149 schools, kindergartens and alternative learning spaces were
supported through remedial learning programmes in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem
and Gaza. At mid-year, 26 teachers were trained in education and early childhood development
(ECD) in emergency and protracted crises. Finally, several partners were able to provide
protective presence to children commuting to schools through high risk checkpoints and over
dangerous roads in 16 different locations in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
21
UNRWA rehabilitated an additional 64 school buildings outside of the CAP following the November 2012 Gaza
escalations through Saudi funding which brings the total number of education facilities rehabilitated in response to the
November 2012 crisis to 223. A total of 23 education facilities were damaged during the November crisis.

OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY CONSOLIDATED APPEAL MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
Under Education Cluster Outcome Number Two, education partners were able to train at least
1,956 parents and teachers in safety and non-violence practices, psycho-social school based
responses, human rights, early childhood development, stress release, and other child protection
practices. A total of 166 school-based support groups were set up and 180 schools, alternative
and child-friendly spaces now have active psycho-social programmes. Finally, in order to be
better prepared for future emergencies, a total of 29,000 school bags and 6,100 stationary kits
have been procured for prepositioning in Gaza.
One major outstanding need, however, remains the rehabilitation and support of kindergartens
affected by the November 2012 escalation in Gaza (registered and unregistered).

Summary of Response to Date
Food assistance and livelihoods support continue to be indispensable for the food-insecure and
those vulnerable to food insecurity, in order to reduce the risk of negative coping strategies which
would further deteriorate the food security situation. Negative strategies include poor food
consumption, sale of assets, indebtedness, withdrawing children from school, distress
migration/displacement, over-exploitation of natural resources, and illegal or exploitative work.
UNRWA and WFP are the two main international staple food providers in oPt and they were able
to ensure continuity of food distributions to 718,493 refugees and 543,829 non refugees,
respectively. CARE International was also able to assist 56,420 beneficiaries.
22
“In need” figures have increased since the original 2013 CAP publication.
26
OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY CONSOLIDATED APPEAL MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
In total, 200,379 beneficiaries received voucher assistance. The reason behind this higher than
planned number is: 1) the inclusion of 23,000 beneficiaries who receive WFP voucher assistance
through the Ministry of Social Affairs; and 2) the inclusion of 56,000 beneficiaries receiving
vouchers that can be exchanged for fresh vegetables through CARE International’s fresh food
programme. The planned target under this indicator has subsequently been revised.
The Food Sector also provided meals to 303,236 children in schools located in food-insecure
areas. The planned number has subsequently been modified slightly. The actual number of
distribution dates in the monitoring framework is based on school year figures, not the calendar
year.
The Food Sector’s activities injected almost $23 million into the local economy through local
purchases of over 38,267 mt of food. These higher than planned numbers should be seen in light
of the Food Sector’s commitment to buying locally, whenever this is economically justifiable.
They also demonstrate the Food Sector’s successful efforts to focus assistance on resilience. In
terms of support to small- and medium-scale producers, it should be highlighted that CARE
International purchases its fresh vegetables from approximately 1,200 small farmers. These are
not included in the monitoring framework.
In 2013, WFP began implementing a combined food ration/voucher modality in the Gaza Strip to
encourage better dietary diversity and support the local economy, and it expanded the voucher
programme in the West Bank. WFP also continued its Nutrition Awareness Campaign in Gaza.
CARE International further ensured nutritional variety and improved quality of meals through its
fresh food voucher programme. Following the winter storm in January 2013 which was among
the strongest recorded in recent decades in oPt, Food Sector members also rapidly responded to
emergency needs by distributing ready-to-eat food and vouchers to those most affected. Food
Sector members continued to improve cross-checking mechanisms in order to avoid duplication
of assistance.
Despite these achievements the Food Sector also encountered a number of challenges in the first
six months of 2013. The November 2012 escalation in Gaza meant that data collection for the
2012 Socio-Economic and Food Security Survey was delayed. UNRWA had to temporarily
suspend its distributions in Gaza due to protests that threatened staff and beneficiary safety,
following the discontinuation of UNRWA’s cash assistance programme. The January winter
storms destroyed much of the vegetable production used by CARE International’s project, leading
to increased vegetable prices and consequently decreasing the vegetable basket. Additional
challenges included suspension of humanitarian deliveries to Gaza for a total of 17 week days in
March and April, including 11 working days of closure in relation to cross-border violence. These
closure measures, if continued, could potentially hamper the delivery of humanitarian assistance,
availability of food and humanitarian goods and increase costs to humanitarian actors. The
restrictions on Gaza’s fishing zone could also negatively impact food security.

Achievements and challenges in contributing to the strategic objectives
As detailed in the funding section, due to underfunding a number of the partners have been
forced to scale down their projects, resulting in inadequate health services. A number of other
partners have also only just received funding so are unable to report achievements as of yet.
Despite funding shortages, health partners have been able to facilitate access to health services
for 120 out of 171 vulnerable West Bank communities. The system for referral to protection
organizations for victims of violence has also started to function and health partners have
responded in cases of home demolition where healthcare intervention was needed. This said,
lack of funding has meant that some projects have had to be scaled down. UNRWA also
conducted training for Bedouin communities addressing issues including managing emergency
situations, leadership, legal rights, communication skills and family matters. All partner activities
are gender mainstreamed.

Target revised downwards significantly. The original was based on an estimate of the number of victims who might
require legal assistance to access legal remedies (as at January 2013). The revised target reflects the number of
individuals on behalf of whom notifications of the intent to file a compensation claim were filed with the Ministry of
Defence.

The total number of people in need of protection interventions is difficult to quantify, given the nature of protection
risks and responses. Potentially all people in Gaza, Area C, the Seam Zone, and East Jerusalem may be in need of a
protection intervention, and actual needs will depend on factors that are difficult to predict.

OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY CONSOLIDATED APPEAL MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
Achievements and challenges in contributing to the strategic objectives
With respect to the cluster objective to increase respect for human rights and international
humanitarian law, CERF funding supported human rights organisations in Gaza (the Palestinian
Center for Human Rights and Al Mezan) to provide legal assistance to victims to seek accountability
for violations of international humanitarian law and compensation for loss of life, injury and property
damage during the November 2012 escalation of hostilities. PCHR and Al Mezan filed 96 complaints
with the Israeli military justice system regarding alleged violations of international humanitarian law,
calling for investigations, as well as complaints to the Ministry of Defence seeking compensation for
victims in 298 cases of death, injury and property damage arising from possible violations. Six months
after the end of the escalation of hostilities, OHCHR issued an update on behalf of the Protection
Cluster raising initial concerns regarding lack of progress towards accountability and access to an
effective remedy for victims of violations of international humanitarian law.
Protection Cluster members continued to engage in monitoring and documentation of violations
against children, demolitions and forced evictions in the West Bank, settler violence, and incidents in
the Access Restricted Areas in Gaza. This informed related advocacy by cluster members, such as
public reports and updates, statements, briefings for various audiences, and joint side events and
statements at the 22nd session of the Human Rights Council.
With respect to the cluster objective to prevent and mitigate the impacts of abuses and violations of
international law, and of the armed conflict in response to the November 2012 escalation of hostilities
in Gaza, the Child Protection Working Group (CPWG) contingency plan was activated. At least 28
CPWG members in Gaza were involved in emergency response from psychosocial care to monitoring
of grave child rights violations, creating child-friendly spaces, and ERW risk education. The CPWG
and Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Working Group scaled up existing protection services, in
particular psychosocial support. The United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) augmented its
technical capacity to support police and humanitarian stakeholders during rubble removal and
reconstruction/land rehabilitation; and also worked with relevant stakeholders to ensure sustainable
explosive remnants of war (ERW) awareness and risk education in schools and civil society groups
across Gaza.
In the West Bank, the Protection Cluster (through the Settler Violence Core Group) worked with the
Inter-Cluster Coordination Mechanism and relevant clusters/sectors to define the framework for an
inter-cluster response to incidents of settler violence that result in damage to property that generate
vulnerability for the families or the communities affected. Since early 2013, the Protection Cluster and
Health and Nutrition Sector, through their joint task force on protection mainstreaming, have piloted
the implementation of a referral mechanism for health workers to refer patients who are victims of
violations to protection actors for response (psychosocial support, legal assistance and protective
presence).
Major changes in the response plan
The inter-cluster Initial Rapid Assessment (IRA) conducted immediately following the end of the
escalation of hostilities in Gaza in November 2012 found that immediate priorities for humanitarian
assistance included psychosocial support to children, clearance of ERW, legal assistance, and the
provision of shelter assistance to over 2,400 people displaced due to destruction or damage of their
homes (for details, see CAP Update, January 2013).29 Existing responses set out in the Protection
Cluster response plan, in particular psychosocial support, mine action, legal assistance and shelter,
were scaled up to meet the new needs arising from the November 2012 escalation of hostilities.

Achievements and challenges in contributing to the strategic objectives
CERF and ERF funds have supported a number of activities in Gaza. For example, following the
escalation in hostilities in November 2012, UNICEF secured funds to address needs arising from
damage of WASH infrastructure and maintain good hygiene practices of those affected by the
attack. As a result of funding received from the CERF and ERF, 300 m3 of chlorine and
chemicals for water disinfection and treatment were delivered to the Coastal Municipalities Water
Utility (CMWU),1,700 metres of sewage network and 600 metres of water networks in Rafah,
Khan Younis and Deir El-Balah have been repaired, benefitting 4,000 people (1,960 women and
2,040 men) and 80 generators in Rafah, Khan Younis, Middle Area and North Gaza have been
repaired serving 660,000 people (323,400 women and 336,600 men). 1,500 adult hygiene kits
and 1,000 which will benefit 3,000 families and 1,000 babies respectively are under procurement.
Immediate WASH needs covering the first 1-3 months as identified by the IRA and CMWU
damage assessment have been addressed but remaining needs will have to be covered through
WASH partners’ regular CAP projects, which are still pending funding. PWA/CMWU are also
33
OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY CONSOLIDATED APPEAL MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
seeking funding for large-scale infrastructure projects and replenishment of spare parts in the
aftermath of the crisis. Gaps in the contingency plan are also currently being identified.
ERF funding has made the following possible: rehabilitation of wastewater lagoons at Beit Lahiya
and Rafah to allow the wastewater treatment plants to function at full capacity, benefitting
430,000 people; repair of damaged generators in seven sewage pumping stations, benefitting
452,000 people in Jabalya, Beit Lahiya, Rafah, An Nuseirat and Deir Al Balah and short-term
bridging of gaps in solid waste collection for 240,000 people.
Under-funding remains the principal obstacle facing the cluster in achieving the collectively
defined strategic objectives. Practical challenges on the ground also include access restrictions
and the risk of demolition and/or confiscation of infrastructure and assets by the Israeli forces.
Major changes in the response plan
Following the escalation in Gaza in November 2012, damage to WASH infrastructure disrupted
water supply and caused sewage floods into the street with potential for polluting water resources
and generating public health concerns. As a result, the target group was extended to cover the
entire population in Gaza Strip.
Activities were developed to repair damaged water and wastewater lines, overworked standby
generators and other electro-mechanical units at wells and pumping stations. The provision of
chlorine and replenishment of hygiene kits was also included in the updated response plan. The
testing of heavy metals in water and soil to establish a baseline was also proposed.
