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 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).

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 non-funding 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,

Strategic Objectives1. 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.

Crisis DescriptionDrivers of crisis: 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.

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).

In addition, since January 2013, the UN has recorded 26 separate occasions of temporary displacement of Palestinian families, affecting 1,272 people (including 459 children) in at least nine communities, due to military training by Israeli forces in or near their communities in the Jordan Valley.5 Some of these incidents also damaged private property, including cultivated fields and infrastructure, and caused distress and panic, in particular among children. Most of the affected communities are 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.

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 food-insecure, 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-secure

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.

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 on-going.

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.

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.

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-year10 Initial findings of the Action Contre la Faim (Action Against Hunger / ACF) rapid assessment exercise in 26 communities in Hebron including Masafer Yatta, Road 317 and Ar Ramadin, April 2013.11 http://www.ochaopt.org/documents/ocha_opt_cap_factsheet_January_2013_english.pdf

12


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 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.

13


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 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

12 In the Gaza Strip, drugs shortages currently stand at 29%, while there is a 52% shortage in medical disposables.

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


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.

* People in need and target beneficiaries encompass the entire population of the Gaza Strip due to the nature of the WASH projects in the 2013 CAP revision.** Achievements reported thus far have been achieved following the supply of chlorine and chemicals for WASH facilities in Gaza. However, this indicator has only been partially achieved as the project proposed by UNDP has not received the requested funds to date.

It is also a more accurate reflection of the number of cases UNRWA/ACTED actually respond to, taking into consideration the defined vulnerability criteria.

17


*** The increase in the target population was due to the ability to rehabilitate more generators than originally anticipated. **** This indicator has been added in order to reflect the activities introduced in the revised CAP following escalations in Gaza. 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.

So far this year, the Food Sector has made substantial progress towards Strategic Objective Two. 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 19 Target revised due to change in socioeconomic conditions and review of project documentation.

households affected by food insecurity. In addition almost 400 households unable to work have been assisted with direct cash transfers.

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.

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.

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 mid-year. 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 cash- for-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 SupportContact information: Maria Jose Torres ([email protected])


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 Inter-Agency 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.

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

22


the monitoring and evaluation process. OCHA will continue to improve the flow of information 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


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

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



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.

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.

26 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.27 Sex-disaggregated data are not currently available.28 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.

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).


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 reported thus far have been materialized following the supply of chlorine and chemicals for WASH facilities in Gaza. However, this indicator has only been partially achieved as the project proposed by UNDP has not received the requested fund to date


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


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.


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.
