As part of the project “Enhancing Shelter Resilience and Protection for Displaced Families in Gaza,” MA’AN Development Center, in partnership with Global Affairs Canada (GAC), implemented a humanitarian intervention to support families and individuals facing heightened vulnerability and the severe humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip.
The response included the distribution of family kits containing essential bedding items, reaching 1,500 displaced families, as well as individual kits containing clothing and personal hygiene items, reaching 3,000 individuals. Priority was given to those facing the greatest needs, including older persons, children, persons with disabilities, pregnant women, and other groups experiencing heightened needs and protection concerns.
The distributions were carried out in accordance with established humanitarian targeting criteria and verification mechanisms, with a particular focus on displaced and highly vulnerable families, while ensuring respect for the principles of dignity, safety, and non-discrimination throughout the response.
These interventions provide essential support to affected families, helping alleviate some of the impacts of displacement and deteriorating humanitarian conditions, while strengthening their ability to cope with their immediate and daily needs.
MA’AN Development Center, with the support of its partners, continues to respond to urgent humanitarian needs in Gaza and to expand its interventions in line with the growing scale of needs, while remaining committed to the principles of humanitarian action and the protection of the dignity and safety of affected communities.
With the support of Global Affairs Canada, we continue working together toward a more inclusive and dignified humanitarian response for affected families in Gaza.
