The frustration of the Gaza population is heightened by the slow disbursement of funds pledged by member states during the October 2014 Cairo Conference for the reconstruction of Gaza, a factor that severely handicaps the ability of humanitarian and development actors to face the enormous recovery and reconstruction workload. The approximately 100,000 people who are still displaced following the July-August hostilities are particularly affected. On 27 January, UNRWA suspended its self-help cash assistance programme for refugee families, and the UNDP’s programme for the non-refugee population in Gaza is similarly compromised due to severe shortcomings in funding. The ongoing salary crisis had further compounded In his most recent briefing to the Security Council, the Under-Secretary-General for the dire situation in Gaza, Political Affairs warned that the situation in Gaza is becoming “increasingly worrisome”, negatively impacting the and that a “combination of the failure to rectify the persistent governance and security provision of basic services issues and the slow pace of reconstruction has created an increasingly toxic environment.” and undermining food security. To address the most critical humanitarian needs of 1.6 million vulnerable Palestinians, the Humanitarian Country Team, in partnership with the Government of Palestine, launched its Strategic Response Plan for 2015 on 12 February. The Plan requests US$705 million to fund humanitarian interventions across the oPt, 75 per cent of them projects in the Gaza Strip. Even if fully funded and implemented, these interventions alone cannot stop the ongoing deterioration in Gaza, or prevent a new cycle of violence. That would require more significant measures, including the lifting of the Israeli blockade; consolidation of the GNC and a resolution of the salary crisis; the disbursement of pledges made for the reconstruction of Gaza; reinforcement of the ceasefire; and the re-opening of the Rafah crossing with Egypt. 2 HUMANITARIAN BULLETIN JANUARY 2015 2015 StrAtegIc reSPonSe PlAn lAuncheD 1.6 million vulnerable Palestinians targeted for assistance PLANNING FIGURES FOR DEC '15 FUNDING REQUIREMENTS TO DEC 2015 The 2015 Strategic Response Plan (SRP) represents the humanitarian community’s Requirements Est. people Est. people 1.9 million Cluster Requirements priority in need targeted coordinated plan to respond to the most urgent humanitarian needs in the oPt. people in need of assistance $20m 0.76m Following its global launch in Geneva in December 2014, the SRP was presented locally Education 20% people 55% Health & $21m 1.6m (in Ramallah) on 12 February by the Deputy Prime Minister of the State of Palestine and 1.3 million 0.6 million 33% people 100% in the Gaza Strip in the West Bank Nutrition 1.9m the Humanitarian Coordinator and presented to diplomats, the media, UN agencies, and Coordination $23m 1% people 100% 1.4m national and international NGOs. 1.6 million WASH $39m 36% people targeted 49% people 1.65m Protection $52m 88% This year’s plan presents a strategy budgeted at $705 million to implement 207 projects 48% people Shelter & 0.5m million 60% 705US$ required for Jan-Dec 2015 $225m 75% people presented by 77 organizations, including 64 national and international NGOs and 13 NFIs 1.9m UN agencies.

  • Aperçu Général Nouvelles Du Terrorisme Et Du Conflit Israélo
    רמה כ ז מל ו תשר מה ו ד י ע י ן ( למ( למ )מ" מ" ) כרמ ז מה י עד מל ו ד י ע י ן ול רט ו רור Nouvelles du terrorisme et du conflit israélo-palestinien er 25 novembre – 1 décembre 2020 Aperçu général Dans la bande de Gaza et en Judée-Samarie, le nombre de patients atteints du Corona continue d'augmenter. Leur nombre dans la bande de Gaza s'élève maintenant à 9 627 patients actifs et en Judée-Samarie à 11 692 patients actifs. Alors que le Hamas préfère continuer avec des mesures préventives "spécifiques" et régionales, l'Autorité Palestinienne a annoncé qu'un confinement complet sera imposé ce week-end, comme elle l'a fait le week- end dernier. Jusqu'à présent, il semble que le Hamas et l'Autorité Palestinienne soient מבא י 2019 inefficaces, notamment en raison des violations généralisées perpétrées par les populations locales. La bande de Gaza était calme cette semaine. En Judée-Samarie, une tentative a été faite pour mener un attentat à la voiture piégée au poste de contrôle d'Elzaim, à l'Est de Jérusalem. Le terroriste a été abattu. Sur les routes de Judée-Samarie, une activité intensive consistant à lancer des pierres et à lancer des cocktails Molotov se poursuit contre des véhicules, y compris des bus civils. Suite à la reprise de la coordination civile et sécuritaire entre l'Autorité Palestinienne et Israël, l'Autorité Palestinienne cherche des moyens créatifs de transférer les paiements aux prisonniers terroristes et à leurs familles tout en contournant l'opposition israélienne.

A similar arson attack carried out by Israeli settlers in July 2015 in the same village killed an infant and both his parents. On 19 July, a twelve­year­old Palestinian boy was shot with rubber bullet and killed during clashes with Israeli forces near the northern entrance of Ar Ram town (Jerusalem). On 19 July, a man was sentenced to death, and two previously­issued death sentences were upheld by a Palestinian military court in the Gaza Strip, all on the grounds of “collaboration with Israel”. One of the three entrances to Bani Na'im village (Hebron) was re­opened on 18 July, following more than three weeks of a tight closure. Weekly highlights In the West Bank, Israeli forces shot and killed two Palestinian men in two separate incidents. On 18 July, a Palestinian man stabbed and injured two Israeli soldiers at the entrance of Al Arrub refugee camp (Hebron) and was subsequently shot and severely injured; he died of his wounds the following day.

    Reporting period: 28 July - 3 August 2015 Weekly Highlights On 31 July, an 18-month old Palestinian baby was burned to death, and the parents and sibling critically injured in Duma village (Nablus), after suspected Israeli settlers, threw firebombs into the house, while the family was asleep. Graffiti reading “revenge” was widely interpreted by media to indicate that the attack was carried out “in response” to the Israeli authorities’ demolition of two buildings in the settlement of Beit El, constructed without an Israeli-issued permit on privately-owned Palestinian land. The attack was strongly condemned by Israeli officials, including Israel’s President and Prime Minister, as well as by senior UN officials. In this regard, the Secretary General stated that “(c)ontinued failures to effectively address impunity for repeated acts of settler violence have led to another horrific incident involving the death of an innocent life. This must end”. The arson attack triggered wide-spread protests across the West Bank, some of which evolved into clashes with Israeli soldiers, resulting in the killing of a 17 year-old Palestinian boy at Atara checkpoint (Ramallah) on 31 July, and the injury of another 93 Palestinians, including 26 children. Another 13 Palestinians, including two children, were injured in a range of other clashes, including in the context of protests against Israeli imposed restrictions on Palestinian entry into Al Aqsa Mosque Compound in East Jerusalem, which in several instances coincided with the entry of settlers and other Israeli groups into the compound; search and arrest operations; and Israeli forces’ interventions in clashes between settlers and Palestinians.
