Gender Alert: Needs of Women and Girls in Humanitarian Action in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt)

As of November 2017, at least 1.9 million Palestinians experienced or were at risk of experiencing violence, displacement and restricted access to livelihoods and were identified as targets for humanitarian assistance and protection in 2018. The humanitarian conditions in Gaza are exacerbated by the intra-Palestinian political divide which has contributed to a serious deterioration in the access of the population to basic services as measures affecting civil service allowances, electricity supply and medical payments were imposed by the Palestinian Authority.
