UNDP/PAPP has been working alongside humanitarian partners and coordinating through the relevant Humanitarian Clusters to provide immediate support in Gaza through its on-the-ground presence, capacity, and decades of experience in responding to crises. UNDP/PAPP’s support to the ongoing humanitarian response initially focused on augmenting the provision of clean water, emergency employment, medical supplies, and solid waste removal. As the war continues and humanitarian needs increase, UNDP/PAPP has further expanded and diversified its programmatic engagement to support civil society organisations (CSOs) and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs); as well as establishing approaches to provide dignified temporary shelter solutions, scaling up emergency employment opportunities, and scaling up its support to solid waste management.
