2015 ME063 Recovering from War in the Gaza Strip

Children in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) continue to be denied their basic human rights. 2015 saw an escalation of violence between Palestinian civilians and Israeli forces and armed settlers, while the arrest, displacement, detention and even killing of children all remain major issues. This programme sees War Child and partners including Plan UK/DEC provide children with safe spaces and deliver vital psychosocial support to children and families living in the most vulnerable and war‐affected areas of the Gaza Strip. The provision of gender‐sensitive child protection services is also prioritised in this programme.
