Life with Dignity: Emergency Water and Cash Relief for Displaced
Gaza Communities

Project Description

Safe drinking-water distribution in Mawasi Khan Younis – delivering

chlorinated water through secure trucking, on-site storage, and

community tapstands to serve approximately 400 displaced families who

currently have the highest unmet water needs .

Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) via e-wallets for 235 vulnerable

households across Gaza City, Khan Younis (Al-Mawasi), and Deir al Balah

prioritizing women-headed households, persons with disabilities, older

persons, and caregivers, to meet urgent hygiene and water-related

needs with dignity and choice.

This integrated approach directly addresses life-saving survival needs

(water) while enabling flexibility and dignity (cash).

By focusing water distribution on the most underserved displacement

site (Al-Mawasi) and extending cash to households in three key areas,

the intervention is both gap-filling and strategically aligned with the

WASH Cluster’s priorities, the Cash Working Group standards, and

Sphere minimum standards .
