The ceremony included different activities for children such as the traditional Palestinian Dabka dance, games and drawing workshops. The opening was attended by the Director of ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA Operations in Gaza, Mr. Bo Schack, the two Deputy Directors of ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA Operations, Mr. David De Bold and Ms. Melinda Young, a number of senior ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA staff, representatives from local community organizations, United Nations sister agencies and non-governmental organizations working in Gaza. The SFWs take place from 8 to 27July in 125 locations across the Gaza Strip, including locations suitably equipped for the participation of children with disabilities, With more than 186,000 children having registered this summer, activities include a variety of sports, arts and educational activities to give the children a chance to play, learn and express themselves in a safe and secure environment and to acquire the social values of team spirit, respect and cooperation. ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA has also devised area-specific activities such as \u2018Rethink and Recycle\u2019 in Rafah, the \u2018Expo Tech\u2019 exhibition in Khan Younis, English SFW activities in the Middle Area, Sea Messages in Gaza Area and the \u2018Equity and Equality\u2019 initiative in north Gaza. New activities include the ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA School Choir and the Student Ambassador programme as well as Students Camp a one-week camping experience which will be joined by ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA students from the West Bank \u2013 a rare opportunity for children to engage with their peers from other parts of the oPt. The SFWs are one of the Agency\u2019s measures to address the psychosocial impact of repeated armed conflict, blockade and dire socio-economic conditions in Gaza on children. Importantly, the SFWs create a total of 2,340 short term job opportunities for mostly young unemployed Palestine refugees through the Agency\u2019s Job Creation Programme.<\/li>\n<li>This week, the ±¬ÁÏÍø Country Team in the occupied Palestinian Territory (oPt) and the Humanitarian Country Team organized a field visit to Gaza to draw attention to the dire conditions prevailing in the coastal enclave and highlight the role of international assistance. The delegation which comprised diplomats from Germany, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia, Turkey and Canada was led by Mr. Robert Piper, the Humanitarian Coordinator in the oPt, and accompanied by community members from Gaza.\u00a0 Guided by different themes such as access to basic services and investing in Gaza, the delegation also visited GGateway \u2013 an ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA-initiated social enterprise building the capacity of young IT-experts and expand business opportunities. The visit complements a <a class=\"ext external-processed\" href=\"http:\/\/reliefweb.int\/sites\/reliefweb.int\/files\/resources\/±¬ÁÏÍøCT%20Report%20-%20Gaza%2010%20Years%20Later%20-%2011%20July%202017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new report<span class=\"ext\"><span class=\"element-invisible\"> (link is external)<\/span><\/span><\/a> by the ±¬ÁÏÍø Country Team in the oPt which reviews the socio-economic status of the Gaza Strip after ten years of blockade and three rounds of hostilities and considers the projections of the Gaza 2020 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unrwa.org\/userfiles\/file\/publications\/gaza\/Gaza%20in%202020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> issued by the ±¬ÁÏÍø in 2012, the results of which led the ±¬ÁÏÍø to question whether Gaza would by 2020 have become uninhabitable. Speaking on the occasion of the release, Mr. Piper noted that \u201cmost of the earlier projections for 2020 have deteriorated further and faster than anticipated in 2012. Ongoing humanitarian assistance especially through ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA services, are helping slow this descent, but the downward direction remains clear.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>On 6 July, a delegation from Valencia regional government visited ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA Gaza Field Office. The five-member delegation visited a sewage outlet point in Beach camp, western Gaza Strip, where they received a briefing on the environmental situation in the coastal enclave. According to the <a class=\"ext\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ochaopt.org\/content\/humanitarian-impact-internal-palestinian-divide-gaza-strip-june-2017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarians Affairs (OCHA<span class=\"ext\"><span class=\"element-invisible\"> (link is external)<\/span><\/span><\/a>), over 108 million litres of almost totally untreated sewage are being discharged into the Mediterranean every day due to electricity and fuel shortages. The delegation also received a briefing by Mr. Issam Amer, Deputy Chief of the Infrastructure and Camp Improvement Programme, on the programme\u2019s activities and was updated on the general context in Gaza by Mr. Bo Schack, Director of ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA Operations in Gaza. At the end of the day, the delegation visited a Community-Based Organization (CBO) in Gaza city which ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA partners with to promote women\u2019s rights and gender awareness. Returning to the Erez crossing, the visitors travelled through Shujaiyeh area in Gaza governorate, an area heavily affected during the last conflict, to learn about the situation in the area and progress made with regard to reconstruction.<\/li>\n<li>On 4 July, the ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA Relief and Social Services Programme (RSSP) distributed US$ 200 in one-off cash assistance to 1,669 abject poor families &#8211; those households which live below US$ 1.74 per person per day &#8211; in Gaza. These families are among the poorest and most vulnerable refugee families in the Gaza Strip. Usually the families use this money to cover education expenses, clothes, transportation and medicine, expenses which are necessities but beyond the extremely restricted normal income\u00a0 In June 2017, the Israeli blockade on Gaza entered its eleventh year: ten years of blockade have contributed to the continued deterioration of socio-economic conditions in Gaza. Today \u2013 like the families benefiting from the cash support &#8211; 80 per cent of the Gaza population depends on some form of humanitarian assistance. In the year 2000, the Agency provided approximately 80,000 refugees in Gaza with food assistance; currently the number has increased to more than 960,000. The ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA Relief and Social Services Programme (RSSP) empowers Palestine refugees, focusing on the most vulnerable groups, by meeting their social and economic needs through community social interventions. RSSP activities range from the distribution of food baskets and the regular assessment of refugees\u2019 poverty status and eligibility for services through social workers, to a variety of skills training and capacity building mainly for women, children and youth.<\/li>\n<li>±¬ÁÏÍøRWA continued the implementation of a portfolio of contracted projects, addressing some of the most pressing social infrastructure, environmental health, housing and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) needs of Gaza. In June 2017, ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA completed the construction of a Distribution Centre. The Distribution Centre in Rafah, southern Gaza, will provide food assistance to 80,000 Palestine refugees. 27 infrastructure projects worth US$ 61.3 million are under implementation while 19 projects worth US$ 26.8 million are awaiting implementation. For more information please consult the attached June ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA Construction Update.<\/li>\n<li>Through its Job Creation Programme ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA offers time-limited job opportunities to Palestine refugees in different skill categories ranging from unskilled to skilled. The Job Creation Programme (JCP) is one of the most effective means to provide livelihood opportunities to people in Gaza, to support communities, to inject cash into the local economy and to stabilize struggling businesses. The JCP provides not only a source of income, but also restores dignity, self-respect and some level of self-reliance to thousands of Palestine refugees and their families each year. Demand for the programme remains extremely high against the backdrop of a collapsed economy and high unemployment rates with a current waiting time of over four years for a JCP opportunity. In 2017, if sufficient funding is available, ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA plans to offer short-term employment opportunities for approximately 53,193 Palestine refugees. In the first five months of 2017, ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA has created job opportunities for 10,860 beneficiaries through the JCP, injecting US$ 7.68 million into the Gaza economy. To address high levels of youth unemployment in Gaza, a sub-component of the JCP \u2013 the Graduate Training Programme \u2013 offers opportunities to recent graduates, a total of 2,312 in 2017 to date.

A 2015 study on child marriage in the Gaza Strip by the Women Affairs Centre, a non-governmental organisation,\u00a0 suggests that the drivers of child marriage are socio-economic such as having multiple daughters, poverty and harmful patriarchal norms that support forced marriage between first degree relatives<\/p>\n<p>Al-Daraj Women\u2019s Programme Centre conducted a two hour session attended by 25 women who experienced child marriage, one of a total of 14 awareness-raising sessions during the initiative from 9 to 12 July across the Gaza Strip targeting over 500 men and women.<\/p>\n<p>Lawyer Hayat Mahmoud told participants in the session: \u201cChild marriage is a serious problem facing the community. It clearly violates human and children\u2019s rights. Children lose their right to an education, to play and to choose\u201d. Hayat added: \u201cImagine a 15-year old child married and having babies; it\u2019s a child raising children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The session is divided into four parts: the psychological and social impact of child marriage, reproductive health, law and religious perspective. At the end of the session, a short video on early marriage was shown followed by a discussion. The confidential and small-group setting encourages the women to tell their stories and exchange experiences. \u201cI married when I was only 15 years old and had my first child when I was only 16; this killed my childhood. I don\u2019t want my daughter to experience the same,\u201d Salwa, one of the participant in the session, said.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the campaign, a seminar will be conducted targeting community leaders, religious persons, and interested persons from the community to highlight the phenomenon of child marriage and recommend mechanisms to confront it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany uneducated women who are illiterate because early marriage led to their education being truncated visit the Women\u2019s Programme Centres. Increased awareness will not eliminate child marriage, but it will reduce it. Early marriage will be eliminated through the collective efforts of all organizations.\u00a0 I dream of life without child marriage,\u201d Hayat also said.<\/p>\n<p>The ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA Relief and Social Services Programme (RSSP) empowers Palestine refugees, focusing on the most vulnerable groups, by meeting their social and economic needs through community social interventions. RSSP activities range from the distribution of food baskets and the regular assessment of refugees\u2019 poverty status and eligibility for services through social workers, to a variety of skills training and capacity building mainly for women, children and youth.\u00a0 In total, ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA assists seven Women\u2019s Programme Centres in refugee camps across the Gaza Strip. WPCs aim to empower women socially and economically, and enhance women\u2019s participation in the community through legal advice and with skills-based trainings. The centres also try to assist illiterate women in entering the formal education system by providing education and literacy classes<\/p>\n<p><strong>Funding Needs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>±¬ÁÏÍøRWA is confronted with an increased demand for services resulting from a growth in the number of registered Palestine refugees, the extent of their vulnerability and their deepening poverty. ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions and financial support has been outpaced by the growth in needs. ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA encourages all Member States to work collectively to exert all possible efforts to fully fund the Agency\u2019s Programme Budget in 2017. ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA emergency programmes and key projects, also operating with large shortfalls, are funded through separate funding portals.<\/p>\n<p>Following the 2014 conflict, US$ 295 million has been pledged in support of ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA\u2019s emergency shelter programme, for which an estimated US$ 720 million is required. This leaves a current shortfall of US$ 425 million. ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA urgently appeals to donors to generously contribute to its emergency shelter programme to provide displaced Palestine refugees in Gaza with rental subsidies or cash assistance to undertake repair works and reconstruction of their damaged homes.<\/p>\n<p>As presented in ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA\u2019s occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) Emergency Appeal for 2017, the Agency is seeking US$ 402 million to meet the minimum humanitarian needs of Palestine refugees in the oPt.<\/p>\n<p>The Gaza portion of the Emergency Appeal amounts to US$ 355 million for 2017, to address protracted, large scale humanitarian needs.
