The mission

In response to the attacks of 7 October 2023, the Israeli army launched a massive offensive in the Gaza Strip, beginning with a campaign of air strikes followed by a series of ground offensives that successively hit all the enclave's governorates. The intensity of the fighting, repeated strikes and successive evacuation orders have forced more than 1.7 million people to move, sometimes several times, to sites less directly affected by the fighting. The first displacements towards the south of Gaza, and more particularly the governorate of Rafah where 1.7 million Palestinians were displaced in April 2024, were followed by the displacement of more than 1 million people towards the central part of the Gaza Strip when the offensive on Rafah was launched in May 2024.

Displaced people are living in schools, organised sites and informal sites where it is more difficult to organise assistance. The destruction by the fighting of vital infrastructure, such as health facilities, water and electricity supplies, schools and other public services, is having a major impact on the displaced and host populations.

SOLIDARIT S INTERNATIONAL operates across the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, with a field base in Deir El Balah. The organization works to improve access to safe drinking water by rehabilitating or installing reverse osmosis units, distributing water via tankers and water points, and deploying mobile systems to pump water from existing wells. It also monitors water quality, provides hygiene kits to the most vulnerable households, promotes good hygiene and water management practices, and implements pilot activities in home gardening.

At the end of 2024, SOLIDARIT S INTERNATIONAL strengthened its rapid response capacity by creating a specialized Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) team, which has already been deployed during new crises and has been extended to the West Bank.

The organization s work relies on strong partnerships with local Palestinian organizations such as UFA and MA AN. Its institutional and financial partners include CDCS, Choose Love, ECHO, Alth mis, and OCHA.
