No results found.In 2021, about two out of five people were food insecure in Palestine. Farmers, fishers and herders cannot access the inputs they need to produce enough food and earn an income, mainly due to the blockade and conflict. Emergency livelihoods assistance is essential and provides high returns. Every USD 1 invested in supporting farmers with a fodder production package yields nine times its value in crops. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetPalestine | Revised humanitarian response (May–December 2020)
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
2020Also available in:
No results found.The humanitarian situation in Palestine is characterized by persistent restrictions on access to natural resources, as well as on the movement of goods and people. This is exacerbated by natural and environmental hazards, such as winter storms, and the longer-term effects of climate change. The protracted crisis poses a range of protection strains on the livelihoods of Palestinians, including the destruction of productive assets and lack of access to essential inputs, services and livelihood opportunities. After the first cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in Bethlehem city on 5 March, the Palestinian Prime Minister declared a state of emergency across Palestine and imposed a lockdown that was eased on 25 May 2020. On 2 July 2020, the West Bank returned to a complete lockdown following a record number of new infections. The pandemic is currently causing a major negative shock to Palestinian socioeconomic development, putting public welfare, employment and livelihoods at risk, threatening a further deterioration in poverty and food insecurity levels, social cohesion, and financial and fiscal stability. Specifically, in addition to the public health and humanitarian implications of COVID-19, the essential health-related measures restricting the movement of people, and the associated economic slowdown, negatively affect poor and vulnerable populations that were already facing a protracted conflict/insecurity condition. In the framework of FAO’s Corporate COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme and the United Nations Global Humanitarian Response Plan for COVID-19, FAO has revised its humanitarian response for 2020 to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and address the needs of the most vulnerable households. -

No results found.The humanitarian situation in Palestine continues to be characterized by prolonged restrictions on access to natural resources, movement of goods and people, and limited production capacities. In Gaza, recurrent conflict spikes and restricted access to markets for inputs and exports have deepened the vulnerability of livelihoods causing unemployment, poverty and food insecurity rates to soar. The situation in the West Bank remains tense as restrictions on access to land and natural resources, and displacements due to demolitions erode the resilience of vulnerable families. The volatile, protracted situation calls for urgent action to address the overall food insecurity of Palestinians, enhance protection and build resilience in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
