GAZA Crisis Response: Key Resources and Guidance
21 Oct, 2023
Since 7 October, heavy bombardments and displacement throughout Gaza have left civilians in dire humanitarian need, with the situation turning into a catastrophe – especially for the estimated 1.1 million women and girls. The number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Gaza is currently estimated at around one million (half the population), with a large part of that population living in overcrowded and under-supplied shelters with food, water, and fuel running out – and basic and life-sustaining services becoming more inaccessible. The UN Secretary-General has called for a “humanitarian ceasefire” and that “Gaza needs aid at scale and on a sustained basis”. Civilians, healthcare infrastructure, and schools are not a target - all parties to the conflict must respect international humanitarian law.

23 Oct, 2023

The following life-saving interventions should be prioritized as soon as possible by GBV service providers operational in Gaza to ensure GBV survivors and those at risk of violence have access to essential services and goods such as medical care, psychosocial support, safety, protection and feminine hygiene products.

Scaling Up but Not Meeting Needs: Analysis of 3 Months of Scaled-Up GBV Response in Sudan - GBV AoR Sudan November 2023
06 Dec, 2023
In 2023, three already existing and protracted crises deteriorated to the point where the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) announced a system-wide scale-up (Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, and Sudan). In each case, increasing Protection concerns were noted as key rationale for the new response posture. Across all three contexts, increasing reports of gender-based violence (GBV) were a trigger for scale-up, with actors across the humanitarian system raising alarms about GBV both before and after scale-ups have gone into place.

Life for Women and Girls in the Gaza Strip and the International Response GBV Sub-Cluster Palestine Update and Advocacy Note – 12 December 2023
11 Dec, 2023
The violence being experienced by civilians in the Gaza Strip extends beyond suffering that human beings can endure. Gazans have been deprived of the essentials of food, water, shelter, medicine, and safety. For women and girls, gender-based violence (GBV), including physical and sexual violence, is a daily threat, and the combination of threats they face represent distinct and targeted attacks on their rights, identity, and dignity. This loss of dignity is primary to their experience of this crisis. Nowhere in the Gaza Strip is safe. Nearly 80% 3 of the Gazan population is now displaced and living in severely overcrowded shelters that offer limited “refuge.” Civilians and humanitarian and medical staff and infrastructure are under siege; health facilities are not functional due to damage or lack of generator fuel. There is an urgent need for unhindered humanitarian access to meet even the most basics. In the absence of an immediate and respected ceasefire, the humanitarian system must...
