WFP Emergency Report No. 38 of 2005<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\n…<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

(4) Occupied Palestinian Territories<\/strong> <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

(a)\t<\/span>Letters of Understanding (LOUs) were presented to all WFP partners in the West Bank: Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), Community Housing Foundation (CHF), Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and the Ministry of Social Affairs (MSA).<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

(b)\t<\/span>The Palestinian National Authority (PNA) re-structuring process has designated the MoA as responsible for the Food Security sector in oPt, in place of the Ministry of Planning. WFP is in dialogue with the EU Food Security group and the MoA regarding Food security planning, coordination and programme implementation.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

(c)\t<\/span>The situation in the Gaza Strip remains increasingly volatile. The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) have removed all settlement infrastructure and are no longer physically present in the Gaza Strip. The Rafah-Egyptian border is currently open and people and goods are moving freely. UNRWA, who previously withdrew HQ staff, have further reduced non-essential International staff presence in the Gaza Strip. WFP will retain one International staff member in the Gaza Strip. Palestinian national staff continue to be able to enter the Gaza Strip with prior clearance; national staff with Jerusalem\/Israeli ID (the majority of WFP Jerusalem staff) are now prevented from entering the Gaza Strip by new IDF regulations.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

(d)\t<\/span>Under the new Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation (PRRO 10387), basic food needs of both the Social Hardship Cases (SHC) and New Poor (NP) will be met through distribution of monthly family rations. While the SHC will receive relief food as part of the MSA programme, ‘new poor’ beneficiaries will receive food through participation in food for work (FFW) and food-for-training (FFT) activities implemented through CRS, CHF and MOA. The most vulnerable individuals living in institutions will be provided with a daily food ration through the MSA in the Gaza Strip and CRS in the West Bank.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

(e)\t<\/span>The reporting period (9-14 September) represents the second week of the PRRO. The September-October allocation was dispatched to warehouses throughout the West Bank.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

(f)\t<\/span>In the Gaza Strip, food diistribution of 391 tons of food to 3595 SHC households (10785 beneficiaries) was completed. Assessment of institutional feeding centres in the Gaza Strip is ongoing and is expected to be completed within one week.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

(g)\t<\/span>The implementation phase of the Bedouin review started in Gaza Strip. The involvement of the Ministry of Agriculture as a capacity building and joint preparatory step for the PRRO was agreed upon and key informant interviews were conducted led by the joint team of WFP, IMG and MoA staff.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

(h)\t<\/span>In terms of food deliveries, 1015.760 tons were delivered (540.61 tons to the West Bank, 475.2 tons to the Gaza Strip). WFP logistics team met with MoA and CHF focal points, providing both partners with the warehouse selection criteria in English and Arabic. The Logistics unit will provide all Cooperating Partner storekeepers with warehouse management training and will assess all new warehouses prior to the first PRRO deliveries.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

(i)\t<\/span>The Emergency Operation (EMOP) budget will be closed in the end of October; there are no surpluses. WFP oPt hasn’t received the PRRO BPR advance. The EMOP will start to face difficulties in implementation if funds don't arrive within two weeks.<\/p><\/div>\n
