LETTER FROM THE HUMANITARIAN COORDINATOR<\/strong><\/p>\n I am pleased to present the 2025 Annual Report of the occupied Palestinian territory Humanitarian Fund (oPt HF, the \u201cFund\u201d). This report reflects how the Fund has continued to anchor the humanitarian response in one of the most complex and volatile humanitarian crisis, translating collective priorities into timely, principled and coordinated action in support of Palestinians whose lives and livelihoods have been repeatedly disrupted.<\/p>\n The humanitarian crisis across the occupied Palestinian territory deepened further in 2025. Palestinians across Gaza and the West Bank endured sustained destruction, repeated displacement, and the continued erosion of basic services essential to survival and dignity. Protection risks intensified, operational access remained severely constrained, and the protracted crises further undermined the coping capacity of already vulnerable households. Humanitarian needs reached unprecedented levels, demanding not only scale, but strategic focus, adaptability and coordination across the humanitarian system.<\/p>\n In this environment, the Fund served as a critical enabler of the collective response. Its value extended far beyond financial allocations as it provided the operational agility needed to respond at the onset of an emergency, reinforced principled humanitarian action, and ensured that resources are directed where they can have the greatest life-saving impact. This flexibility has been indispensable amid persistent access constraints and rapidly changing operational conditions.<\/p>\n In 2025, the Fund supported 180 projects, allocating $105.9 million to address urgent humanitarian needs across the oPt. These allocations enabled partners to deliver life-saving and life-sustaining assistance, while reinforcing humanitarian coordination. They also supported the use of appropriate and dignified modalities, including Cash and Voucher Assistance where feasible, allowing affected households to meet their most immediate needs amid highly constrained conditions.<\/p>\n This response was made possible by the unwavering commitment of our donors. Their continued trust and flexible support sustained humanitarian action at a time when needs far exceeded available resources. Donor contributions helped preserve predictability, enable timely responses, and support coordinated action in a highly complex and constrained operating environment.<\/p>\n National NGOs remained at the forefront of the response in 2025. Their proximity to affected people, contextual knowledge, and ability to operate under extreme constraints were vital to reaching people in need. The Fund continued to prioritize localization through direct and indirect funding, capacity strengthening, and inclusive governance, recognizing that a locally anchored response is fundamental to effectiveness and sustainability.<\/p>\n Throughout the year, the Fund upheld the highest standards of accountability, and principled action. The Fund strengthened its approach to Accountability to Affected Populations, reinforced zero tolerance for Sexual Exploitation and Abuse, and promoted the centrality of protection, including gender-based violence risk mitigation and the inclusion of persons with disabilities. Robust risk management and oversight mechanisms ensured that resources were safeguarded and used responsibly, even in high-risk operating environments.<\/p>\n The ceasefire represents a critical opportunity, one that must be seized, to scale up humanitarian assistance, expand access, and restore greater predictability to operations. It offers space to strengthen coordinated action, support early recovery where possible, and sustain the capacity of partners who have been operating under extraordinary pressure. While humanitarian needs remain immense, this moment provides a chance to deliver assistance more effectively, at greater scale, and with renewed strategic focus.<\/p>\n The oPt Humanitarian Fund will continue to serve as a vital enabler of principled, timely, and coordinated humanitarian action. With the continued support of donors and partners, we remain committed to alleviating suffering, protecting dignity, and responding to the needs of the most vulnerable Palestinians.<\/p>\n Thank you for your continued partnership and trust.<\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n Ramiz Alakbarov<\/p>\n Humanitarian Coordinator for oPt<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 27 March 2026 LETTER FROM THE HUMANITARIAN COORDINATOR I am pleased to present the 2025 Annual Report of the occupied Palestinian territory Humanitarian Fund (oPt HF, the \u201cFund\u201d).
