Humanitarian Needs Overview 2023

Critical Needs and Funding Requirements as of May 2023

Developed amid a rise in the severity of needs and increasing challenges to the work of humanitarian actors, the 2023 Humanitarian Response Plan focuses on three strategic priorities:

Strategic Objective 1

The rights of Palestinians living under occupation, including those living under the blockade and other restrictions, are protected, respected and promoted in accordance with IHL and IHRL, while duty-bearers are increasingly held to account

Strategic Objective 2

The basic needs of vulnerable Palestinians living under occupation are met through the provision of quality basic services and improved access to resources, in accordance with the rights of protected persons under IHL

Strategic Objective 3

The capacity of vulnerable Palestinians to cope with and overcome protracted crisis, including from environmental threats, is supported, while solutions to violations and other root causes of threats and shocks are pursued

Requirements (US$)
