Introduction and Overview
The PRCS Emergency Master Plan presents an overview of PRCS overall emergency response interventions to the ongoing war on Gaza, as well as its plan to prepare for a transitional period focusing on the re-establishment of life- saving and protection services. The plan also presents its ongoing response to the escalation of violence in the West Bank as well as its preparedness and readiness to respond in case of an intensification of violence and conflict in the West Bank, including the potential intensification of the level, scope and impact of such escalation.
The scope of the Plan covers the whole of the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt), the utilization of PRCS’ facilities and resources across the region to deal with the needs of the forcibly displaced people and medical evacuees in Egypt, as well as the impact of the conflict on the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, and Syria to a lesser extent. The plan covers a period of three years, mainly to prepare and cover the transitional phase in Gaza, and enhance PRCS’ response capacity in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
The Emergency Master Plan is the successor of the PRCS Emergency Appeal and is a tool to call on partners to support PRCS over the next three years with USD 443,327,690.
The Plan’s priorities in Gaza are structured as per the following:
- Emergency Response: includes ongoing life-saving and protection interventions and service provision as part of the emergency response to the ongoing large-scale military operations in Gaza
- Transitional: includes priorities to re-establish PRCS services and capacities in specific priority areas, including health, shelter, WASH, relief, cash, assistance to people with disabilities and enhancing communities’ resilience. This transitional phase will start partially during the ongoing response and become fully operational once a permanent suspension of hostilities is in place.
The Plan’s priorities in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, are structured as per the following:
- Ongoing emergency response: includes life-saving and protection interventions and service provision in response to the ongoing escalation of violence in the West Bank as well as the increased humanitarian needs of vulnerable communities.
- Preparedness and readiness to enhance emergency response: describes contingency plans implemented to enhance preparedness for a larger emergency response, in case of an intensification of violence and conflict in the West Bank.
