As part of the humanitarian response to the urgent needs of the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip, "Drops of Hope" project aims to ensure safe access to water and to alleviate the severe shortages faced by displaced families in particular.
The project aims to directly assist 200 displaced families in the Gaza Strip, focusing on the hardest hit areas - Rafah, Khan Younis, Deir al-Balah and Nuseirat - with limited access to essential services, through the supply and installation of 250-litre water tanks, responding to the urgent need for water supply in areas where homes and infrastructure have been destroyed.
Considering an average household size of five to six persons, the intervention aims to reach more than 200 families, amounting to over 1,000 individuals. Special attention will be paid to women, recognised as vulnerable groups, by promoting their dignity and hygiene conditions through the distribution of 150 Dignity Kits and information actions on personal hygiene and menstrual cycle management in emergency contexts.
"Drops of Hope" is part of a broader humanitarian intervention that Un Ponte Per, thanks to the work of its local partners, has been carrying out in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the genocide committed by Israel. The project is being implemented in collaboration with the Italian association Yaku, which has been working for years in international cooperation projects that focus on water as a common good.
