With funding from Department of Foreign Affairs, TRADE and Development (DFATD), Save the Children in close coordination with local PARTNERS implemented ““Improved access to protection and health services for children in the most vulnerable Palestinian communities, in the Gaza Strip” project. This project focuses on reducing and mitigating risks associated with conflict, addressing the lack of protection and health services, and improving community preparedness and risk mitigation.
