Food Security and Livelihoods Program

Supporting access to food and strengthening household resilience.

Conflict, displacement, disrupted markets, and the loss of income have made it increasingly difficult for families across Gaza to meet their daily food needs. Many households also have limited access to cooking facilities, basic commodities, and reliable sources of income.

Program Purpose

The Food Security and Livelihoods Program supports vulnerable and displaced households through timely food assistance while promoting practical pathways that help families protect or restore their ability to meet essential needs. Activities are guided by field assessments, household vulnerability, market conditions, and operational access.

Key Program Activities

  • Distribute family food parcels containing essential staple items.
  • Prepare and distribute hot meals through community kitchens.
  • Provide flour, bread, and other basic food commodities.
  • Distribute fresh vegetable and fruit baskets where supply conditions allow.
  • Provide seasonal and emergency food assistance for displaced and highly vulnerable families.
  • Support community kitchens, local bakeries, and food-service initiatives that contribute to local access.
  • Develop appropriate livelihood activities, including small household initiatives and short-term community-based work, where feasible.
  • Coordinate cash or voucher assistance for essential needs when market conditions and accountability systems permit.
