Food Security and Livelihoods Fund
The Food Security and Livelihoods Fund links immediate food assistance with the agriculture, enterprise and employment support that helps households feed themselves again.

The Challenge
Food assistance has not consistently met minimum caloric needs, while the collapse of employment and local agriculture removes the income households would otherwise use to buy food.
OCHA reported that food assistance distributed during part of July 2026 covered only 75% of minimum caloric needs.
Reported July 2026 · UN OCHA — Occupied Palestinian Territory
The World Bank reported that unemployment reached approximately 78% in Gaza and 28% in the West Bank.
Reported for 2025 · World Bank — West Bank and Gaza
Who We Support
Food-insecure households, malnourished children, farmers and producers, and workers and small businesses that have lost their income.
Geographic coverage: Gaza and the West Bank.

Allocations shown represent the proposed use of designated donations and may be adjusted when required by access, safety, legal compliance, operational feasibility or urgent humanitarian needs. Any material reallocation will be documented through our reporting process.
How Projects Will Be Delivered
Food and livelihoods support would be delivered through organizations with accountable distribution and market-based programming records, under written agreements with verified reporting.
Expected results
- Improved household food consumption and nutrition
- Restarted agricultural production and small enterprises
- Income restored through employment and skills support
Safeguarding and accountability
Any future grant would be made only to organizations that complete identity verification, organizational due diligence, governance review, banking verification, sanctions and restricted-party screening, safeguarding review and a written grant agreement, with monitoring, reporting and audit rights. No amounts, results or beneficiary figures are published until verified records exist.
Financial reporting commitment: designated contributions, their final designation and any material reallocation are recorded and reported through our Transparency Center as verified records become available.
