The Challenge
Housing damage in Gaza is extensive, and families sheltering in damaged buildings, tents and collective sites face exposure, overcrowding and protection risks while reconstruction remains constrained.
Among approximately 159,000 assessed Gaza housing units, 60% were destroyed or severely damaged.
Reported July 2026 · Palestine Shelter Cluster
OCHA reported that most people in Gaza remained internally displaced.
Reported August 2026 · UN OCHA — Occupied Palestinian Territory
Who We Support
Displaced households, families in damaged or unsafe housing, and households hosting displaced relatives.
Geographic coverage: Gaza and the West Bank.
Where Your Money Goes
Proposed allocation of donations designated to this fund.
| Use of donation | Proposed share |
|---|---|
| Emergency shelter | 25% |
| Essential household items | 20% |

| Transitional shelter | 15% |

| Total | 100% |
Administrative expenses are limited to a maximum of 1% of donations. The remaining 99% is designated for programs, project delivery, monitoring, safeguarding and accountable humanitarian impact.
Direct project monitoring, safeguarding, field verification, beneficiary assessments and legally required program audits attributable to a specific project are recorded as program costs, not as general administration.
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
Shelter support would be funded through organizations able to evidence technical assessment, fair beneficiary selection and completion verification, under written grant agreements.
Expected results
- Safer, weather-protected shelter for displaced families
- Repaired homes returned to safe use
- A documented pathway toward permanent reconstruction
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.
