Access to flooding mitigation and prevention measures in light of climate change impact in Gaza

This report discusses how the longstanding closure of the Gaza Strip has a significant impact on the technical capacities of the WASH service providers as it restricts the entry of vital materials (including construction materials, tools and heavy machinery). This impedes the sector from operating, rehabilitating and developing at the scale and pace necessary to provide for the growing population. As a result, service providers face technical and financial challenges that undermine their ability to operate more than 500 water, sanitation and stormwater facilities in the Gaza Strip, and to respond to natural and man-made crises and hazards.
