In support of continued efforts to improve the lives of women and children with disabilities in the occupied West Bank, Spain has contributed nearly \u20ac1 million to support Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA\u2019s protection, rehabilitation and healthcare services.<\/p>\n
This funding will expand access to essential services, reaching women and children with disabilities living in areas affected by violence, displacement and movement restrictions; it will reinforce community-based protection systems, and support vulnerable individuals.<\/p>\n
With Spain\u2019s support, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA will deliver tailored assistance to enable them to access timely and appropriate protection support, including cash assistance, essential medical and rehabilitation services and assistive devices.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring the current crisis in the occupied West Bank, women and children with disabilities face increasingly restricted access to health and rehabilitation services, placing them at higher risk, including of gender-based violence,\u201d says Roland Friedrich, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA\u2019s Director of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA Affairs in the occupied West Bank. \u201cSpain\u2019s generous contribution will allow Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA to reach the individuals most at risk with specialised services, helping women and children access care in dignity when they need it most\u201d.<\/p>\n
The funding will also help to improve community-based responses. Local community organisations will receive training on safeguarding, inclusive emergency response, and risk-mapping. Technical support will be provided to community-based rehabilitation centres, and mobile service units will be deployed to provide rehabilitation and mental health and psychosocial support to individuals unable to reach fixed facilities, particularly in areas where movement restrictions or infrastructure damage impede access.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpain remains committed to supporting women and children with disabilities through concrete assistance that improves access to protection, rehabilitation and essential services,\u201d says Pablo Bustinduy, Spain\u2019s Minister of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs, and the 2030 Agenda. \u201cThis contribution reflects our continued partnership with Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA and commitment to supporting Palestine Refugee women and children with disabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Spain has been a longstanding partner of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA in serving Palestine Refugees. Spain\u2019s support is crucial to help vulnerable populations continue to access life-saving protection services, essential rehabilitation, and inclusive community-based assistance during a period of significant humanitarian need across the occupied West Bank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
