OCHA and oPt HF Delegation Conducts Monitoring Visit to BLDA Projects

OCHA and Humanitarian Fund Delegation Inspects “Beit Lahia Development” Projects in Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah

The Beit Lahia Development Association (BLDA) received a high-level delegation from the Occupied Palestinian Territory Humanitarian Fund (oPt HF) and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), represented by Eng. Khalid Nassar and Dr. Fayza Al-Joujou. The visit aimed to monitor and evaluate the progress of the project: “Enhancing Access to Safe Water, Sanitation services, and Hygiene (WASH) Practices for Vulnerable Conflict-Affected Communities in the Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah Governorates,” funded by the oPt HF.

The project targets seven (7) displacement sites across the Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis governorates, serving a total of 10,668 beneficiaries. The integrated intervention package includes:
Provision of safe drinking water.
Implementation of cleaning and sanitation campaigns.
Conducting health education and awareness sessions on personal hygiene practices.

The visit began with a presentation at the Association’s headquarters detailing the project’s key activities and implementation mechanisms. Following this, the delegation and the project team conducted a field visit to one of the targeted displacement sites to observe the ongoing activities firsthand.

During the field tour, the delegation met with several beneficiaries to hear their feedback and impressions regarding the services provided. These interactions helped evaluate the quality of the interventions, ensure they meet existing humanitarian needs, and reinforce the principles of accountability and improved response quality.
