Palestine-Gaza Conflict & Flooding Update
The recent conflict in Gaza, which started on July 8, 2014, comes shortly after major flooding in the region this winter. The local partner and participants in FRB’s Palestine-Gaza program have been focusing on how best to manage these immediate threats to livelihoods while still trying to maintain a development focus.
On February 2nd 2014, FRB granted an additional request for funding which allowed participants to rebuild rabbit shelters and replace livestock that were lost or destroyed in the severe floods.
