<p> </p><p>DFID works closely with the United Nations Office for the Coordination
of Human Affairs (OCHA), which manages the process of collecting, analysing and sharing
information about the humanitarian situation. According to OCHA’s most recent assessment

1.5 million people not in shelters have no or extremely restricted access to water.</p><p>

for Gaza. DFID activated a £3 million Rapid Response Facility (RRF) which will mean
that more than half a million people in Gaza will receive medical care, clean water
and sanitation. Three of the NGOs funded under the RRF are providing psychosocial
support and one will be providing advanced mental health care. DFID also brought forward
£3 million in funding to the International Committee of the Red Cross to help them
repair water infrastructure, deliver emergency medical services and protect the civilian
population.</p><p> </p>
