As Part of the Efforts of the Ministerial Committee for Emergency Affairs: The MoSD Continues to Intensify Its Support for Displaced Families in Northern West Bank
In light of the difficult humanitarian conditions in the northern areas of the West Bank, the Ministry of Social Development continues to implement its emergency plan to support and assist displaced and affected families. This is part of the work of the Ministerial Committee for Emergency Affairs, as the Ministry dedicates all its resources to ensuring that urgent aid reaches those entitled to it, whether through the provision of food and hygiene parcels or by offering financial support to secure the basic needs of families who have lost their sources of livelihood due to the ongoing aggression.
The Ministry’s teams have managed to prepare thousands of food and hygiene parcels at the warehouses of the Directorate of Social Development in Jenin, which are being intensively distributed to displaced families. Additionally, the Palestinian government sent 13 aid trucks to Jenin, Tulkarm, and Tubas two weeks ago, followed by 8 more trucks last Thursday, carrying essential supplies. Furthermore, 8 pallets of potatoes were delivered to displaced families in Jenin to support food security for affected households.
As part of expanding the humanitarian response, the Directorate of Social Development in Tubas has provided 900 food parcels and 200 hygiene kits, along with distributing heating devices, cooking gas, mattresses, and blankets to ensure better living conditions for the displaced. In Tulkarm, the directorate received 250 mattresses and 250 blankets donated by Bank of Jerusalem, in addition to food parcels provided by the "Merciful Hearts Association," as part of ongoing efforts to alleviate the suffering of vulnerable families. The directorate also received an aid truck from the Qalqilya Directorate, which included 100 mattresses, 100 blankets, sanitary supplies, and baby formula, as part of the "Your Goodness for Your Homeland" campaign, which provided aid worth 21,326 shekels.
In parallel with in-kind assistance, financial aid amounting to 109,500 shekels has been provided by several donor institutions and humanitarian partners to support relief efforts and secure the essential needs of displaced families. This aid has contributed to shelter arrangements, the provision of basic necessities, and strengthening the Ministry’s ability to provide swift and direct assistance to families in need.
The Ministry of Social Development extends its sincere gratitude to all supporting institutions and partner entities that have provided financial and in-kind assistance as part of their social responsibility. The Ministry affirms that these efforts come within the framework of the Ministerial Committee for Emergency Affairs to ensure that support reaches every affected family. It also reiterates its full commitment to continuing intensive efforts in collaboration with all relevant local and international entities to sustain relief efforts and mitigate the suffering of our people during these difficult times.

On the International Day for the Elimination of Child Marriage, MoSD Affirms: Protecting Girls Begins with Education, Protection, & Family Empowerment
Ramallah – On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Child, Early and Forced Marriage, the Ministry of Social Development emphasized that child marriage cannot be addressed in isolation from the broader social protection system, as it is linked to multiple factors, including poverty, school dropout, domestic violence, loss of parental care, displacement, and weakened protection networks. The Ministry explained that its role includes protecting children and girls at risk, providing case management, family interventions, psychosocial support, and referral services, and connecting families with assistance, essential services, and economic empowerment programmes. It also coordinates with relevant authorities when the safety of a child or girl is at risk. The Ministry places the best interests of the child and protection from exploitation and abuse at the heart of its child protection services. The Ministry stressed that preventing early marriage also requires protecting families from poverty and economic shocks, supporting girls' continued access to education, raising awareness of their rights, and strengthening families' ability to cope with pressures without resorting to practices that may expose girls to long-term physical, psychological, and social risks. The issue is particularly concerning in the Gaza Strip, where the Ministry warned that the loss of parental care, displacement, extreme poverty, and the declining capacity of extended families to provide care and protection increase children's vulnerability to various forms of exploitation, including early marriage. In this context, the Ministry continues to work with local and international organizations involved in child and women's protection to strengthen early intervention, referral pathways, alternative care, and psychosocial support, alongside assistance to the most vulnerable families to reduce the risk factors that may contribute to early marriage. The Ministry called for child marriage to be addressed as a child protection and human rights issue requiring coordinated action among families and social, educational, health, and legal institutions. It also called for increased investment in girls' education, protection, and empowerment to safeguard their right to grow, learn, and make decisions about their future freely and safely.
On World Children's Day, MoSD: Palestinian Children Face Harsh Realities of Loss, Displacement, Violence, & Deprivation
Ramallah – On the occasion of World Children's Day, observed annually on 20 November, the Ministry of Social Development emphasized that Palestinian children are facing extremely harsh conditions amid the continuing consequences of the Israeli military offensive on the Gaza Strip and escalating attacks, displacement, home demolitions, and movement restrictions in the West Bank, including Jerusalem. These conditions have deprived children of their lives, families, shelter, education, care, and safety. According to available United Nations data, at least 21,700 children have been killed in the Gaza Strip, while approximately 45,000 have been injured, including more than 11,000 children who have sustained life-altering injuries. Meanwhile, thousands of families continue to experience repeated displacement and deprivation of essential services. In the West Bank, including Jerusalem, children continue to face attacks, forced displacement of families, and damage to schools, homes, and infrastructure. More than 1,700 children have been displaced since the beginning of 2026 as a result of settler violence, movement restrictions, and demolitions. The Ministry stressed that the consequences of war and occupation extend beyond immediate casualties to include bereavement, family separation, hunger, school dropout, child labour, violence, exploitation, acquired disabilities, and psychological and social distress. These risks require a comprehensive and long-term child protection response. The Ministry explained that child protection is a central pillar of its work, implemented through Child Protection Departments in its directorates. These departments receive reports, assess levels of risk, provide case management and family follow-up, facilitate referrals to specialized services, and intervene in cases of violence, abuse, exploitation, and neglect. Their responsibilities also include protecting children engaged in labour or begging, children who have dropped out of school, and children in conflict with the law, in coordination with relevant government authorities and partner organizations. In the Gaza Strip, children's protection and care needs have intensified significantly, particularly among orphans, children deprived of parental care, separated and unaccompanied children, and those requiring psychosocial support. In cooperation with its partners, the Ministry is working to provide alternative care, social follow-up, sponsorship programmes, psychological support, and food, health, and in-kind assistance, while strengthening and restoring child protection services across the Gaza Strip. The Ministry emphasized that protecting children is inseparable from protecting their families. Accordingly, child protection services form part of a broader social protection system encompassing food, cash, and non-food assistance, health insurance, education, school bags and stationery, psychosocial support, services for persons with disabilities, and family economic empowerment. These interventions aim to reduce the risks associated with poverty, displacement, loss of income, and family instability. The Ministry of Social Development called on the international community, United Nations agencies, humanitarian organizations, and donors to provide sustainable support for the Palestinian child protection system. It urged continued funding for alternative care programmes, orphan sponsorship, psychosocial support, education, nutrition, and rehabilitation, alongside support for Palestinian national institutions capable of reaching children and families and ensuring sustained follow-up. The Ministry concluded by emphasizing that World Children's Day cannot be merely an occasion for celebration while Palestinian children are deprived of their most fundamental rights. It stressed that protecting children begins with safeguarding their right to life and extends to ensuring their rights to family care, shelter, food, education, healthcare, protection, and social support.
