At the onset of the Gaza crisis in 2024, a rapid response intervention was implemented to support Palestinian families stranded in Egypt. Many of these families arrived with only enough money for a short stay, quickly finding themselves without the necessary funds for food, shelter, or basic needs. Those who evacuated Gaza often depleted their life savings to cover the costs of border crossing.

This intervention provided cash grants to alleviate immediate economic hardships, allowing families to meet essential needs such as food, shelter, and healthcare. By offering direct financial assistance, the program empowered families to make independent decisions about their priorities, helping stabilize their social and economic conditions while awaiting more comprehensive and long-term support programs.
