New Partnership Agreement to Enhance Access to Safe Drinking Water for Displaced Families
Al-Manal Association for Rural Women’s Development has signed a partnership agreement with the French organization Super Novae to implement the project:
“Supply Safe Drinking Water to IDP Camps in the Middle Governorate of Gaza Strip.”
This agreement comes as part of ongoing efforts to alleviate the suffering of displaced and marginalized families in the Gaza Strip, by distributing safe drinking water to IDP camps and the most vulnerable households—particularly those who lack support from other organizations and have no access to nearby, safe water sources.
The agreement was signed on behalf of Al-Manal Association by Mr. Mahmoud Fouad Musabeh, Executive Director, and on behalf of Super Novae by Dr. Loai Naser, Country Director.
This partnership reaffirms the shared commitment of both parties to support the most vulnerable communities and work together to meet their basic needs amid the difficult humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.
Dr. Ahmed Abu Holi, Member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization and Head of the Refugee Affairs Department, made a phone call to Al-Manal Association for the Development of Rural Women to inquire about the conditions of residents in Deir Al-Balah following the recent wave of displacement, and to follow up on the association’s efforts in providing support and assistance to affected families.
During the call, Dr. Abu Holi extended his heartfelt condolences to the family of the late activist Mona Bkheit, one of the association’s prominent members and a leading feminist figure in Gaza. He praised her national role and active contributions to women’s and refugee issues.
Dr. Abu Holi also expressed his full solidarity with the people of Deir Al-Balah, affirming his support for them in light of the severe destruction caused by the aggression. He offered condolences to the families of the martyrs and prayed for a speedy recovery for the wounded and mercy for the souls of the fallen.
For his part, Mr. Mahmoud Musabeh, Chairman of the Board of Al-Manal Association, expressed his appreciation for this kind gesture by Dr. Abu Holi, considering it a sincere national initiative that reflects the Palestinian leadership’s concern for the suffering of its people, and its commitment to supporting grassroots institutions and national figures working in the field.
