Al Shifa has been stretched beyond capacity, with medicines in short supply, inadequate equipment and shortage of fuel and electricity. The lack of clean water in Gaza has caused health problems amongst the population. Often, these health problems are due to the increased of proportion of nitrate salt, chloride or both: which are found in the ground water for drinking. We have continued to support the water project for the third year now. The water tanker distributes clean drinking water around the Gaza strip and provides supplies to mosques, hospitals, families and schools. A second Water Tanker has been donated to increase water distribution. We have committed to maintaining the running cost and salaries for the hospital. A third Ambulance has been planned to be purchased for the emergency services team. 2 TANKER TRUCKS 1 WATER PLANT 50K LITRES PER DAY FOOD SECURITY AND NUTRITION IFTAR AND QURBANI 20 PATIENT BEDS 20 PATIENT MONITORS 2 AMBULANCES 1 PORTABLE ULTRA- SOUND MACHINE 460 families received Iftar packs and 4 Qurbani distributions were made to 80 families across Gaza. 5 7 NURSES 2 DOCTORS 460 FAMILY IFTAR PACKS 4 SHEEP 6

In 2016 alone, floods, landslides and cyclones affected over 12 million people and caused hundreds of deaths. Located close to two active tectonic plates, the country is also exposed to significant risks of major earthquakes. Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. With the population estimated at 165 million and the poverty in the country is deep and widespread. 7 8

6 Through established local networks, Human Aid UK has continued to maintain the support for the displaced Burmese families residing in scattered areas of Bangladesh and Malaysia. Countless people are still left without the right to live in land, and with little to no support, their lives depend on getting support and aid from charities. The lack of assistance for unregistered refugees and host communities have led to tensions over scarce resources e.g. water and firewood. Consequently, this has escalated to physical and sexual hostility towards refugees, in particular women and girls. Unfortunately there is no legal protection for the undocumented refugees. BURMA Human Aid UK have continued helping the Burmese families. An overview of what has been achieved this year: HEALTH ACTION We provided 300 vaccination for Burmese refugee children. 300 vaccinations 9 10
