This report is a part of the ASDC’s tools and mechanisms for identifying and prioritizing the community needs, where the identification of community needs comes in the first phase of the project life cycle. The needs assessment was developed to assess the needs, and priorities of conflict-affected individuals, with and without disabilities, during the current war in Gaza 2025. The report assesses various critical aspects, including shelter conditions, medical care, financial and livelihood needs, psychological support, exploitation and abuse, accessibility and inclusion, in addition to access to education and protection.

This community engagement is a part of an accountability mechanism that is used within Atfaluna for identifying the locations for interventions, and to assess the beneficiaries' views, needs and expectations. Atfaluna strategic plan, projects and intervention are built on a sustainable approach to strengthen the interventions and make sure that women and girls with disabilities have access to services across the Gaza Strip. The Atfaluna strategic plan was structured to mainstream safeguarding and child protection across all the projects and interventions. This assessment has been conducted in coordination with Bitona for Community development.
