Sanitation conditions in Gaza continue to deteriorate and remain critical. After months and years in displacement camps without adequate infrastructure, families face increasing health risks linked to inadequate waste management, sewage overflows, and accumulating rubble. Clean Shelter continues to work across these interconnected challenges, focusing on practical, mid-term measures to mitigate risks in waste management, sewage containment, and rubble clearance, and is committed to delivering water for multiple uses to remote areas that lack access.
House-Warming: 25 Additional Families Return Home
Through our Shelter Program, Clean Shelter has restored safer and more dignified living conditions for 25 families by repairing damaged homes and making them habitable and weather-resistant once again. These interventions help families move out of tents and return to more stable shelter, improving safety, dignity, and protection for vulnerable households.
In addition, we carried out essential sewage repairs in a residential building in Gaza, housing 28 families. The work helped address environmental contamination and significantly improved sanitation conditions for all residents.
Sewage Control
Sewage management remains one of our most urgent priorities. As part of an ongoing project providing bathroom panels and septic tanks, we delivered essential infrastructure across multiple displacement sites: five bathroom panels installed in five camps and seven septic tanks installed in seven camps.
These interventions improve hygiene conditions, help prevent sewage overflow, and reduce health risks for displaced families living under increasingly difficult circumstances.
Water Access Expanded to a New Area
In addition to our continuous provision of safe drinking water to 60,000 people per day, Clean Shelter has successfully extended water access to a community residing at a higher elevation in Tal Elamal. This community previously had to walk long distances to obtain water. The problem is now solved for 140 families, who no longer face this daily burden.
Looking Ahead
Clean Shelter remains committed to scaling our response as needs grow. With sanitation conditions deteriorating and funding remaining unpredictable, your support is essential to keep these vital services running and to reach more families in urgent need. Thank you for standing with displaced families in Gaza.
We are now fundraising for the continuation of our operations in the second half of 2026 – we need your help and support! Please feel free to share our newsletter and social media posts and donate today to ensure safer living conditions for the most vulnerable individuals and families in Gaza!
With gratitude, The Clean Shelter Team.
