Dear Community,

Here is the February/March update - delivering housing, sanitation, and water, and, we always priorities the most vulnerable communities:
Housewarming: During February and March, we restored 76 homes in Khan Younis and Gaza City, enabling total of 127 of the most vulnerable families to return home. Repairs focus on essential upgrades using locally available materials,  wood framing, heavy-duty tarps for insulation, plastic sheeting for weatherproofing, door/window restoration, and basic sanitation fixes

Water Provision: Still providing water every day for ~60,000 people in Al-Aqsa University camp and Al Buraq area. Covering 14 distribution sites.

Sanitation Infrastructure (Toilets and Sewage): Installation of 7 toilet units (18 cabins total) with 8 septic tanks.  - Four units + four tanks went to Jabalia camps ” Halawa, Ekdirah, and Issa Morad”.  -Three units + three tanks hit Khan Younis at “Allam, Mesk, and Layan camps”. 

-One tank Zomi Protection Camp covering 2 toilet units. Tanks are built tough with galvanized steel to handle clay soil. Side suction means no one has to clean by hand, and underground pipes keep it all connected smoothly.

Zomi & Mariam Camps: Through harsh winter conditions, our team performed consistent maintenance and replaced many destroyed tents. 

Families harvested fresh arugula, spinach, and herbs from camp gardens—providing nutrition and green spaces amid displacement.

Annual Report 2025: published and presented virtually with Q&A. Link to the presentation recording

Looking Ahead

  • Continue housing restoration, serving as many families as possible

  • Expand toilet/sanitation projects across more camps

  • Add small kitchen setups for large families

Thank you for supporting our work to alleviate hardship in Gaza.

With gratitude and solidarity,
Seba and Tom,
Co-founders, Clean Shelter
