Occupied Palestinian Territory - Protecting childhood

Since 2003, the European Commission Humanitarian Aid Department (ECHO) has given UNICEF $3 million to improve water and sanitation and to help children and families cope with violence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. This aid focuses on children living in neighbourhoods where violence is common. It trains networks of counselors to provide support to children, their families and caregivers.
