The Nutrition Cluster in the State of Palestine (SoP)

The Nutrition Cluster in SoP works collaboratively to strengthen technical and coordination capacities for nutrition interventions. Our focus is on addressing the needs of affected populations. This allows us to forecast nutrition trends, prepare for emergencies, respond effectively to shocks, and support recovery efforts within the humanitarian context.

Nutrition Needs and Response Plan

The current nutrition needs and response plan for SoP are outlined in the SoP Flash Appeal for April - December 2024. This document succeeds the Flash Appeal for the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) published on October 12, 2023.
