1. **Purpose of consultancy**

To enhance the implementation of EWARS system in Gaza, WHO-Emergency Health Departement / IHP unit is seeking a consultant to support in implementing, expanding, monitoring, and documenting the overall progress of the surveillance system and provide guidance for disease outbreaks preparedness and response.

2. **Background**

The ongoing hostilities and war in Gaza have burdened the health and social systems, leaving nearly 2 million people in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. In Gaza City and North of Gaza, over 300,000 individuals require immediate life-saving aid, while more than 1.8 million people have been displaced from their homes.

Prior to the crisis, there was a responsive surveillance system overseen by the MoH in Gaza. There were two main sources of surveillance data:1) a paper-based system run by the MoH and 2) a digital system operated by UNRWA through passive surveillance. The routine disease surveillance in Gaza has been negatively impacted by the destruction of the health infrastructure, shortage of human resources, continuous population movement, electricity outage, unstable internet connectivity, and telecommunication coverage.

To date, over 40 sites distributed over Gaza are part of the EWARS network. In addition, several EMTs are also regularly reporting surveillance data on the priority conditions. MoH is still collecting surveillance data from several sites
- which are changing as the situation evolves-using a paper-based system.

Many challenges affect EWARS performance in Gaza. Security, population movement, inadequate data management capacity, shortage of human resources, inconsistent reporting sources and channels, in addition to inadequate confirmation capacity. Therefore, more efforts need to be exerted to strengthen the EWARS system and expand to ensure adequate coverage and better visibility of epi situation. Furthermore, continuous technical support and guidance need to be provided to control ongoing or potential disease outbreaks.
