Welfare Association has responded to the community's needs in Palestine by providing direct, emergency relief and support for the families of those killed, injured and left jobless due to the violence and closures, support for rehabilitation and treatment centers and provision of special aids for disabled people.

Development Amidst Emergency (2000-2004): Since 2000, the Welfare Association has intensified its activities and redirected much of its work toward developing programs and raising funds to meet the emergency needs of individuals for food, shelter, medical assistance, education and jobs, while continuing with its ongoing development programs and projects for civil society institutions. WA designed and implemented emergency programs for external donors that used rigorous criteria to ensure that assistance reaches the neediest, monitored procurement procedures for supplies, and guaranteed efficient and rapid disbursement of relief aid.
