JOB CONTEXT:

The Palestine mission is part of the Mashriq regional programme, which covers Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine.

HI in 2023 has been implementing a mix of humanitarian and development projects in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including a long-term rehabilitation project in Gaza. HI is also the coordinator of the Rehabilitation Platforms in Gaza and in the West Bank (two coordination bodies among all rehabilitation actors in each area).

The new conflict between Hamas and Israel in October 2023 has created a major humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. Around 70,000 Palestinians have been injured and several thousand among them have suffered from amputations or permanent impairments.

In Gaza, HI has launched some light rehabilitation activities in IDP shelters through trained volunteers and has provided more than 1,000 people with assistive devices. HI is planning to scale up substantially its response in the coming months, hiring more local physiotherapists, providing emergency rehabilitation also in homes, supporting hospitals and launching prosthetics and orthotics services. HI is also the lead of the Rehabilitation Task Force in Gaza.

In the West Bank, HI is supporting two local rehabilitation centres to provide rehabilitation services and will start soon to support a third center. HI is also the lead of the Rehabilitation Task Force in the West Bank.

The total budget for 2024 will likely be between 7 and 12 M EUR. The total number of staff is around 60 + around 50 volunteers, and it is expected to grow up to around 150/200 staff in total (for all sectors).

Current sectors of activity: physical rehabilitation, humanitarian mine action, humanitarian logistics, education in emergencies, emergency preparedness, disability mainstreaming/inclusion in humanitarian action, advocacy

Main challenges: severe lack of security and humanitarian access in Gaza; security risks, access constraints, and potential further escalation in West Bank and East Jerusalem.
