Safety and security services to Palestinian and international NGOs in Gaza
Gaza is an extremely volatile environment with high security and safety risks. UNDSS has developed mechanisms for security management which does not include NGOs staff nor diplomats. INSO (International NGO Safety Office) is a project which complements the UNDSS framework and provides security and safety services to NGOs working in the difficult and extremely fragile environment of Gaza. These services allows the NGOs based on the information provided by INSO to better assess the security situation, to improve their awareness and to increase their competences and skills in security and safety management and to rely on a well-coordinated system in case of evacuation. INSO also provides a platform for NGOs to exchange on security and safety issues

Contesto |
The Gaza Strip in the oPt has experienced three wars in six years, the latest in Summer 2014 which resulted in immense human and infrastructure losses. The economic situation in the Gaza strip is dramatic and more than 80% of its population relies on international aid. However, after the latest armed conflict, humanitarian aid is very slow and does not reach significant part of the population; reconstruction has hardly started because of restrictions on import for reconstruction material, increasing the frustration and anger of the populations towards the international community. Threats and attacks against representatives of the international community or international institutions have increased in the last few months. |
Obiettivi |
