The objectives of this case study are to:
- deepen our understanding of the drivers and history of
- urban displacement in the Gaza Strip;
- review national and international policies and legal
- frameworks for the urban displaced, including housing
- and land policies;
- discuss the specific protection threats affecting displaced
- people living in the Gaza Strip and how they compare with
- the threats other residents face;
- assess the specific vulnerabilities of these displaced
- people, particularly in relation to access to basic services,
- urban infrastructure and livelihood opportunities and how
- they compare with other residents; and
- contribute to policy debates about how the international aid
- community can best engage with displaced people living in
- Gaza’s urban areas, and the implications for humanitarian
- and development programming in this regard.
