The humanitarian crisis in Palestine, particularly in Gaza and the northern West Bank, has reached catastrophic levels following the escalation of conflict since October 2023. Women and girls have been disproportionately affected by displacement, loss of livelihoods, food insecurity, and lack of protective mechanisms. According to UN Women estimates, in Gaza more than 38,000 women and girls have been killed, 11,000 are suffering from lifelong injuries, while the majority of women and girls have experienced repeated displacement. Across Gaza and the West Bank, the collapse of infrastructure, disruption of services, and widespread economic hardship have left women and girls facing heightened protection risks, limited access to healthcare, and reduced livelihood opportunities. Women-headed households have increased significantly due to conflict-related deaths and displacement, further exacerbating vulnerabilities. This assignment will support UN Women Palestine’s research and data production, contributing to evidence and knowledge on the impact of the crisis on women and girls and to inform gender-responsive humanitarian and recovery interventions.
