JOB CONTEXT:
Since October 2023, Gaza has been plunged into an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe marked by mass destruction, displacement, and loss of life. By October 2025, 67,173 Palestinians were killed and 169,780 were injured while 90% of the population—2.1 million people—had been displaced multiple times. The health system is on the verge of collapse, humanitarian access remains extremely limited, and the entire population faces crisis or worse levels of food insecurity, with nearly half a million people at risk of famine. Attacks on hospitals, schools, and shelters continue, while widespread explosive ordnance contamination endangers civilians and obstructs humanitarian operations. Approximately 25% of the injured—around 22,500 people—require immediate and long-term rehabilitation, including thousands of children who have suffered life-changing injuries, with Gaza now home to the largest group of child amputees in modern history.
