IntroductionThe conflict in Gaza has inflicted severe damage on Palestinian society and its economy. Over 33,000 Palestinians have lost their lives, with 75,000 injured, and widespread destruction of infrastructure has left over a million people homeless. The devastation brought upon the Gaza Strip's economy, as well as the disruption to the West Bank's everyday economic life, has led to substantial losses in employment and livelihoods. The ILO estimates that 507,000 jobs have been lost as of 31 January 2024 which comprise 201,000 jobs lost in Gaza Strip and 306,000 jobs lost in the West Bank. These job losses translate into daily labour income losses of USD 21.7 million The unemployment rate in the OPT will soar to a staggering 57 per cent in the first quarter of 2024 affecting all economic sectors except agriculture, which is expected to remain stable.
In countering the aftermath of the war in Gaza on the labour market in the OPT, the ILO embarked on an emergency response programme (ERP) detailing a set of interventions across three phases of relief, review, and recovery. The ERP has a fundamental objective in supporting national systems and strengthening the role of tripartite constituents in mitigating the devastating impact of the situation and recognizes the criticality to working closely within the wider context of UN's relief and recovery programming to address the emerging immediate needs of the Palestinian labour market. The first phase focuses on relief, involving the immediate provision of material assistance, including emergency income support for Gazan workers ousted from their jobs in Israel and stranded in the West Bank without any form of social protection. The second phase centres on review, entailing data collection and impact analysis to better understand the ramifications of the current crisis for the labour market and support the prioritization and fine-tuning of recovery phase interventions. The third phase aims at recovery and will concentrate on restoration of jobs and businesses in the West Bank and Gaza through the coordinated execution of three interconnected components: Employment Promotion, Social Protection, and Business Recovery.
