Implementation stage In progress

Risk level Moderate

Brief justification While the presence of appropriate Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) procedures and the provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for workers mitigate some risks, inherent dangers still exist in handling and distributing supplies. Additionally, the volatile environment in Gaza introduces significant security risks to project workers, necessitating robust safety measures. These considerations justify the moderate risk rating to ensure that appropriate mitigation measures are in place. Please see the conclusion below for the details.
