INTRODUCTION
The Protection Monitoring System (PMS) continues to provide timely and systematic evidence on protection risks affecting displaced populations across Gaza. Through a combination of Key Informant Interviews (KII) and Focus Group Discussions (FGD), the system captures both quantitative trends and qualitative insights to inform protection analysis and response planning. This snapshot presents an overview of protection risk severity scores, evolving risk trends since the start of monitoring in August 2024, and key protection concerns raised by affected communities during the most recent reporting period.
Methodology
During this reporting period, data collection was conducted through structured interviews with key informants representing diverse community groups and sectors, and through facilitated focus group discussions engaging displaced populations across multiple locations. A central role in data collection was played by the Emergency Protection Responders Network under the umbrella of the Protection Cluster in Gaza, whose trained field teams carried out the majority of KIIs and FGDs, ensuring timely, community-based data collection under challenging field conditions. The data collection tools applied were developed based on the Protection Analytical Framework (PAF), enabling comprehensive monitoring of protection risks aligned with Global Protection Cluster standards.
