Occupied Palestinian Territories
L2GP began research in the occupied Palestinian Territories in 2009 as part of the first round of research into how people perceive and respond to crises. Since then, L2GP has continued to work with local actors in the West Bank and in Gaza to understand how communities respond to protracted conflict and humanitarian crisis.
All reports are available in both Arabic and English.
Another Look at Palestine
It was a river with two banks
and a heavenly mother who nursed it with drops from the clouds
But they kidnapped the mother
so it ran short of water
and died, slowly, of thirst.
Extract from “A river dies of thirst”, Mahmoud Darwish, 2008
A reflective photo essay looking at more than 5 years of supporting community led responses (sclr) in the West Bank and Gaza, exploring how it has changed people’s relationships with themselves, between men and women, and between communities, authorities and NGOs.
