Occupied Palestinian Territories: A Political Crisis with Humanitarian Consequences

Ricardo Solé-Arqués

A chapter in The Humanitarian Response Index 2008, 2009, pp 186-195 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The survey for the Humanitarian Response Index 2008 in the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt) focuses on donors’responses to humanitarian needs. A thorough analysis of the conflict is not intended here, but donors’response and behaviour cannot be understood without reference to the highly political and complex nature of the conflict. Having its roots in the Middle East decolonisation process and subsequently overlaid with Cold War dynamics, the context of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians living in the West Bank (WB) and the Gaza Strip has evolved along with global changes, interlinking global agendas with the local conflict.
