Harvard IHL: Humanitarian access and security in the OPT - a dialogue with practitioners

There is a new topic on the ALNAP forum which may be of interest for people researching access and movement issues in conflict zones. Harvard University commissioned last year a project under the title "An exchange of practitioner perspectives on humanitarian access and security concerns in the OPT".

In this project, a recently retired officer of the IDF and the Country Director of CARE International in West Bank and Gaza present their views on contemporary challenges to humanitarian access. The authors have engaged

in a direct dialogue on the most recent issues plaguing humanitarian access and security, specifically concerns with access to the Gaza Strip and cooperation between humanitarian practitioners and security forces on the ground.
