These booklets came as a result of a comprehensive study of all localities in the Nablus Governorate, and aim to depict the overall living conditions in the governorate and presenting developmental plans to assist in improving the livelihood of the population in the area. It was accomplished through the "Village Profiles and Needs Assessment" project funded by the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation for Development (AECID). The "Village Profiles and Needs Assessment" was designed to study, investigate, analyze and document the socio-economic conditions and the programs and activities needed to mitigate the impact of the current insecure political, economic and social conditions in the Nablus Governorate. The project's objectives are to survey, analyze and document the available natural, human, socioeconomic and environmental resources, and the existing limitations and needs assessment for the development of the rural and marginalized areas in the Nablus Governorate.

The Reality of Palestinian Refugee Camps in Light of COVID-19”
A Policy Paper entitled: “The Reality of Palestinian Refugee Camps in light of COVID-19” Written by: Raed Mohammad Al-Dib’i Introduction: According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, there are 58 official Palestinian refugee camps affiliated to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), of which 10 are in Jordan, 9 in Syria, 12 in Lebanon, 19 in the West Bank and 8 in the Gaza Strip. However, there are a number of camps that are not recognized by the UNRWA.1 17% of the 6.2 million Palestinian refugees registered with UNRWA reside in the West Bank, compared to 25% in the Gaza Strip; while the rest is distributed among the diaspora, including the Arab countries.2 The Coronavirus pandemic poses a great challenge in addition to those that the Palestinian refugees already encounter in refugee camps, compared to other areas for a number of reasons, including the low level of health services provided by UNRWA - originally modest - especially after the latter's decision to reduce its services to refugees, the high population density in the camps, which makes the implementation of public safety measures, social distancing and home quarantine to those who have COVID-19 and who they were in contact with a complex issue. Another reason is the high rate of unemployment in the Palestinian camps, which amounts to 39%, compared to 22% for non-refugees3, thus, constituting an additional challenge in light of the pandemic. The Palestinian National Authority (PNA) adopts the policy of partial or complete closure to combat the COVID-19 outbreak in light of the inability to provide the requirements for a decent life to all of its citizens for numerous reasons.
