Abstract
This qualitative study aims to identify the barriers and enablers for the uptake of public health measures in Palestine refugee camp communities in the Gaza Strip. It will also look at protection concerns for vulnerable groups arising as a result of public health measures being implemented in the communities. Expected outcomes are a better- informed UNRWA response to COVID-19 in Palestinian refugee communities, supported by an increased evidence base of current community practices surrounding COVID-19, and data on the interconnection between public health measures and protection issues.
