Background:
Mercy Corps is powered by the belief that a better world is possible. To do this, we know our teams do their best work when they are diverse and every team member feels that they belong. We welcome diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and skills so that we can be stronger and have long term impact.
Since 1986, Mercy Corps has helped Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza access critical services and become more economically self-sufficient. Our goal is that Palestinians are empowered to meet their basic needs and overcome the negative effects of the occupation and internal political divisions, while becoming more economically self-sufficient and civically engaged in order to live with greater dignity and create a brighter future. The escalation of conflict that began on October 7, 2023, has sharply exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the region. With funding from multiple donors, Mercy Corps and its partners are actively working to respond to the crisis to ensure households are better able to meet their basic needs, while continuing support to the West Bank to capitalize on pockets of opportunity to overcome barriers and support the development of the local economy.
