Temporary Sites Planning Tipsheet

A TIP SHEET FOR THINGS TO CONSIDER BY PEOPLE PLANNING TEMPORARY SITES IN GAZA 

The following document is for use by people returning to their neighborhood or displacement sites, for NGO and Civil Society Supporting them and for Municipal staff and utilities.

Context:  Following 15 months of displacement, the massive scale destruction of residential and urban areas and the recent ceasefire, there is a large volume of people returning to, or near to, their place of origin. Many of these returnees will need to build temporary accommodation in a vacant piece of land. The following tip sheet is intended to advise them on the broad steps to follow in planning the site. The document is based on 3 broad areas, Planning, Ground Assessment and Site setup, with 19 areas of consideration. The document is not comprehensive guidance, but a starting point.
