TİKA’S Immediate Shelter Support for the Gazan Workers

Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA) provided a supply kit containing mattresses, blankets, pillows, towels, and clothes for approximately 6 thousand Gazan workers who settled in West Bank.

After the attacks, work permits of approximately 18 thousand Gazan workers who used to work in Israel before Israel’s attack on Gaza that started on October 7, were cancelled. Some of these workers were arrested by the Israeli security forces. Approximately 6 thousand workers managed to reach West Bank with their own efforts.

Workers who arrived at West Bank were placed at the shelters in Ramallah, Jericho, Qalqilya, Tulkarm, Jenin, Nablus, Hebron, Jerusalem, Salfit, Bethlehem, and Tubas.

In cooperation with the Palestinian Prime Ministry and the Ministry of Labour, these workers were provided with 1000 supply kits containing mattresses, blankets, pillows, towels, and clothes.

The supplies prepared by TİKA were delivered to the authorities of the Ministry of Labour to be distributed to the workers.
