The questionnaire for the poll (see Annex 3 for the English version
and Annex 4 for the Arabic version) was elaborated in a way that could
offer data on Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (including
refugees and non-refugees; refugees residing in camps and outside camps;
rural and urban populations) on four main topics*:
- A general description of the situation allowing for assessing
change in the employment situation and place of work during the past months
of Intifada; the socio-economic conditions of households (number of people
living in the household; people employed; number of members who lost their
jobs); the impact of the crisis on Palestinian families in terms of mobility,
material losses (property damaged, trees uprooted, business), as well as
human suffering and losses (children, injured and martyrs).
- The assistance delivered according to type and source, as well
as the Palestinians‘ satisfaction in relation to aid providers (private,
public, local, international).
- The assistance needed from the Palestinians‘ perspective, both
from an individual and community point of view. This section allows
for measuring the perceptions of the impact of the aid delivered at the
two above-mentioned levels (in five main areas: health, food, employment,
education, infrastructure) as well as to better know the Palestinians‘
priorities.
- The type of assistance provided by UNRWA and the satisfaction
of its beneficiaries.
* Concerning the data collected through questions no.
