Analysing care policies and practices in times of austerity and conflict: the case of the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT)

Keywords

Overview

In fragile and conflict-affected contexts, the COVID-19 pandemic hit communities much harder than elsewhere by adding another layer of vulnerability to their already precarious circumstances.
