موظف ميداني - PREMIERE-URGENCE/AIDE MEDICALE INTERNATIONAL (PU-AMI -قلقيلية

PREMIERE-URGENCE/AIDE MEDICALE INTERNATIONAL (PU-AMI) is an international apolitical and non-religious non for profit organization intervening in more than 20 countries around the world to help people to survive and rebuild their lives. Première Urgence and Aide Médicale Internationale merged in 2011 to offer a better range of lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to communities affected or forced to flee from war or disaster. PU-AMI started working in Palestine in 2007 with the effort is to safeguard and advance the rights of the Palestinians through improvements of livelihood in selected Palestinian villages. PU-AMI’s 3 years-long humanitarian and development strategy (2013-2016) is directly related to the lack of respect of the Human Rights and the International Humanitarian Law by Israel as occupying power and combined several sectors to prevent the loss of livelihoods and prevent displacements as a consequence of protection threats, lack of services (Health, Education, WASH), and lack of access to agricultural lands or job opportunities. The improvement activities include creating short term job opportunities to vulnerable men and women who may suffer from food insecurity.
