Que faisons nous ...
SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL (SI) is an international humanitarian aid organization that has been providing assistance to populations affected by armed conflict and natural disasters for over 40 years, responding to their basic needs for food, water, and shelter. Particularly committed to combating diseases linked to unsafe water, the leading cause of death worldwide, SI applies its expertise in the areas of access to drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene promotion, as well as in the essential areas of food security and livelihoods. Present in more than 20 countries, teams made of expatriates, national employees, permanent staff at headquarters, and a few volunteers work with professionalism and commitment while respecting local cultures.
La mission
SI operates across the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, with a field base in Deir El Balah. The organization works to improve access to safe drinking water by rehabilitating or installing reverse osmosis units, distributing water via tankers and water points, and deploying mobile systems to pump water from existing wells. It also monitors water quality, provides hygiene kits to the most vulnerable households, promotes good hygiene and water management practices, and implements pilot activities in home gardening.
At the end of 2024, SOLIDARITรS INTERNATIONAL strengthened its rapid response capacity by creating a specialized Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) team, which has already been deployed during new crises and will be extended to the West Bank.
The organizationโs work relies on strong partnerships with local Palestinian organizations such as UFA and MAโAN. Its institutional and financial partners include CDCS, Choose Love, ECHO, Althรฉmis, and OCHADescriptif de l'offre

The mission operates in a rapidly changing environment where international transport is vital, requiring regular coordination with customs, transport companies, various authorities, and UN actors. The role also involves developing international transport routes and handling significant administrative work to obtain approvals for material imports. Gaza represents one of the most complex context for logistics. Therefore, the position includes a deep hands-on support at the base to fill gaps and help stabilize the supply team in a context where procurement procedures are being adapted through emergency processes, while regular procedures are simultaneously being implemented (LINK launch). In parallel, the Logistics Coordinator is requested to develop markets and supply opportunities in the West Bank. The position also requires hands-on support for the operationnal logistics team in the base to reinforce the efficiency of the team according to the multiple context changes and availability of ressources. Finally, with a very limited logistics coordination team, the position requires someone capable of carrying out the work independently. With the support of the Country Director, ensure the smooth management of expatriate rotations and coordinate with the teams in Paris and Amman for the provision of materials to Gaza.
