الملخص

In conflict-affected areas such as the Gaza Strip, humanitarian organizations recognize the critical importance of effective communication in ensuring the fair and efficient distribution of aid to those in need. This study examines the limitations of the current decentralized communication systems, which often fail to reach the most vulnerable populations and hinder their access to essential resources. To address these challenges, the study proposes that humanitarian organizations adopt a centralized communication system based on a unified digital application. The proposed system includes a centralized beneficiary registration portal, real-time notifications, and an interactive map indicating aid distribution locations.


Through qualitative interviews with representatives of international humanitarian organizations operating in Gaza, the study finds that such a centralized system can significantly enhance coordination among aid providers, reduce duplication in aid delivery, and improve beneficiary satisfaction.


The findings emphasize the urgent need for advanced digital solutions to bridge communication gaps and ensure the equitable and effective distribution of humanitarian aid in crisis-affected regions.
