Dates and duration of the internship program
Internships last for a minimum of three months and can be extended in agreement with the administration of PCHR.
Access to the Gaza Strip
However, as you are probably aware, access to the Gaza Strip due to the blockade is currently very restricted – and this had severely impacted upon our internship program. PCHR is unable to organize your entry into Gaza, which means that you will have to do so on your own.
Conditions
PCHR provides interns with accommodation, often shared with other interns. In addition, PCHR reimburses the airfare upon the intern’s arrival in Gaza.
