Desired start date: 1-Jan-2026
Duration of the mission: 31-Aug-2026 (3 rotations)
Location: Gaza
SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL (SI) is an international humanitarian aid association which, since more than 40 years, has been providing assistance to populations affected by armed conflicts and natural disasters by meeting their basic needs for food, water and shelter. Particularly committed to the fight against diseases linked to unsafe water, the leading cause of death in the world, SI's interventions provide expertise in the field of access to drinking water, sanitation and hygiene promotion, but also in the essential area of food security and livelihoods. Present in 26 countries, the SI teams – 3200 people in total, made up of expatriates, national staff, permanent staff at HQ, and a few volunteers - intervene with professionalism and commitment while respecting cultural norms.
SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL 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 shelter, winterization and 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, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL strengthened its rapid response capacity by creating a specialized Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) team, which has already been deployed during new crisis and extended to the West Bank.
The organization’s work relies on strong partnerships with local Palestinian organizations such as UFA and MA’AN. Its institutional and financial partners include CDCS, Choose Love, ECHO, Althémis, and OCHA.
Around 35 staffs in total on the mission.
1 base in Gaza (25 Staffs), 1 coordination base in Jerusalem (5 staffs), 3 Staffs in West Bank.
Coordination team in Jerusalem: 1 Country Director, 1 Program Coordinator, 1 Logistic Coordinator, 1 Admin Coordinator
Logistic team in Gaza: 1 Supply supervisor, 1 Purchaser, 1 Log Officer (recruitment ongoing) and 3 guards
General objective:
The Logistician carries out logistics management of his/her base, in compliance with donor and SI procedures.
He/she implements and supervises all logistics operations at his/her assigned base.
He/she organizes logistic support for programs, in compliance with SI procedures.
He/she assists the field coordinator in the implementation of safety rules.
He/she supports, monitors and trains the members of his/her team.
The main challenges:
- SI has established operational presence in Gaza early 2024 and runs operations with national teams possessing limited humanitarian experience and seniority with the organization.
- The operational volume of the base has rapidly increased in an extremely challenging, restricted and rapidly changing operational environment, requiring constant adaptation.
- Entry of goods into Gaza strip remains extremely limited. While situation has improved since 10th of October, local markets remain poorly supplied, and international procurement greatly restricted.
- If sustained, the ceasefire brokered on 10th of October offers an opportunity to progressively transition away from pure humanitarian assistance, towards early recovery type of programming.
- Despite improvements since 10th of October, the security situation remains very fluid, and the operational environment associated with high levels of stress and difficult living conditions.
Priorities for the 2/3 first months:
The recruitment of a Logistic Manager for Deir Al Balah base follows the split of the Support Manager position into two separate (Logistic and Administrative) manager positions. This split is commanded by increased operational volume and the need to build capacity of national team in a recently established base. The Logistic Manager's priorities for the first months will be:
- To continue build the capacity of national Logistic team (recently recruited)
- To support program teams for the completion of ongoing grants (ECHO, CDCS)
- To deploy Link and transition the base towards more standard logistic procedures
Security constraints:
Security constraints are very high in Gaza, with a context marked by high-intensity military activities including air strikes, land and naval bombardments, as well as risks associated with medium and light infantry weapons. Social tensions are also very high, linked to the war, difficult living conditions and the collapse of economic activity, leading to looting, inter-family dispute as well as criminal acts. Since the ceasefire brokered on 10th of October 2025, the security situation has improved and explosive violence (airstrikes, shelling) has sharply reduced. The situation however remains very fluid and a worsening of the situation remains a possible scenario.

LIVING CONDITIONS:
The position is based in Deir-el-Balah, where Solidarités International has its office and guesthouse (like most INGOs). Since the ceasefire brokered on 10th of October, living conditions have improved and markets are increasingly functional. At the time of position opening it was possible to find most basic food items in Deir el Balah market - including fruits and vegetables - although at high prices. Electricity in SI office and guest house is entirely solar-powered which, especially in winter, could be associated with temporary shortages. Despite improvements in the security and economic situations, the working environment remains associated with high levels of stress and limited opportunities to relax. There is however increasing international staff presence in Gaza hence opportunities to socialize over the weekend, within established security procedures.
