Data file: Household Dataset for the West Bank & Gaza Strip for Q1 - Q3, 2023
hhdata_3Qs ( Household-level file - Palestine, first three quarters 2023 )
This file gives a complete social, economic and living-conditions profile for every sampled household in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Jerusalem J1 during Q1-Q3 2023. The two-stage stratified cluster design drew 5,304 units from the 2017 census frame; enumeration-area primary units were selected with probability proportional to size, and 12 dwellings were then chosen systematically inside each area. Fieldwork ran from 2 January to 6 October 2023, when Gaza interviewing was halted by the war; all West Bank interviewing continued through 10 December, so the file nevertheless represents the population of Palestine for the first nine months of the year. Each record, keyed by ID00, holds-
Identifiers (ID00, ID01, region, loc_type) that pinpoint governorate, region (WB, GS, J1) and urban/rural/camp status, and link to the other survey files;
Household composition counts (QC3-QC5) and the line number of the responding member;
Housing & infrastructure variables (H1-H35) covering tenure, construction materials, floor area, room counts, water and electricity sources and outages, sewage disposal, solid-waste arrangements and hand-washing facilities;
Social-protection & coping modules (A-, C- prefixes) that detail all cash/food/medical assistance received, its frequency and value, remittances, loans, shocks experienced and coping strategies.
Sampling weights embedded in hhdata_3Qs adjust for both selection stages, non-response and post-stratification to mid-2023 household totals by governorate and locality type, so any estimate derived from the file - from mean housing density in Gaza camps to the share of J1 households receiving food vouchers - can be projected to the nine-month Palestinian population.
West Bank + Gaza (First Three Quarters 2023 microdata)
Weight variables: weight3q_trim (final calibrated & trimmed probability weight for the pooled Q1-Q3 sample) and its mean-one counterpart rw. Because Q4 fieldwork in Gaza was cancelled due to the ongoing Israeli aggression, seasonality could not be modelled for Gaza; therefore, key expenditure- and consumption-based indicators were released only for the West Bank, not for Gaza or the national level.
