Long term diseases are increasing worldwide, including in developing countries, resulting in a huge economic and health burden to society. While there are known policies and interventions to prevent and control long term diseases, these may not be applicable in settings exposed to prolonged armed conflict, such as Gaza. It is therefore important to understand which policies could best work in these situations to minimise the harm long term diseases cause to societies.This research will involve conducting a household survey of the population in Gaza in order to understand the types of long term diseases experienced (e.g. diabetes, heart disease) as well as their risk factors (e.g. smoking, unhealthy diet). The data from this household survey will inform a statistical model, which will predict how long term diseases and their risk factors will change over time depending on the policies that governments and other agencies implement in Gaza. This modelling component will test different scenarios under different conditions, such as siege, blockage, armed conflict, and restrictions to farming and imports, and will aim to identify set of value for money and feasible interventions best suited to the population of Gaza.

在世界范围内，包括在发展中国家，长期疾病正在增加，给社会造成巨大的经济和健康负担。虽然有预防和控制长期疾病的已知政策和干预措施，但这些政策和干预措施可能不适用于长期武装冲突的环境，如加沙。因此，重要的是要了解哪些政策在这些情况下最有效，以尽量减少疾病对社会造成的长期危害。这项研究将涉及对加沙人口进行一次家庭调查，以了解所患的长期疾病类型（如糖尿病、心脏病）及其风险因素（如吸烟、不健康饮食）。这项家庭调查的数据将为统计模型提供信息，该模型将根据政府和其他机构在加沙实施的政策，预测长期疾病及其风险因素将如何随时间变化。这一建模组件将测试不同条件下的不同情景，如围困、封锁、武装冲突以及对农业和进口的限制，并将旨在确定一套最适合加沙人口的物有所值和可行的干预措施。
