Project Unified Assistance (PUA) is a US-based humanitarian nonprofit organization advocating to establish a UN operated and regulated airport in the Gaza Strip.

​

Backers of PUA’s concept include Palestinians (from both the West bank and Gaza), Israelis, Jews, Muslims, Arabs, and American and international experts who believe in the need for humanitarian aviation as a service to people in Gaza. Our advisers include former high ranking US and UN diplomats, academics, communications experts, NGO directors and businessmen with an interest in the Middle East. We have been and continue to promote PUA's concept with Israeli politicians and think tanks, Palestinian diplomats, analysts, and journalists, American strategists, groups, and activists, and dozens of international diplomats, policy analysts, security experts, humanitarian workers, journalists, and economic development practitioners. The majority support the proposal and have no objections to the idea or its components – their concerns pertain to how soon this could be implemented, and whether Israel would support the proposed humanitarian, UN managed airport. PUA's concept was collectively built by technical, diplomatic and legal experts who support our work discretely due to professional constraints imposed by their sensitive roles. Some others are adopting a ‘wait-and-see’ approach to observe broader reactions to the concept. We are honored and humbled by the endorsements of the following individuals (this is a partial list):
