In this article, we draw upon the context of Kufr Aqab – a ‘no-man’s land’ neither controlled by the Palestinian Authority nor Israel – to demonstrate the complex and multifaceted ethical dilemmas faced by social workers practising in ‘in-between’ conflict settings. Ethical challenges relate to social workers’ safety and security, as well as their capacity to deliver meaningful change. We argue that despite the challenging and often violent environments in which they work, social workers demonstrate important competencies to overcome these dilemmas by drawing upon and utilizing personal and community resources. We highlight calls to action for both social work practitioners and researchers.

无人区——“中间”冲突环境中的社会工作：Kufr Aqab 的伦理挑战和困境

在本文中，我们利用库夫尔亚喀布（Kufr Aqab）的背景——一个既不受巴勒斯坦权力机构控制，也不受以色列控制的“无人区”——来展示在“中间”冲突环境中执业的社会工作者所面临的复杂和多方面的道德困境. 道德挑战与社会工作者的安全和保障以及他们提供有意义变革的能力有关。我们认为，尽管他们工作的环境充满挑战且经常是暴力的，但社会工作者展示了通过利用个人和社区资源来克服这些困境的重要能力。我们强调呼吁社会工作从业者和研究人员采取行动。
