Atlas Risk Score · 192nd safest of 220
Score raised to 60 by the advisory rule: governments currently advise against travel here. Why
Where the risk actually is
Risk is rarely spread evenly across a country. The base colour is the code the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs gives Palestine as a whole; shaded regions are those the UK Foreign Office names in an advisory against travel.
This map reads stronger than the world map's colour, and both are right. The world map shades Palestine by its Atlas Risk Score — 60, High — which blends government advice with crime, health, roads and natural hazards. This map shows the advice alone, and the strongest level anywhere in Palestine is “do not travel”.

What drives the score
Each pillar is scored 0–100 against every other country. Longer bar = more risk.
