So 3 people How about if I’m somewhere worse than Norfolk (where I am now). Say I have a certain amount of work to do in Gaza - say 180 hours of it. Do I send 3 people to do the job in 4 or 5 days, or do I keep them there twice as long or send twice as many people - doubling the length and footprint in country, massively increasing the risk (as well as more people being away from home for longer). As the employee I would not be looking forward to spending a full evening in the Al Deira every night, assuming their generator is working. I’d rather spend time at home. How does it even work with travel - I’ve spent 6 hours getting through customs and immigration in some places, let alone the flight to get there.

Travel time is (as you probably guessed) somewhat more complicated. The short version is that travel can happen outside your work time, as long as either immediately before or after the travel you aren't working (so e.g. you can travel from home to a customer outside work time, but traveling from work to a customer is work time). As for traveling to Gaza: I guess you need more people or longer. The main concern of the law aren't the exceptional once-in-a-blue-moon cases but the everyday problem of workers. A better, safer work environment for millions is worth having some hypothetical people in Gaza for a bit longer.
