Statement by Jan Egeland, Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC):

Aid workers of the Norwegian Refugee Council inside Gaza City and across the middle and southern parts of Gaza are witnessing spreading famine, intensifying bombardment and spiralling displacement. The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) urged global leaders today to press Israel and Hamas for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, secure the release of hostages and Palestinian detainees, and allow civil society and aid agencies to operate freely in Gaza.

In less than nine months, Israel has demolished more Palestinian homes and structures in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, over building permits than in the whole of last year, the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) said today.

Update following incident at Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) premises in Gaza City

In northern Mozambique, coordinated attacks by armed groups in September have displaced hundreds of families. People fleeing Mocímboa de Praia are reaching Mueda and Nangade, the nearest accessible districts. But the area is already under strain after eight years of conflict, making it difficult for people to get adequate support.

Thousands of Syrian refugees living in Jordan are unable to go back to Syria because of legal, economic, and administrative barriers, a new Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) report shows.

Today marks one year since the escalation of hostilities erupted across Lebanon in September 2024, following almost a year of violence on the southern border that began on October 8, 2023.

The leaders of over 20 major aid agencies working in Gaza are calling on world leaders to urgently intervene after a UN commission concluded, for the first time, that genocide is being committed.

Israel’s order to empty Gaza City threatens to trigger the largest single displacement since the hostilities began, warns the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC).
