Total disaster unfolding in Gaza
A situation we have feared for a long time is now a reality; the small remaining fuel reserves in Gaza are completely exhausted. Trucks have come to a halt, forklifts can’t unload goods, and no distribution of emergency aid takes place. This means that the already very limited aid that has entered Gaza in recent weeks is now totally prevented from reaching the people who so desperately need it. 2.3 million people are completely without access to vital assistance.

Norwegian People's Aid is gravely concerned about the level of violence in Israel and Palestine – civilians must be protected at all times
The escalation of violence in Israel and Palestine has caused unacceptable harm to civilians. Targeting civilians is always illegal, immoral and unacceptable. Norwegian People's Aid (NPA) calls for the immediate de-escalation and end of the hostilities. The use of weapons which inflict tremendous harm and the level of violence is appalling.
