The
Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an independent humanitarian organisation
helping people forced to flee.

We protect displaced people and support them as they build a new future. We started our relief efforts after World War Two.
Today, we work in both new and protracted crises across 31 countries. We
specialise in six areas: food security, education, shelter, legal assistance,
camp management, and water, sanitation and hygiene.

We stand up for people forced to flee. NRC is a determined advocate
for displaced people. We promote and defend displaced people's rights and
dignity in local communities, with national governments and in the
international arena. NRC’s Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre in Geneva is
a global leader in monitoring, reporting on and advocating for people displaced
within their own country.


We respond quickly to emergencies. Our expert deployment capacity, NORCAP,
boasts around 1,000 experts from all over the world who can be deployed within
72 hours. Our experts help improve international and local ability to prevent,
prepare for, respond to and recover from crises.


Around 6,000 men and women work for the
Norwegian Refugee Council. Most of us are hired locally
to work in the field, and a small number are based at our head office in Oslo.
Many of our colleagues were once themselves fleeing their homes.








A seven-year-old child in Gaza has already witnessed three wars in their lifetime. This is unacceptable.”

Jan Egeland, NRC’s Secretary General

NRC has been active in Palestine since 2009, working across Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, to reach Palestinians who are displaced or who face imminent threats of displacement. Our offices in Jerusalem, Hebron and Gaza, provide legal counselling to promote access to human rights, shelter, water and sanitation, and quality education.  Nationally and globally, we advocate for the rights of displaced Palestinians and together with local authorities and community-based organisations, we establish mechanisms for monitoring the needs of displaced Palestinians, and promoting community-owned solutions.

We believe in Rights Respected & People Protected.
