"En regjering som hevder å stå for internasjonal solidaritet har kuttet flyktningkvoten med over 90 prosent i sin regjeringsperiode. Dette må Stortinget reversere." - @NRC_Egeland flyktninghjelpen.no/nyheter/2024/e…


Riktig som NHO sier, at vi må bedre samarbeid om å håndtere risiko i Afrikanske og andre markeder. Det gjelder ikke bare for næringsvirksomhet, men også når humanitære, utvikling og næringslivsaktører samarbeider om prosjekter. panoramanyheter.no/afrika-energi-…


Our condolences go out to our humanitarian colleagues in @wckitchen and families of the victims of the outrageous attack on humanitarian workers. These humanitarian workers killed while giving life saving help to people in deepest despair. #notatarget

World Central Kitchen is devastated to confirm seven members of our team have been killed in an IDF strike in Gaza. Read our full statement on the loss of our team members here: wck.org/news/gaza-team…

The clock is ticking fast towards famine in #Gaza 📍 @UNRWA is the backbone of the humanitarian response in the #GazaStrip, and yet our food convoys are prevented from reaching the north, where famine is imminent. Time is running out. Restrictions must be lifted now.

Thank you for the tremendous work you’ve done for people affected by crises across the world. You’ve stood up for vulnerable people in a principled way, with passion and credibility.

After 3 years on the job, I have informed @antonioguterres of my intention to step down in June. To everyone at @UNOCHA, it's been the privilege of my life. I am deeply in your debt. To all partners and supporters, thank you for championing the cause of people in crises.

We are delighted to welcome Kristin Skogen Lund to the NRC Board. With her broad & varied leadership experience @skogenlund will bring a wealth of skills to NRC, at a time when needs of people in crisis areas around the globe are at a record-high. flyktninghjelpen.no/nyheter/2024/k…


We're with the people of Gaza as they despair ahead of a potential Rafah military operation. 'Conditions in Rafah are already dire, and a full-scale Israeli military operation will lead to even more loss of civilian life.' nrc.no/news/2024/febr…


Næringslivsledere sier det som det er: ‘Overgår det meste vi har sett i vår tid’ - 100 dager. 26000 døde. 10400 døde barn. 152 døde FN ansatte. 119 døde journalister. ⁦@IsabelleRingnes⁩ ⁦@waagenilsen⁩ Kristin Bolstad Picard. e24.no/naeringsliv/i/…


Wonderful to see good colleagues doing such important work in the horrific circumstances in Gaza.

After so much efforts while we were displaced, proud of our work during this situation. today we open our office in Rafah southern Gaza Strip to have the ability to support more people who are in need. Thanks @NRC_Norway

While I share the concern over the very serious allegations against some @UNRWA staff, Norway has decided to continue its funding. UNRWA is a lifeline for millions of people in deep distress in Gaza as well as in the wider region. My statement: regjeringen.no/no/aktuelt/sta…


Nothing is respected. How long will the powers who support this war continue to fuel the carnage? Lessons learned on the killing fields of Solferino are thrown out window. Humanity cannot afford this. #genevaconventions bbc.com/news/world-mid…


Time for intl community to wake up about Sudan. In the shadow of Gaza and Ukraine, men with guns and power get away with murder in Sudan. The situation in Darfur is “dire by any metric” @IntlCrimCourt states. aje.io/2zspnp via @AJEnglish


Stand with the people in need in Gaza and “urge donor states to reaffirm support for the vital work that ⁦@UNRWA⁩ and its partners do to help Palestinians survive one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes of our times.” nrc.no/news/2024/janu…

The war in Sudan has now forced 500,000 people across the border to South Sudan, one of the poorest places on earth. We cannot look away while unspeakable violations are taking place in Sudan and neighbouring countries shoulder a burden they cannot bear. nrc.no/news/2024/janu…


500k people displaced to South Sudan since April 23. One of the poorest countries on earth, just out of years of war itself. And world is largely looking away. Authorities must give access to civilians in need and donors must fund generously to save lives. nrc.no/news/2024/janu…


A defunding of ⁦@UNWRA⁩ is nothing but another cruel blow to the people in Gaza with most needs. Terror must be condemned and people involved must be held accountable. But another collective punishment of Palestinians must be stopped! bbc.co.uk/news/world-mid…


Heia Magnus!! #ledelsen heier minst like mye på @torbae som sikrer romjulsfølelsen sammen med @jonasgahrstore @bollesamba @HeidiRoneid og @KajaSnare #nrksjakk
