NRC is providing humanitarian assistance and promoting respect for international law in one of the longest-running displacement crises in modern history.
About 4.9 million Palestinians live under protracted occupation, which denies them basic human rights. In 2018, there was a sharp deterioration in the humanitarian situation in Palestine.
Poverty, unemployment and food insecurity have increased in Gaza, where people continue to face movement restrictions and severe limitations on access to essential services. There has also been a significant rise in Palestinian casualties as a result of the Great March of Return (GMR) demonstrations and the majority of Gaza’s 2 million people continue to rely on shrinking international aid.
