‘Life in Gaza simply miserable’: Amid flooding, lack of aid, conditions ‘worsen’ for Palestinians

Erin Ogunkeye is pleased to welcome Shaina Low, Communication Adviser for the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC). Thirteen months into what she describes as a “so-called ceasefire,” the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to deepen, exposing the profound gap between diplomatic commitments and the lived realities of Palestinian civilians. In an interview with France 24, Shayna Low, communications adviser in Palestine for the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), describes a population confronting winter flooding, repeated displacement, deteriorating shelter conditions and persistent restrictions on humanitarian assistance. “Life in Gaza is simply miserable.” Low urges Israel to “open all the crossings, lift the restrictions, let aid in.”
