Rights Respected, People Protected

The Norwegian Refugee Council is an independent humanitarian organisation helping people forced to flee. We work in crises in 31 countries, where we help save lives, rebuild futures and promote the rights of people who are displaced. We deliver high-quality aid where needs are greatest, in both new and protracted crises.


In Palestine, NRC provides humanitarian assistance and promotes respect for international law in one of the longest-running displacement crises in modern history. In the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza, NRC’s work includes emergency preparedness and response, education, ICLA, protection, shelter and WASH.

Project Background

NRC’s WASH programming in Gaza have provided comprehensive flood preparedness & response activities in more than 25 locations across the Gaza Strip. Our work supports communities who are vulnerable to seasonal flooding during the winter months, which causes direct damage to property, impedes access to public services, and contributes to environmental and health concerns due to the mixture of the flooding rain water with the open sewer system. One of the locations identified as a priority by the WASH cluster is Al Aqsa Street in Deir El Balah, Middle Area Governorate. The street is crucial as it is home to the main entrance to Al Aqsa hospital, which is the only hospital in central Gaza. The lack of storm water drainage infrastructure in the street causes storm/waste water flooding, leading to the closure of the street and blocking the entrance to the hospital. This project aims to address persistent flooding issues and contribute to efficient water usage through an integrated approach to storm water management combining flood prevention, agricultural reuse and groundwater recharge.

The purpose of the Shelter WASH Technical Assistant position is to provide administrative and technical support for the program. The Shelter WASH technical assistant is also a part of the rapid response mechanism under the new Emergency Preparedness and Response Programming.
