NRC - Norwegian Refugee Council

NRC - Norwegian Refugee Council The Norwegian Refugee Council is an independent humanitarian organisation helping people forced to flee. We started our relief efforts after World War Two.

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. Today, we work in both new and protracted crises across over 40 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 global provider of expertise, NORCAP, boasts around 1,000 experts from all over the world. Our experts help improve international and local ability to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from crises. Around 16,000 people 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. Today, a record 114 million people are fleeing war and persecution. Not since World War Two have more people needed our help. The Norwegian Refugee Council assisted almost 10 million people worldwide in 2023, and with your support, we can help even more.

For 10 years, we have published a list of the 10 most neglected displacement crises around the world.

And every year, the premise has only grown more certain: Some crises are left behind not by circumstance, but by choice.

Communications adviser, Kassy Cho, explains why this year must be the turning point for the world to finally make the choice to not just pay attention, but to act.

“The fact that millions of displaced people are cast aside, year after year, without even basic support and resources, is in no way inevitable,” states our Secretary General, Jan Egeland.

Children are starving. Families are fleeing conflict. Millions of people have been forced from their homes. Yet crisis after crisis is met with too little attention, too little funding and too little action.

And it's happening right before our eyes.

Neglect is not an accident. It is a choice.

We analyse:

to find out what displacement crises are not receiving the attention they need. This is our analysis for the year 2025.

In countries highlighted, children are starving in a century that has the means to feed them. Millions across the globe are being abandoned, wilfully, because the world has chosen not to help, and not because it cannot.

The world is watching. Where is the turning point that forces action?

29.5 billion US dollars were missing in 2025 between the money needed to support people living in humanitarian crises and the money received.

29.5 billion. This is neglect.

Lebanon never had a true ceasefire. At best, it had a “less-fire”.

Now, with daily airstrikes, shelling, expanding evacuation orders and renewed threats against Beirut, the situation is again resembling what it was before the ceasefire.

Yesterday, NRC’s office in Tyre, South Lebanon, was heavily damaged by a nearby airstrike. This is not the first time it has been impacted during this escalation

As evacuation orders continue to expand, families are being forced to flee their homes without knowing where they can go, when it will be safe to return, or whether they will have a home to return to at all. Many remain displaced because of ongoing attacks and restrictions, while others who had returned are once again being forced to flee.

This is not what a real ceasefire looks like. People in Lebanon need safety, protection, and an end to the fear. All parties must respect international humanitarian law, including the principles of distinction, proportionality, and necessity.

Millions of Iranian civilians and Afghan refugees living in Iran have been severely affected by the conflict, and forced to flee their homes across the country.

Before the latest escalation in Lebanon, children attending non-formal education activities implemented by our partner Mouvement Social, sat in their classrooms and spoke about their dreams for the future.

Unfortunately, the centre that once offered them safety, routine, and hope was damaged in the hostilities and is no longer open.

Many children have been forced to flee themselves, losing not only their classrooms but also the sense of normalcy that learning can provide.

Their dreams should not be another casualty of conflict.
