Norway Suspends Returns to Gaza Amid Security Concerns

Key Point 

• Norway has suspended forced returns to Gaza due to the deteriorating security situation 

Gaza Returns in Norway  

Norway has temporarily suspended all forced returns to Gaza, citing the worsening security conditions in the region. The decision was jointly announced by the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) and the Immigration Appeals Board (UNE). 

This suspension means that individuals who have received a final rejection on their asylum application and are originally from Gaza will not be returned there for the time being. The measure reflects Norway’s assessment that the current situation in Gaza poses significant risks to returnees. 

The government will continue to monitor developments closely and reassess the policy as conditions evolve. This update does not affect asylum application procedures but applies specifically to the enforcement of return decisions.
