NORWAC

NORWAC (Norwegian Aid Committee) is a Norwegian non-governmental organization founded in 1983, and since 1994 organised as a foundation.[1][2]

The organisation is part of the Norwegian left-wing pro-Palestinian solidarity movement.[3] It has worked in support of Palestinians in the Palestinian territories and in Lebanon since its foundation. From 1999 to 2011 the organisation also worked in the Balkans, and it has worked in Syria since 2012.[2] The group has been profiled by the medical doctors Mads Gilbert and Erik Fosse (president of NORWAC) during the conflicts in Gaza.[4]
