What steps can be taken to improve living conditions in Gaza during the ceasefire?

Geopolitics
Gaza
Started July 25, 2026

Alison Sargent is pleased to welcome Shaina Low, Communications Advisor for the Norwegian Refugee Council's Palestine mission. Despite the reduction in large scale hostilities Low argues that Gaza remains trapped in a state of structural emergency, where humanitarian actors are prevented from moving beyond short term relief because of extensive restrictions on aid, construction materials, fuel, and operational access. She asserts that the central issue is no longer simply the scale of destruction, but the inability to reverse it despite the existence of a ceasefire
