Norman is quoted in German-language outlet Taz on funding cuts to UNRWA, the United Nations agency responsible for aiding Palestinian refugees.
On March 2, Rice University’s School of Social Sciences Master of Global Affairs Program will host the 2024 NASPAA Student Simulation Competition. “I am very glad to see that this year’s topic is forced displacement, which is both a politically difficult subject and one that greatly affects real people’s lives,” Norman said.
Palestinian-Americans in Houston are working to get their families out of Gaza, but options remain limited. “Individuals have just exhausted all other possible avenues,” including lobbying the U.S. government to have their names added to the exit list, said Norman.
Displacement is all too familiar to Palestinians. Today, there are about 6 million Palestinian refugees scattered across three countries, the West Bank and the besieged Gaza Strip. “I think up until this current conflict, it has kind of been a forgotten issue,” said Norman. “It’s seen as this just unresolvable displacement, ongoing for multiple generations without an end in sight.”
