– It is not possible for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to verify the information as long as the war is ongoing. For reasons of confidentiality, we cannot comment further on the matter, says press officer Mathias Rongved in a short press release on Sunday afternoon. The representative of the immigrant council in Arendal, Josef Hæier, tells VG that they have information that someone from the local community is supposed to have been killed. Spokesperson for the Norwegian-Palestinian community in Norway, Rami Samanda, tells news that they have not been able to confirm the name of the person who has been killed. Demands that the government do more – It is incredibly sad news. It is not the first time a Norwegian citizen has been killed in Gaza and we are afraid it will not be the last, says Rami Samanda.

We have nobody to lose. Neither Norwegian citizens in Gaza nor anyone else. Last week it was confirmed that Norwegian Ghadah Hassan Abudaqah (48) was killed in an airstrike in the town of Khan Younis. The mother of two had traveled to Gaza to care for her sick father just days before the war broke out.
