OsloMet condemns the acts of war
Rector Christen Krogh strongly condemns the attacks on civilians in Palestine. OsloMet provides support services for students and staff affected by the war in the Middle East.
"It is heartbreaking to witness the horrifying acts of war unfolding in Palestine. The losses and sufferings are immense, and we condemn the state of Israel's attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure. There are no excuses for the abuses we are witnessing. These are by no means proportionate reactions to the attacks by Hamas in Israel, which we also condemn.", says rector at OsloMet, Christen Krogh.
"We must achieve an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.", says Krogh.
"Many of our students and employees are struggling. Some may have lost family members, friends, and colleagues in their home country or fear for their lives. It is important that we see each other and take good care of those who are currently facing extra difficulties. The university provides support services for those in need of someone to talk to.", says Krogh.
