Ongoing
Gaza crisis: With the pause in hostilities, Israel is finally allowing an increased in much needed humanitarian assistance to reach people in Gaza, after 15 months of intense conflict. Oxfam and our local partners are responding, but the scale of need is massive, amongst the more than two million people in Gaza. The majority have lost their homes. Schools, hospitals, and crucial infrastructure have been destroyed. Oxfam is calling for a permanent ceasefire and for all parties to be held to account for any war crimes committed to ensure justice for the victims and to deter future violations. Oxfam is also calling for the UK Government to immediately suspend all remaining arms licences to Israel given the ongoing risk of IHL being further violated. Spokespeople available in Gaza, as well as the region and the UK. Contact: Oxfam Media Unit / +44 (0)7748 761 999 / media.unit@oxfam.org.uk
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC): Renewed fighting around Goma has led to an escalation of the humanitarian crisis, displacing hundreds of thousands of people who are now facing a lack of basic essentials. Despite the violence, closed roads and restricted access to camps for displaced people, Oxfam is providing water in several sites. Spokespeople available in the DRC. Contact: Zara Sarvarian / +44 (0)7584 265077 / zsarvarian1@oxfam.org.uk
Climate: While the super-rich continue to pollute at excessive rates, it is people living in poverty — in the UK and around the world — who have done the least to cause the climate crisis, who are suffering the most from its devastating impacts. Oxfam is calling on the Chancellor to increase taxes on climate-polluting extreme wealth – starting with private jets and superyachts. This could help ensure the much-needed finance to tackle the climate crisis is raised in a fair way that protects people on lower incomes and targets those most responsible and those who can most afford it.
