The Leaders of the top eight economies in the world came to the G8 Summit in Deauville, France this year with a lot of explaining to do. Oxfam was there.
A million refugees urgently need shelter, food and water
2011 G8 Summit in Deauville, France
The G8 leaders made a promise to the world’s poorest people to halve poverty by 2015 and to put people first. With only four years to go on that commitment, the G8 must enact an emergency plan to deliver the aid they have promised, and invest in reducing hunger, health and education and take action to stop rich companies avoiding taxes in poor countries.

Lives lost in Syria
Written by Camilla Jelbart Mosse, Oxfam's Humanitarian Campaign ManagerAs G8 leaders meet on Syria, the stakes couldn’t be higher for those caught in the crossfire.“My family lost our home and many loved ones. We’d go for days without being able to raise our heads to buy water and bread as it wasn’t safe, so we had to leave Syria. We just want to go home.”
Final countdown to the G8 Summit
Written by Adam Musgrave, Oxfam's Senior Global Campaigner. Today, I’m packing my bags and heading off to Enniskillen in Northern Ireland for the G8 Summit.
Return on Investment: What have we gained from the New Alliance?
At its inception, Oxfam was critical of the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition in Africa. Eric Muñoz of Oxfam America has been on a fact-finding mission to New Alliance countries and explains below that serious concerns remain.
Warming up for the G8
There's enough food in the world to feed everyone. So why does one person in every eight still go to bed hungry? This month, eight people will meet in Northern Ireland - and they can start to answer this one question.
Will the UK re-set the bar at next year’s G8 Summit?

Lives lost in Syria
As the G8 leaders meet in Northern Ireland, Oxfam put rows of white gravestones in the middle of Belfast City. The gravestones highlighted the fact that 93,000 people have died so far as a result of the crisis. G8 leaders must act now!

G8 Leaders cook it up!
G8 leaders (well, our Big Head versions) cook it up in Belfast - trying to crack the recipe that'll end world hunger. The G8 will meet in Northern Ireland on June 17& 18.
Oxfam is calling on G8 leaders to do all they can to put us on a path that will end the scandal of global hunger. Specifically, G8 leaders must tackle two of the big drivers of hunger; tax dodging and land grabs.
Join us in asking the G8 to put a stop to a tax system that allows rich companies and individuals to avoid paying their fair share in tax, while the world’s poorest struggle to make a living. Governments are letting people hide at least $18.5 trillion in offshore tax havens. Yes, you read that right - 18.5 trillion.
Call on the G8 to tackle the land grabs that rob the world’s poorest of their homes and the land they need for food and shelter. Big land deals are tearing whole communities apart.
