Gaza

Oxfam and 240 organisations call for immediate action to end the deadly Israeli distribution scheme (including the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation) in Gaza, revert to the existing UN-led coordination mechanisms, and lift the Israeli government’s blockade on aid and commercial supplies. 

A new Oxfam analysis found that since breaking the ceasefire on March 18, Israel has issued over 30 forced displacement orders.  Combined with deliberate deprivation, this reveals a strategy of dismantling and erasing Gaza itself.

Restoring ceasefire deal vital as death toll hits 50,000 and continues to rise amid Israeli airstrikes.

Israel's decision is a reckless act of collective punishment, explicitly prohibited under international humanitarian law.

The resumption of aid into Gaza, including fuel to operate undamaged water and sanitation systems along with water trucking, has improved the amount of water available to people in some parts of Gaza. But the picture remains extremely bleak and dangerously critical, especially in the North Gaza and Rafah governorates, warned Oxfam today. 

A new survey of 35 aid agencies working in Gaza found that Israel failed to improve humanitarian access over the last year.

On the deadline for compliance to the US Secretary of Defense letter demanding Israel to provide concrete measures to reverse the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Gaza, today, Tuesday, November 12, Oxfam and seven humanitarian organizations have released a scorecard assessing progress against these measures over the past 30 days, concluding that Israel has failed to comply with its ally’s demands – at enormous human cost for Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

Between 7,000 to as many as 21,000 people are likely dying each day from hunger in countries impacted by conflict, according to a new Oxfam report published on World Food Day.

The Israeli forces’ assault on Gaza has escalated to a horrifying level of atrocity. Northern Gaza is being wiped off the map. Under the guise of “evacuation,” Israeli forces have ordered the forced displacement of an estimated 400,000 Palestinians trapped in northern Gaza, including Gaza City. This is not an evacuation—this is forced displacement under gunfire.
