A new Oxfam joint report shows that Maersk has been transporting key weapon parts to Israel since October 2023, despite claims to the contrary. 

Israel’s intent to displace around 1 million civilians, half of whom are living in famine, is impossible and illegal Oxfam said today, while the Israeli military continued to flatten Gaza City building by building as its mass forced displacement of civilians in the city gains terrifying momentum.

Under the new provisions, INGOs already registered in Israel may face de-registration, while new applicants risk rejection.

Response to the alert issued last night, by the IPC’s Famine Review Committee, which warned of imminent famine in northern Gaza.

Reaction to the Knesset passing bills banning UNRWA from operating in areas under Israel’s control.

Oxfam is gravely concerned for the lives of around 500,000 Palestinians, alongside any of the more than 200 Israeli and other national hostages, currently trapped in a “siege within a siege” in northern Gaza.  

Starvation is being used as a weapon of war against Gaza civilians, Oxfam said today as it renewed its call for food, water, fuel and other essentials to be allowed to enter.  

Shane Stevenson, Oxfam Country Director for the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel said:   

“Finally, for the first of 12 consecutive nights, two million Palestinians in Gaza, including hundreds of thousands of traumatized children, can rest rather than lie awake in fear as bombs fly over their homes.  And civilians across Israel will be spared the threat of rocket attacks.  

With a new US-led peace initiative looming, it is critical to look back over the last 26 years and the legacy of the Oslo Accords to bring insight and understanding and to learn vital lessons from the past.

Oxfam in Lebanon undertook a self-reported digital needs assessment (DNA) to generate an intersectional, and evidence-based understanding of multi-sectoral needs of people affected by the war.
