Distributing food and clean water to families in Gaza

Oxfam and our partners have continued to deliver life-saving support in Gaza, despite Israel's systematic obstruction of aid, blocked supplies, and punitive registration requirements.

Our local teams and partners are waiting for more safe routes to open and are ready to respond at scale.

Oxfam and its partners have worked under unimaginable conditions to deliver life-saving aid in Gaza.

Despite the siege and bombardment, we're still delivering life-saving support. In the latest stage of our response, we’ve been able to:

• distribute food vouchers to over 2,000 families
• truck clean water to communities in the North and South and
• support the operation of water wells and hygiene services.

Our teams have reached over 800,000 people with access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene since the war began.

We have continued to provide protection services and cash assistance to the most vulnerable, especially women and children. But these efforts, while vital, have been a fraction of what is needed and what we are capable of delivering.

True justice and lasting peace will not be possible without addressing the root cause of this conflict – Israel's ongoing oppression of Palestinians.

There must be an end to the blockade of Gaza, and to the occupation of Palestinian territory – Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The ICJ has ruled Israel's ongoing occupation as illegal.

Our hope is for all Palestinians and Israelis to live in freedom, with dignity, self-determination, and full and equal civil and political rights.

Despite a ceasefire being declared, violence and suffering have continued, and civilians remain at risk.

We demand:

• a permanent ceasefire that is respected by all parties
• unrestricted access to humanitarian aid
• an end to arms sales to Israel
• accountability under international law
• a lasting and just peace – ending oppression, the Gaza blockade and the illegal occupation so all Palestinians and Israelis can live in freedom, with dignity and equal rights.

This Ramadan, embody the spirit of collective generosity and honour your Amanah by joining Oxfam in partnering with communities across the world.
