Gaza crisis: Over a million people have been forced to flee Rafah and many are now facing the threat of starvation and disease, while Israel’s relentless bombardment and deliberate obstruction of the humanitarian response is making it virtually impossible for aid agencies to reach people. Oxfam is calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire to end the violence, allow crucial aid into Gaza and ensure the safe release of hostages. We are also calling for the UK to stop fuelling the crisis by selling arms to Israel. Oxfam has spokespeople in Gaza and receives frequent voice notes for media use. We also have spokespeople available in the region and the UK. Contact: Oxfam Media Unit / +44 (0)7748 761 999 / media.unit@oxfam.org.uk

Climate: People in countries that have done the least to cause the climate crisis are paying the highest price with extreme weather destroying people’s lives, homes and jobs. Oxfam is calling on the UK Government to make the biggest and richest polluters pay, to generate finance that can support communities most impacted by climate change as well as ending the era of fossil fuels in the UK.
