Oxfam staff and partners are witnessing scenes that defy belief: families wasting away from hunger, malnourished children too weak to cry, and entire communities surviving without food or clean water.
“The situation in Gaza is dire and worsening by the day. For over two months, Israel has enforced an unprecedented total siege - blocking food, water, medicine, and aid. This has led to unimaginable suffering, with families and children facing starvation and severe malnutrition. The international community cannot allow this to continue.”
“Israel’s plan to militarise the delivery of humanitarian aid is a blatant violation of international humanitarian law that will jeopardise impartial aid delivery in all conflicts. It will lead to further chaos and suffering in Gaza. We must uphold the principles of humanitarian work and ensure aid is delivered safely to those desperately in need.”
“Oxfam staff and partners are witnessing scenes that defy belief: families wasting away from hunger, malnourished children too weak to cry, and entire communities surviving without food or clean water. In one displacement camp, only five of 500 families had any flour left to make bread. We distributed our last food parcels weeks ago.”
“Oxfam urges governments to demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire, an end to the siege, and unimpeded humanitarian access. We must hold Israel accountable for this man-made crisis, before it’s too late. There can never be justification for starving innocent people – especially children.”
