🚨REACTION: "There are few crueller ways of killing people than by starvation... This is an intentionally-induced famine that could be ended in a matter of hours if the Israeli government were to give the order." Oxfam GB CEO Halima Begum says the confirmation of famine in Gaza city by the UN-backed food monitor is an "indictment of all humanity." Read the full statement below.👇

Oxfam colleague Meera is enduring unimaginable suffering as Israel continues to attack Gaza and restrict humanitarian aid. Her family, friends, and community urgently need a permanent ceasefire, unrestricted access to life-saving aid, and justice and accountability for Palestinians. 📣 SHARE this post to amplify Meera’s call for peace.

The UN-backed IPC has today confirmed there is famine in Gaza City. This is not the result of drought or crop failure, but of deliberate political choices. What’s needed now from the UK Government is not more words, but real action including: ⚠️ An immediate halt to arms sales ⚠️ Urgent pressure for a ceasefire and the release of all hostages ⚠️ A guarantee of unconditional, safe humanitarian access so aid can reach people in desperate need. We're taking your messages of solidarity to the Labour party conference in September, so MPs can't ignore how you feel. Pick up a free postcard from your local Oxfam shop. #RedLineForGaza

In the third of Oxfam’s #BeyondGDP series, feminist scholar Dr. Samia Al-Botmeh gives her take on the problems with a GDP growth-centric approach in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.   These include undervaluing of women’s unpaid care and domestic work, and the pursuit of austerity policies that harm women, non- binary people and racialized communities. She calls for approaches that take account of such harms and advance regional ideas of progress.

This #WorldHumanitarianDay we honour the extraordinary individuals who dedicate their lives to working on the front lines of crisis, providing humanitarian assistance to people and communities who need it most, no matter the cost. Last year, 377 humanitarian workers were killed in conflict situations across 20 countries. That is a record high. We continue to challenge the political landscapes which allow the violence to continue and commemorate all the people who have lost their lives doing humanitarian work. Today, we remember those who gave their lives, and we celebrate those who carry on their work. Thank you for standing with them 💚
