We turned up, listened, talked, shared, campaigned for justice. We won’t stop. Foreign Secretary, Ed Miliband, you are right. People power works.💚 The global movement for accountability and peace is making progress but Palestine continues to suffer under violent occupation from Israeli authorities.

Women in Yemen are facing a 'triple threat' of military escalations, aid cuts, and intensifying climate shocks. Our team in Yemen spoke to The Independent about the need to de-escalate tensions and urgently restore and sustain vital aid to the country.⬇️

"The international community must support efforts towards a peaceful solution and use its influence to de-escalate tensions and urgently restore and sustain vital aid to the country. Recent aid cuts have devastated lives." Ferran Puig, Country Director, Oxfam Yemen.

One year after its agreement, the ceasefire in Gaza is in name only. The genocide and suffering continues, with Israeli forces killing and injuring Palestinians daily, and ongoing blocks to the entry of lifesaving aid, medical supplies and other vital repair equipment and building materials.

This #BlackHistoryMonth is a reminder: poverty doesn't happen by chance. Anti-Blackness, racism that specifically impacts black people, helps drive the inequality that holds people back.

We can’t fight poverty without fighting anti-Black racism.
When people choose to believe some lives matter more than others, inequality thrives. We can make better choices - and build better futures.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham says the UK must fully commit to reaching net zero by 2050 ahead of upcoming announcements on new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. Read Oxfam GB's Climate Justice Advisor, Beth John's, reaction ➡️

Text says: "Andy Burnham is right to recognise that the climate crisis is not a distant threat, and to reaffirm Labour’s manifesto commitment to reaching net zero by 2050.

But without action to back this up, these words mean little. The Prime Minister currently faces a critical choice about whether or not he approves drilling at Rosebank and Jackdaw projects in the North Sea."

Text says: "The science is clear: there is no room for new oil and gas projects in an overheating world. Not only would approving Rosebank and Jackdaw undermine the Prime Minister’s support of net zero, it would lock the UK into decades of additional emissions that will disproportionately affect communities across the world already experiencing extreme heat, drought and other climate impacts. Beth John,
Oxfam GB Climate Justice Advisor"

Over 51% of us regret at least one new clothes purchase from the last year. If the water used to make those clothes was saved, it would be enough to supply all of humanity with drinking water for 10 days. With the climate crisis intensifying - that would make a huge difference.

Text says: 'the water used to make new clothes we regret buying could have provided 10 days of drinking water for all of humanity.' Picture in background of tap with flowing water.
