After 15 months of a war on Gaza, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are returning to find what remains of their homes. No one knows if the ceasefire will hold. Now is not the time for world leaders to remain silent. The UK Government must demand a permanent ceasefire. It must demand the free-flow of life-saving aid into Gaza. It must advocate for accountability, and justice for Palestinians. Sign our petition: bit.ly/45zXIMS Donate to the Gaza appeal: bit.ly/Gaza-Lebanon_Appeal

WATCH: Oxfam GB’s Chief Executive Halima Begum reflects on the interim ceasefire and the urgent humanitarian needs in Gaza. DONATE to the Gaza / Lebanon appeal: bit.ly/Gaza-Lebanon_Appeal

One year on from the first International Court of Justice (ICJ) measure, our survey and report lays it clear: over the past year no meaningful actions to address Gaza's dire humanitarian conditions were observed, allowing the crisis to spiral further in blatant violation of the provisional measures.   The recently agreed ceasefire is a vital step to halt the immediate violence and enable humanitarian assistance, but it does not resolve the broader risks or erase past violations.  We will continue to hold Israel authorities to account and to ensure humanitarian aid is delivered safely and at scale, and that work progresses on ensuring a permanent ceasefire. #DoNotNormalise Read more, Press Release: bit.ly/3Cn11hX
