For over a year and a half, the Israeli state has been bringing destruction in Gaza. Now that Israel has violated the ceasefire, there is even less hope for peace and security for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Once again, Palestinian civilians are forced to flee from war violence after having already left everything behind so many times before.
And this didn’t start after the terrorist attack on October 7, 2023. Due to the occupation and illegal blockade imposed by the Israeli government, Palestinians have been living in uncertainty and oppression for decades. The ceasefire allowed Oxfam Novib and other aid organizations to deliver more assistance to the area, and even now, with access completely blocked again by Israel, they continue to do what they can with the resources available. Meanwhile, Oxfam Novib and its partners are ready to provide much more aid.
In addition to humanitarian support, Oxfam Novib remains committed to a permanent ceasefire, justice, and a political solution that respects both Palestinians and Israelis. Together, we can keep the conversation alive and raise awareness. Will you join the conversation?
