#Coronavirus has already cost hundreds of thousands of lives and could force half a billion people into poverty. We're working tirelessly to prevent the spread of the virus, and pushing governments to do their part. An update on our #COVID19 response 👉🏾 oxf.am/2Yq9TeM

Together, we have reached over 4.5m people so far in our #COVID19 humanitarian response. We aim to reach 14m people by raising €100m. Thank you to everyone supporting this effort! ❤️

We have forged partnerships with 344 local civil society organizations across more than 60 countries - a network that's part of the fabric of how local communities themselves are responding in their own contexts, helping each other to adapt & survive. oxf.am/30HvFNw

We aim to reach the most vulnerable because daily they face #poverty and systemic inequalities, including gender inequality, injustices, conflict & marginalization – all of which the #coronavirus crisis threatens to deepen and worsen in so many ways. oxf.am/35PSLCa

Our #COVID19 humanitarian response is active in complex & fragile environments too, including in areas of conflict, in refugee and displacement camps, and with migrants and people already suffering from hunger and the #ClimateCrisis.

Our goal: support people in the communities where they live, helping them to bolster their #resilience, develop their own strategies & resources, & lead their own #COVID19 recoveries. Our network aims to reinforce the agency of the people we serve to help. oxf.am/2BXEEQt

Oxfam brings decades of humanitarian experience into our #COVID19 response including lessons (like from Ebola oxf.am/37mIwWZ) and #innovation from our work in other epidemics and crises, like the water ATM 👇🏾

We are campaigning and amplifying people’s voices for justice. From the start of our #coronavirus response, we've worked to change the policies and behaviors of those in positions of political & economic power, so that no-one is left behind. #CancelTheDebt oxf.am/cancel-the-debt

We have a long road ahead, but no-one is safe until everyone is safe.

To beat this pandemic we need to act together in every country, for every person.

Your contribution can make a world of difference. 💚
