A crisis on top of a crisis: millions of people in India and Bangladesh brace for #Amphan, the strongest cyclone ever recorded over the Bay of Bengal, just as #Coronavirus has reached the Cox's Bazar refugee camps: oxf.am/3g3WxwD Our teams are responding w/local partners Image
Estimates suggest up to 14.2m people in coastal districts are likely to be affected, with nearly 1.4 million displaced and up to 600,000 houses damaged in Bangladesh. Evacuation from high-risk areas is to begin today in Bangladesh, and is already underway in India. #CycloneAmphan Image
Working with our local partners, our India & Bangladesh teams are preparing life-saving assistance including safety equipment, clean water, sanitation, food and shelter for people in the path of super #CycloneAmphan - all taking into account the #coronavirus context. Image

#Brazil shines again, on the path to a fairer future! 🌿

Under Brazil’s leadership, @g20org just published a Ministerial Declaration on International Tax Cooperation.

Here is why it matters:
#G20 countries are home to nearly 4/5 of the world’s billionaires - and globally, billionaires have been paying next to nothing in taxes, legally.

This is how they do it:

vox.com/money/2024/3/1…
Not just that. While we struggle to pay energy bills, the richest 1% have amassed $42 trillion in new wealth over the past decade, nearly 34 times more than the entire bottom 50% of the world’s population.

75 years ago, @UN was founded to unite the world to confront the challenges facing all of humanity. With growing inequality, climate crisis, #COVID19, toxic nationalism, and ongoing conflict - it is clear that the promise of the UN remains as important as ever. #UN75
We celebrate the @UN #UN75. Its humanitarian efforts have saved lives, it has brokered and kept peace in conflict areas around the world, promoted #HumanRights, and created & championed an agenda for sustainable development. #PeaceDay #GlobalGoals Image
But @UN's promise remains unfulfilled. Globally, #WomensRights are being rolled back, women human rights defenders are under attack. 25 yrs since the Beijing Declaration, & 20 yrs since UNSC Res. 1325, govts aren't meeting commitments to #WomenPeaceSecurity & gender equality. Image

UPDATE: A small group of rich nations - representing just 13% of world population - have bought up MORE THAN HALF the supply of leading #COVID19 vaccine contenders.

Time for a #PeoplesVaccine - free for everyone, everywhere.

Access to a life-saving vaccine shouldn’t depend on where you live or how much money you have. ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏼

#COVID19: As we approach 30 million cases worldwide...

“We will never be able to produce a vaccine at the scale required until corporations share their knowledge free from patents. We need a #PeoplesVaccine, not a profit vaccine.” - @Anna_Marriott

BREAKING: #Coronavirus pandemic profits for companies soar by billions more as the world's poorest people pay price. 🚨

👉🏾👉🏿👉🏼 oxf.am/3iezJLl

#InequalityVirus Image
As the #COVID19 pandemic hits 6 months, close to a million people have lost their lives.

And the economic fallout has been devastating too: 400 million jobs lost & half a billion people expected to be pushed into poverty.

But not everyone is losing out.

oxf.am/cashing-in-on-… Image
Jeff Bezos could personally pay each of @amazon’s 876,000 employees a one-off bonus of more than $100,000 - and still be as wealthy as he was at the beginning of the pandemic.

BEIRUT: One month since the #BeirutBlast killed over 180 people, injured more than 6,500 and displaced some 300,000 residents... and still thousands of people simply can’t afford a front door.

#COVID19 #Inequality #Lebanon Image
In fact, a single front door in #Beirut currently costs 2 months’ worth of a minimum-wage salary...

Lebanon's longstanding inequality, massive inflation & now #COVID19 have compounded this humanitarian disaster.

Syria's people have suffered 10 devastating years of war. Now they face both spreading hunger & #COVID19.

Oxfam joins international agencies calling for global leaders at this week's #SyriaConf2020 to scale up lifesaving aid urgently.

A staggering 9.3 million Syrians are now going to sleep hungry and +2m more are at risk of a similar fate. #Covid19 restrictions, the collapse of the Syrian pound, and the displacement of millions of people are a disastrous combination.

#SyriaConf2020 must step up support now. Munzer*, 71, is a farmer. H...
“Bread has become a luxury we can’t afford."
- Najwa, Rural Damascus, Syria

Faced with war & #coronavirus, unless funding and humanitarian access are increased, many Syrians will be pushed to the brink of starvation.
