#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! ❤️ tiktok.com/@oxfam/video/6…
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. #CancelTheDebtoxf.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. 💚
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
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.
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.
#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
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. oxf.am/31VM41o
You are powering Oxfam’s partner-led response in #Beirut, providing over 9,000 people with support ranging from emergency cash & food, medical services, mental health support, legal assistance and help to repair and rebuild homes and businesses. #ThankYou
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.
