Oxfam statement

"The Israeli military onslaught in southern Gaza is causing destruction, danger, and civilian terror and suffering at such a scale that makes any humanitarian response impossible across the entire enclave.The nightmare is unfolding in full view of the international community."

“Israel’s so-called safe zones within Gaza are a mirage: unprotected, not agreed or trusted, not provisioned, and not accessible."

During the past decade, the richest 1 percent had captured around half of all new wealth.

1% of people captured 2/3 of all wealth.
