May 29, 2025 (Oxfam International (via LinkedIn)) –
Oxfam International posted 6 LinkedIn updates from May 22 to May 29, 2025. The organization's posts covered a range of topics, including humanitarian crises, social initiatives, and partnerships. Let's explore the key areas of focus for Oxfam during this period.
Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza
Oxfam International shared critical updates on the dire situation in Gaza, highlighting the systematic displacement of Palestinians and the deliberate creation of a humanitarian crisis. According to their analysis, Israel has issued nearly one displacement order every two days since breaking the ceasefire, forcing people into less than a fifth of the Gaza Strip. The organization reports that 68 out of 79 neighborhoods are affected, with over 80% of Gaza now covered by military 'no-go' zones. This has resulted in 2.2 million people being forced into areas without access to food, water, shelter, or safety.
Mahmoud, Oxfam's Food Security and Livelihoods Coordinator, described the situation as "scenes that defy belief," with families wasting away from hunger, malnourished children too weak to cry, and entire communities surviving without food or clean water. Oxfam emphasizes that Gaza's starvation is not incidental but deliberate and entirely engineered, creating the largest population facing starvation anywhere in the world. The organization is urgently calling for a permanent ceasefire and unrestricted aid access to address this humanitarian catastrophe.

Climate and Gender Justice Initiatives
Oxfam is actively promoting initiatives that combine climate action with gender justice. The organization shared a post highlighting five ways to support enterprises that drive both climate and gender justice. They emphasize that women are already leading innovations in clean energy, sustainable agriculture, and climate adaptation. Oxfam is encouraging support for these enterprises to ensure that climate-friendly businesses also boost gender equality.
This approach demonstrates Oxfam's commitment to addressing intersectional issues, recognizing that environmental challenges and gender inequality are often interconnected. By promoting women-led climate initiatives, Oxfam aims to create more sustainable and equitable solutions to global challenges.
