I grieve every day for colleagues, partners, and the people of Gaza, whose courage is met with violence and deprivation.

Humanitarians must be allowed to do our jobs of saving lives without fear of attack. #CeasefireNow

The United States, above all, must use its influence to:

- Demand a ceasefire
- Make certain the siege is lifted to allow critical aid into Gaza
- Demand the release of all hostages and unlawfully detained prisoners
- Ensure aid workers can carry out their vital work in safety

Two years is far too long. The world cannot look away.

Famine is a man-made reality in Gaza.

The healthcare system is shattered.

Families are enduring unimaginable loss.

The humanitarian situation has never been more dire.

65,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, most of them women and children.

Two million have been displaced, many multiple times.

Through an unrelenting campaign of bombardment, siege, and starvation, Israel has inflicted deliberate harm on civilians and destroyed the very fabric of life in Gaza.

This amounts to collective punishment on a mass scale.

Momentum is gaining globally and locally, with the passage of laws in NY and Vermont to make fossil fuel corporations pay.

President Trump continues to fuel chaos & inequality instead of working with the global community for meaningful solutions. The world is watching.

We know cooperation saves lives. We will continue to demand justice, peace & human dignity for all. #TheFutureIsEqual #UNGA80

Nonprofits play a vital role in supporting communities, strengthening democracy, and defending rights. We must stand together against violence and unite for a free, safe society. www.oxfamamerica.org/press/press-...

We must also reject efforts to exploit tragedy as a tool to divide us or to undermine nonprofit organizations that serve the public good.

The humanitarian system is under immense strain, but our commitment is unshakable.

World Humanitarian Day reminds us: the fight for equality is the fight for dignity, safety, and justice for the most vulnerable communities worldwide.
