Oxfam's reaction to the military attacks in Israel and the Gaza Strip

Hundreds of people have been killed and thousands injured, and violence is expected to escalate in Israel and Palestine.

Mustafa Tmaizi, Oxfam's Country Director in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel:

"Oxfam strongly urges all parties to immediately cease all military offensives and maintain restraint to prevent further escalation of the violence that only harms innocent civilians on both sides. "
