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

With hundreds of people killed and thousands injured, violence is expected to escalate in Israel and Palestine.

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

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