Devastating flash floods have killed more than 300 people across Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Climate change is driving the rise in extreme and dangerous weather events. My thoughts are with all those affected by this tragedy. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

REACTION: Oxfam’s @halimabegum.bsky.social
says the High Court judgement on UK arms to Israel is "deeply disappointing" while the Government continues to prioritise the supply chains of fighter jets over the lives of Palestinians: oxfam.org.uk/mc/vvuq2x/
Another week of protest outside Parliament this morning as @oxfamgb and other organisations ask the UK Government: where is your Red Line on Gaza? Is it targeting children, or shooting hungry people getting aid, or killing healthcare workers - enough is enough.
#RedLineonGaza
I took a quiet walk in front of the Pyramid Stage before the crowds. Some examples of our campaign work at #Glastonbury2025 this week.

A great privilege to hear HE Prof Muhammad Yunus, Chief Advisor of Bangladesh, talking at @chathamhouse.org this morning. I took the opportunity to get an assurance from him that his interim government would push forward still further on women’s and gender rights. I will keep him to that!

Last week, @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social celebrated a remarkable 90-year birthday journey of storytelling. During my time at the @runnymedetrust.bsky.social we collaborated on the Lit in Colour project which has been groundbreaking in pushing for a more inclusive English literature curriculum.

Spending cuts are a political choice.
The government could choose to retain the aid budget and tax the super-rich instead. Because spending on aid isn’t charity. It’s about basic rights and justice for people living in life-threatening conditions.
Together, we can build a fairer, more equal world.
May Pope Francies rest in peace. A true humanitarian who stood up for social justice, peace and solidarity for all.

"Starvation, displacement and a war that does not appear to be ending."
@oxfamgb.bsky.social's CEO @halimabegum.bsky.social tells
@lbc.co.uk why the Government's new aid funding for #Sudan is welcome, but not enough.
We have launched our Myanmar Emergency Appeal. While international aid cuts haven't fully percolated through the system yet, this is still going to be a huge first test of humanitarian responses. Any support, no matter how small would be appreciated. Thank you so much. lnkd.in/eZHyH6qA

What a shameful failure of political will, international law and humanity the figure of 50,000 Palestinian dead represents. A substantial number women and children. Oxfam demands a ceasefire now.

Our amazing Oxfam book team at the Chelmsford shop received a 200-year-old first edition of the #Bible translated into #Chinese. Expecting to sell it for £400, it reached £56,000 at auction. Amazing! And these funds will of course be used to support our global humanitarian work 💚

Ramadan Mubarak!
@halimabegum.bsky.social shares why, for her, the importance of Zakat is paramount during this holy month of Ramadan.
In this time of global cuts to aid, those who have done the least are suffering the most. Join the cause and make a positive impact with your zakat: bit.ly/3FDAVZd
A principled decision to resign by @AnnelieseDodds. UK aid is set to be decimated. The implications will be literally devastating and the future for UK soft power looks bleak.

@halimabegum.bsky.social speaking to @lbc.co.uk on UK Government #aid cuts.
"I think most people would rather see wealthy #billionaires taxed, than see money being clawed back from children in #Sudan or children under rubble in #Gaza."

Any path to peace must be inclusive, consultative and sustainable. Oxfam calls for an end to the civilian suffering.

The US has just suspended new funding for all international aid and assistance except emergency food aid and military support to Egypt and Israel. No exemption for health and immunisation programs. Comment in this AP report from @oxfamamerica.bsky.social
