Time to End the Gaza Blockade - 9 years on

As the blockade imposed by Israel approaches its 9th anniversary, it continues to devastate the lives and livelihoods of 1.8 million Palestinians living in Gaza. More: oxf.am/gaza-crisis. This collective punishment keeps people poor, denies them their rights and fails to make Israel safer.

Oxfam calls on the international community to press the Government of Israel to immediately end this stifling blockade and to ease access into and out of Gaza, so the 1.8 million Palestinians living there can claim the basic human rights and freedom they deserve.
