Oxfam in Africa

The strongest response starts with people. In eastern #DRC, where #Ebola is spreading, local leaders, youth & communities are taking the lead to protect one another. Oxfam is working alongside to support prevention, raise awareness & strengthen community-led action ⬇ @oxfaminternational.bsky.social

From Eastern #DRCongo, our health safety and security advisor shares what he witnesses on the ground. Families are facing the combined impacts of the #Ebola outbreak, insecurity & limited access to healthcare. Yet, communities continue to support one another ⬇ @oxfaminternational.bsky.social

Oxfam in DRC's emergency response team travelled to Bunia, Eastern #DRC to support efforts to contain the #Ebola outbreak. With local airports closed, the only way in is through long and rough roads, turning what should be a short emergency deployment into a difficult journey. ⬇

The World Health Organization has declared #Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of #Congo, a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Oxfam & other aid agencies are mounting a response but this crisis is unfolding at a time when resources are critically low

4 years into #Sudan’s conflict, hear how Sudanese refugees in #Renk, South Sudan, survive by skipping meals and selling what little they have, while water stays out of reach. Aid must be sustained. Solidarity must be louder. @oxfaminternational.bsky.social

The #IMF recommends progressive tax policies to wealthy countries, but promotes more regressive approaches elsewhere. So people already struggling with rising prices end up paying more, while the richest are barely taxed. Real change starts by taxing those who can afford it.

In northern #Kenya, the lack of rain is triggering a food & water emergency. Animals are dying, crops are failing & families are losing their main sources of food and income. ⬇

Evacuation orders in Akobo East, #SouthSudan forced tens of thousands, including all aid workers, to flee. Critical aid for 200,000+ people has now stopped, worsening already catastrophic conditions. More here ➡ africa.oxfam.org/latest/press...

Failed rains across the Horn of Africa are pushing millions deeper into hunger. In Somalia, the number of people facing #hunger has nearly doubled since early 2025 ➡ africa.oxfam.org/latest/press...

Communities across East Africa are facing a severe drought they did little to cause. Failed rainy seasons have destroyed crops, leaving millions in #Kenya and across the region struggling to find food and increasingly relying on humanitarian assistance ⬇ @oxfaminternational.bsky.social

"An artillery shell hit my house, killing my nursing infant." Amid the conflict in #Sudan, Aluel fled to #SouthSudan seeking safety. Now, in the Renk transit centre, survival grows harder as life‑saving aid remains suspended ➡ africa.oxfam.org/latest/press...

#SouthSudan For @aljazeera.com , Shabnam Baloch, Country Director for Oxfam in South Sudan, reflects on the growing pressure on host communities as daily refugee arrivals hit 1 000. Humanitarian aid is rapidly declining despite urgent needs ⬇

Severe flooding after weeks of heavy rain is affecting communities across parts of #Mozambique with Gaza province being the most affected. Families have lost their homes, livestock & livelihoods. Oxfam & partners are on the ground assessing the situation. Urgent support is crucial

Our new report finds that billionaire fortunes grew 3 times faster in 2025 to highest peak ever. This concentration of wealth is reshaping democracy. Billionaire money changes who gets heard, who decides & who gets left behind ➡ africa.oxfam.org/latest/publi... #TaxTheSuperRich #WEF26

A fairer, more sustainable future is possible but only if the biggest polluters, who’ve fuelled this crisis while growing richer, finally pay for the damage they’ve caused and support the communities on the frontlines to survive, rebuild, and thrive. #COP30 #MakeRichPollutersPay

Aid cuts since the start of 2025 have pushed the humanitarian response in #DRC to the brink of failure. More than 35,000 suspected cholera cases & at least 852 deaths have been reported. This is not the time to cutback lifesaving aid, it is a critical time to #ActForHumanity#CourageInCrisis #WHD2025
