With Ebola cases continuing to rise in the DRC, and water shortages becoming increasingly severe, Oxfam has installed water tanks in Mongbwalu, one of the communities at the centre of the outbreak in Ituri province. www.oxfam.org.uk/media/press-...

Oxfam's Arie David speaks to Voices Radio about the (No More) Radio Silence campaign, bringing attention to hidden humanitarian crises from around the world.

"Oxfam field data has found that access to clean water in the epicentre of this outbreak is limited. It claims that sanitation and water systems, which it describes as the first lines of defence against the virus, are collapsing." www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-n...

Only one in five health facilities in Ituri, one of the epicentres of the Ebola outbreak in the DRC, has access to enough clean water, according to new Oxfam field data. Funding cuts and shortages of essential supplies are hampering the response. www.oxfam.org.uk/media/press-...

Oxfam’s humanitarian lead in the DRC, Robert Petron Messe, spoke to Sky this morning about how the aid cuts have affected the response to the Ebola outbreak in the country.

"Water – the absolute first line of defence in any public health emergency – is simply not available. Clean water costs $2 (£1.50) for 20 litres. For most families here, that is far beyond what they can afford." - Oxfam's Manel Rebordosa news.sky.com/story/ebola-...

Oxfam’s Humanitarian Lead in the DRC, Robert Petron Messe, told Sky News that the situation with the Ebola outbreak is alarming, but it’s still at a stage where decisive action can prevent a bigger crisis.

Oxfam Country Director in the DRC, Dr Manenji Mangundu told Sky News that the number of people infected with Ebola is much bigger than the reported cases. There is fighting and displacement in some areas which further contribute to the spread of the disease. Oxfam is working on the ground.

The response to the Ebola outbreak in DRC is critically under-resourced. Oxfam's DRC Country Director, Dr Manenji Mangundu, who is leading our response on the ground, told BBC World Service Radio that shortfalls in funding are crippling efforts to stop the virus spreading.

"It's extremely difficult… we don't see the same level of support from governments." Magnus Corfixen, Humanitarian Lead at Oxfam GB, on BBC World Service, speaking about the impact of aid cuts on communities, including in DRC where Oxfam is responding to the Ebola outbreak.

“We need to rethink how development is financed and delivered. This means radically reforming the global development system.” Oxfam GB CEO Richard Hawkes shares his thoughts on the future of development in the @the-independent.com www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

“When the funding was reduced, the resources shrank a lot, and this put people at high risk not only for Ebola but also cholera and mpox. It’s an emergency full of emergencies,” Oxfam’s DRC Country Director told Sky News speaking about the Ebola outbreak in the country.

Manenji Mangundu, the DRC country director at Oxfam, said the outbreak was “hitting a country already stretched to breaking point” due to ongoing conflict and years of aid cuts. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

“UK aid cuts also risk deepening global instability and inequalities. The govt must reverse the cuts and start taxing the super-rich and biggest polluters to help pay for the fight against poverty and inequality.” - Oxfam's Richard Hawkes www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

“Oxfam and its partners are mounting an emergency response in Ituri, providing clean water, sanitation and health awareness to affected communities. But this crisis is arriving at a moment of critically depleted humanitarian funding,” Dr. Manenji Mangundu, Oxfam in DRC oxfam.org.uk/mc/mbjsd6/

A 10-day ceasefire has been announced in Lebanon following weeks of violence. Whilst Oxfam welcomes the news it's warning that a short-term halt to hostilities will do little to address the scale of need or allow people to safely return and rebuild their lives. www.oxfam.org.uk/media/press-...

As Sudan’s gruelling conflict enters its fourth year, a record number of people have now been displaced by the world’s worst humanitarian and displacement crisis, accelerating hunger and suffering. www.oxfam.org.uk/media/press-...

The world must not look away. View the full scorecard ➡️ bit.ly/GazaScorecard

It fails on the plan’s own stated commitments for: Civilian Protection ❌ Aid Access ❌ Reconstruction & Economic Development ❌ Freedom of Movement & Return ❌

🟥 It’s been 6 months since the Gaza ceasefire plan. Along with 4 other humanitarian organisations we have released a scorecard assessing the progress. Bottomline: The ceasefire is failing.

Peace talks only successful if ceasefire encompasses the region, as Israel launches deadliest strikes yet on Lebanon. We share in the widespread relief that the world has avoided the atrocities President Trump threatened & the war between the US and Iran has paused while diplomatic talks commence.

"If we look at Lebanon right now, we're seeing constant bombardments... a first step is a halt to the hostilities and a ceasefire." - Oxfam's Magnus Corfixen on Islam Channel.

The UK prime minister must use all diplomatic tools at his disposal to uphold international law. The extreme impunity on display by President Trump cannot go unchallenged. Leaders must protect civilians & prevent dangerous escalation. Not stay silent in the face of abhorrent violence and impunity.
