[said:]: Negotiators have resuscitated the UN talks and put them on a road to recovery. This deal shows the UN negotiations can deliver. There is now hope for action to help the millions of poor people who are already struggling to survive the effects of climate change.

oxfam 11-DEC-10

[said:]: Cancun can still be the turning point away from the disappointment of Copenhagen. But brinkmanship, delay and rumor amounts to a game of Russian Roulette, which will only lead to millions of poor people already affected by climate change being the biggest losers.

[ said]: The food crisis has not gone away - -925 million hungry people is still a scandal,

ipsnews 20-SEP-10

[ said]: Tackling hunger must be part of a broader MDG package. We cannot ask a mother to decide between feeding and educating her child. We cannot afford to miss a single Millennium Development Goal,

allafrica 14-SEP-10

[ added]: The dip in the number of hungry people has more to do with luck then judgement. Another global food crisis could explode at any time unless governments tackle the underlying causes of hunger, including food price volatility, decades of under investment in agriculture, and climate change,

allafrica 14-SEP-10

[ said]: It's been ten years since world leaders vowed to halve global hunger by 2015 but we are no closer towards achieving this goal. We know it is possible. We have the recipe for doing it. The only missing ingredient is the political will. When world leaders get together in New York they must put their weight behind a global action plan that will bring all countries together to tackle hunger,

[ said]: The blockade has unleashed a tragic chain reaction that has affected many of Gaza’s one and a half million residents. When a factory is forced to shut down because it can’t import or export, it doesn’t just affect the employees who lose their jobs. Entire families relying on that salary also lose out, becoming dependent on humanitarian aid

oxfam 14-JUN-10

[ said]: In recent months, and in the days following the flotilla tragedy, Israel has allowed in an increased number of food items such as coriander, jam, biscuits and other sweets. While this is certainly welcomed, what Gaza needs most are jobs, raw materials for reconstruction and for industry, and the ability to export not just short-term aid and consumer products like jam that, without a job, they can’t afford to buy,

[-added]: What they need now is a full opening of the crossings, which are secure and can be monitored by Israel and the international community if the will is there. Politicians created the blockade of Gaza and politicians can put an end to it now,

oxfam 14-JUN-10

[ said]: Tragedy struck as the international community failed to put enough pressure on Israel to put an end to the policy of blockade, this flotilla would not have been needed, had the Israeli blockade not debilitated Gaza’s economy and prevented desperately needed humanitarian supplies from entering the territory

wafa 09-JUN-10

oxfam 02-JUN-10

oxfam 02-JUN-10

[-added]: The Israeli operation appears to have violated a number of basic rules of International Law. This comes on top of the blockade that inflicts collective punishment on the population, which is illegal under International Humanitarian Law,

oxfam 02-JUN-10

[-said]: Considering that the detailed facts of the situation remain unclear, Oxfam calls for a full and independent inquiry to ascertain what took place and ensure accountability,

oxfam 02-JUN-10

[ added]: At a moment when the European Union is aiming to build strong, unified foreign policy, Lady Ashton must bring a clear message to her Quartet counterparts in Moscow and to EU Foreign Ministers that the blockade must not be allowed to continue for a third year. This will be a step towards reaching a sustainable, just and secure peace in the Middle East

antiguanews 25-JAN-10

World powers have also failed and even betrayed Gaza's ordinary citizens.
