Oxfam calls for post-Ebola Marshall Plan
A multi-million dollar post-Ebola “Marshall Plan” is needed to put the three West Africa countries hit by the crisis back on their feet. The world cannot dither on a recovery plan as it did on the Ebola response. Key to the success of any recovery package will be addressing three areas of acute need: immediate cash to millions of families affected by the crisis; investment in jobs; and budget support for essential services such as health, education, water and sanitation.
Yemen is on the brink of humanitarian disaster with millions of lives at risk
More than half of Yemen’s population needs aid and a humanitarian crisis of extreme proportions is at risk of unfolding in the country if instability continues, Oxfam warns today. Throughout the country there are 16 million people in need of aid, meaning one in three people needing help in the entire Middle East is Yemeni. Ten million Yemenis do not have enough to eat, including 850,000 acutely malnourished children. Millions have no clean water and are unable to access basic healthcare services.
