internally displaced people

Oxfam today called upon the Israeli government to compensate Palestinian villagers after the Israeli army demolished 79 structures in the village of Al Farisiya in the West Bank on Monday, forcing families into further impoverishment after years of harassment.

After the devastating earthquake in Haiti six months ago, many people have been left homeless and living in camps outside of Port au Prince. Oxfam is working in the camps to help provide clean water and latrines for the thousands of people living there.
With your support Oxfam is helping Haitians to rebuild their lives, but it's a long road -- please stay with us on the journey.
