Australia will donate part of their match fees from a World Cup 2026 qualifier against Palestine in Kuwait City on Tuesday towards humanitarian efforts in Gaza.
Well intentioned but this sort of helps muddy the waters on the fact that Oxfam currently has no ability to restore any of the aid they normally provide exactly because of the invasion post October 7th attacks by Hamas.
This weirdly glosses over the whole situation and the fact that nothing is currently getting in or out of Gaza, the entire strip is under heavy military siege, that the entire area has had no electricity, water, internet, cellular for weeks, and is currently being invaded by ground forces and bombed hourly.
From reading their statement you’d never get that reality, you’d think Oxfam is going to drive a truck full of supplies into Gaza with Jackson Irvine handing out oat milk lattes to kids.
