Were deeply concerned about how coronavirus will affect people living through conflict, disaster and poverty. Oxfams humanitarian staff and partners are working hard to help stop the spread. Were providing vital support like handwashing facilities, clean water, toilets and soap in the most vulnerable communities.

Work like this has helped contain deadly disease outbreaks such as Ebola and cholera and it will protect people against this virus.

In some areas, we are also providing vital equipment to healthcare facilities and hospitals that urgently need support. And as ever, were helping people who are losing income or at greater risk of domestic abuse because of restrictions on movement. Supporting the world's poorest communities is more important than ever right now.

Its a difficult time for everyone but anything you can do to support can make a difference and save lives. Thank you.
