Don't Let Them Freeze

Last winter, storms tore through the camps in Gaza. Tents blew away or flooded, and children died from the cold.

A year on, a lot of those same families are still in tents, and the rain is starting again. Gaza isn't the only place. Up in northern Bangladesh the thermometer hit 6.7°C one night in January, and one district had 25,000 blankets when it needed something like 150,000. In Delhi, hundreds of homeless people died in a single winter. For plenty of refugee families in Jordan and Lebanon, the winter money stretches to food or fuel. Hardly ever both. This winter we're sending help to nine communities, from Gaza and Yemen to the Rohingya camps. We'd like to get there before the cold does.

Why Your Support Matters

Most of these families can't heat wherever they're living, and nobody has food put by for the cold months. Your money goes on the basics:

Blankets, coats and shoes, for the kids and the grown-ups.

  • •Blankets, coats and shoes, for the kids and the grown-ups.
  • •Hot meals, plus food parcels to see a family through.
  • •Heating fuel for refugee families in Jordan.
  • •Hygiene kits, because bugs spread fast in a packed camp once it turns cold.
  • •And in Gaza, tents for families who've lost everything.

Help Bring Warmth to Little Fingers

No one should face winter without warmth and basic necessities. Your kindness can bring warm light to the coldest nights for those who need it most. May Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ) bless you abundantly for your generosity. Ameen!

The Prophet ﷺ said:

"Save yourself from Hell-fire even by giving half a date-fruit in charity."

(Sahih al-Bukhari)

Give as little as you can. May Allah accept it from you, multiply your reward and keep you and your family warm. Ameen.
