Winter 2024

It's Sweater Weather: Share the Warmth with Those in Need

Winter is a life-threatening season for vulnerable communities worldwide. Climate change and conflict worsen conditions, especially for those in inadequate shelters. Extreme cold, limited healthcare, disrupted food supplies, and water contamination create severe health risks. The psychological impact, particularly on children, is immense. Targeted winter relief is essential to improve safety, health, and resilience.

Critical Situations in Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, and Pakistan

Displaced communities in Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, and Pakistan face dire winter risks. In Gaza, 70% of housing is damaged, crippling medical and sanitation systems. Syria’s 16.7 million people needing aid and Lebanon’s 90% of newly displaced needing food and shelter highlight urgent needs. Insufficient housing and extreme poverty leave families unable to stay warm or healthy, with children, the elderly, and those with disabilities most at risk.
