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.
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.
Human Concern USA is committed to providing comprehensive winter relief to those in need. Our 2024 Winter Relief program focuses on the most vulnerable communities in six regions, including Gaza. Our initiatives include:
