Families struggle even more in the midst of winter’s plummeting temperatures and harsh weather. They face a struggle to feed themselves, a struggle to keep warm, a struggle to keep safe, and a struggle to survive.

Families fight to survive cold weather

In Gaza, as the fragile ceasefire holds, most people are still living in makeshift shelters and tents, exposed to the elements and without access to sufficient food or heat. In Afghanistan, where half the population is in need of humanitarian assistance, temperatures can drop as low as -25°C. Sub-zero temperatures bring misery to the many families living in rundown homes in Kosova, where millions of people require medical assistance.

Winter season survival essentials

As the winter months approach, Islamic Relief is once again preparing to deliver essential items to families on the edge of survival.

Last winter, Islamic Relief reached over 470,800 people with essential items to ease their burdens over the colder months. These include:

– Food parcels

– Blankets

– Thermal clothes

– Firewood and heating materials

– Wood stoves

– Tarpaulins

– Mattresses

Our teams on the ground have witnessed first-hand the power of your support: bringing respite, dignity, and a smile to the faces of children, grandparents, and others that are suffering around the world.

This winter, the need is greater than ever but together, we can help vulnerable families survive the wild weather. Give warmth. Save lives.

help vulnerable families survive this season: give generously to our Winter Appeal.
