Winter is arriving, but for families in Gaza and Yemen, the crisis doesn’t paused. Cold nights, unsafe shelters, and shrinking food supplies make each day harder to survive. As temperatures fall, emergency relief becomes more than charity; it becomes a lifeline. 

Your support through emergency appeals ensures that families facing conflict, hunger, and displacement receive life-saving aid exactly when they need it most. 

 

Emergency appeals provide fast, life-saving support to families in crisis by delivering food, clean water, winter essentials, and medical aid when conflict and cold weather make survival difficult. In Gaza and Yemen, your emergency charity reaches displaced families quickly through trusted partners, ensuring they receive urgent relief throughout the harsh winter months. 

 

What Makes an Emergency Appeal Different? 

An emergency appeal delivers direct, rapid support to families who can no longer meet their basic needs. Unlike long-term development programs, emergency aid focuses on survival. 

For Gaza and Yemen, this includes: 

• Emergency food parcels when markets collapse 

• Hot meals for displaced families 

• Clean water where infrastructure is damaged 

• Winter blankets, clothing, and heating essentials 

• Medical and hygiene supplies in overwhelmed communities 

These interventions reach families who are most at risk: children, widows, and the elderly.

Winter Makes Crisis Zones Even More Dangerous 

Gaza: Displacement Meets Freezing Temperatures 

Families in Gaza are struggling through: 

• Makeshift shelters with thin plastic roofs 

• Limited access to heating 

• Shortages of food and clean water 

• Children sleeping without adequate winter clothing 

Cold weather deepens every hardship for displaced families already fleeing conflict.

Yemen: Hunger Intensifies in the Cold 

Winter in Yemen increases: 

• Child malnutrition 

• Respiratory illnesses 

• Food scarcity 

• Lack of warm clothing and safe shelter 

As temperatures drop, families are already weakened by years of crisis, facing new dangers. 

According to UN agencies, millions in Gaza and Yemen are experiencing severe food insecurity, conditions that become even more dangerous in winter.
