    Overview

    This winter, freezing temperatures are threatening millions across Yemen, Morocco, India, Pakistan, Gaza, and Türkiye. For families already struggling with poverty, displacement, and conflict, the cold brings new risks—hypothermia, illness, and hunger.

    In Türkiye alone, over 12 million displaced people are braving the winter in overcrowded shelters. In Gaza, children face cold nights without the basics to stay warm. And in regions like Jammu & Kashmir, isolated villages endure freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall, leaving families vulnerable without adequate protection.

    Through this campaign, we are delivering critical aid to the most affected communities. Blankets, warm clothing, and heating supplies offer immediate relief, while food packs help families get through the season. Together, we can ease their suffering.
