What families are facing

Keep a family warm this winter in Palestine, the Syrian refugee camps, Lebanon or Pakistan, where nights drop below freezing in tents and damaged homes. Your gift sends food packs, heaters and firewood, winter jackets and hygiene kits, and a monthly gift from £5 keeps help arriving from November to March.

Palestine: the camps are flooding now

Heavy rain has flooded the tent camps in Palestine. Families are bailing water out of their tents with buckets and digging channels by hand to keep it out, and parents are carrying their children out of their tents in the night. Watch the film to see what families are facing, or give straight to our Palestine Emergency Appeal.

Why winter is an emergency

For families living in tents, damaged homes and camps, winter is dangerous. Temperatures drop below freezing at night, rain floods tents, and there is little fuel for heating or cooking. Children and the elderly suffer most.

Where your donation goes

We deliver winter aid to families in Palestine, Syrian refugee camps, Lebanon, Pakistan and other places with the greatest need:

  • nutritious food packs
  • heaters and firewood
  • warm winter jackets
  • hygiene kits
  • emergency shelter where it is needed most

100% of your donation reaches these projects, under our 100% donation policy.

Give monthly through the winter

Winter lasts months, not days. A monthly gift from £5 keeps help arriving from November to March.
