Families in Gaza

Keep a family in Gaza warm this winter.

Families in Khan Yunis are facing winter in tents and damaged homes, with little to keep out the rain and cold. Tents, blankets, warm clothes and firewood can see them through.

Why winter is so hard in Gaza

Most families have lost their homes, their income, or both.

Living in tents

Many families live in worn-out tents that let in the rain and the wind.

Fuel is scarce

Firewood and fuel are hard to find and costly, so families struggle to cook and keep warm.

Children are most at risk

Babies and young children fall ill first when cold, wet nights set in.
