Urgent: Keep Gaza’s Children Warm This Winter

After two years of devastating conflict, children and families in Gaza are left with almost nothing, sheltering in tents, tarpaulins, or damaged buildings with no insulation or heating.

As winter approaches in the region, temperatures are beginning to fall. Immediate survival needs are critical - families urgently require shelter, blankets, warm clothing, nutrition, safe drinking water, and medical care. Without these essentials, the risk of hypothermia, disease, and child mortality will rise sharply.

UNICEF’S URGENT RESPONSE:

While the ceasefire could bring a much-needed pause to the violence, the humanitarian crisis is far from over. UNICEF is urgently scaling up its emergency response to protect children from the cold and meet their most urgent needs.

During the ceasefire, one of our aims is to give every child under 10 a set of warm winter clothes and a pair of shoes, along with blankets and essential supplies for their families.
But funding is critically short, and we urgently need help from corporates and their employees to deliver this lifesaving aid at scale needed.

WHAT A DONATION COULD PROVIDE:

- $25 can provide 3 winter blankets for families
- $32 can provide 60 sachets of lifesaving food. 
- $65 provides one winter kit for a 1–2-year-old, including a thermal set, warm sweater, winter jacket, woollen hat with mittens, and sturdy boots to keep them safe and warm.
- $89 can provide an Emergency Disaster Kit including essential hygiene and sanitation items, and warm blankets. 
- $195 can help provide up to 3 sets of winter kits for 3-year-old children, each including a thermal set, warm sweater, winter jacket, woollen hat with mittens, and sturdy boots to keep them safe and warm.

Your donation will help children survive this winter and give families hope for a future where they can begin to rebuild their lives. Donate today.
