Winter Emergency

This winter, millions of families will face the cold with nothing between them and the night but a torn tent or a broken wall. In Palestine, Afghanistan, Syria and beyond, war and displacement have taken their homes, their warmth and their safety. Your gift can wrap a family in mercy and help them survive until spring. 

Donate this Winter

Your impact last winter

Last winter, your compassion brought warmth, food and shelter to 38,970 people. Families slept under blankets you provided, children wore coats you paid for, and homes were heated with the fuel you gave. This year, need is even greater, and we’re determined to reach more families than ever. 

When the cold comes, mercy can’t wait 

For millions, the coming months won’t just be uncomfortable. Cold will be another threat on top of hunger, illness, and loss. 

Winter hits hardest those who have already lost everything. Without heating, warm clothing, food or a sturdy roof, the most vulnerable (children, widows and the elderly) are at the greatest risk.

The need this winter

  • Palestine: Nearly 1.8 million people in Gaza face a fourth winter without adequate shelter, according to the UN. Around 284,250 families will need shelter assistance this winter, but existing supplies can cover only about 52,200.  
  • Afghanistan: Almost 22 million people, nearly half the population, need humanitarian assistance in 2026, and more than 5 million Afghans have returned from neighbouring countries in the last three years. Around 4.2 million people will need emergency shelter and essential household items this year.  
  • Syria: An estimated 15.6 million people, about 60% of the population, need humanitarian assistance in 2026. Over 5 million people need winter shelter and relief support.

A dua for this winter 

رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ 

Rabbanataqabbalminna, innakaantas-Samee’ul-‘Aleem 

“Our Lord, accept this from us. Indeed, You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.” (Qur’an 2:127) 

O Allah, shelter those who have no shelter, warm those who have no warmth, and feed those who go to sleep hungry. Wrap them in Your mercy, and accept our giving as a means of nearness to You. Ameen.
