Winter Emergency
Send Warmth to the Needy
For many of us, winter is marked by gentle snowfall, roaring fires, fluffy blankets and warm clothes. Temperatures fall and roads become icy and wet, but we know that in our homes we are safe, warm and protected. However, for countless people around the world, winter is a battle for survival. Millions wonder if without adequate shelter, good food and warm clothing, they will survive the freezing months.
This year, the Coronavirus pandemic has made winter even more difficult around the world. Without adequate protection and food to remain healthy, people are at more risk than ever.
In the Middle East, millions of people are living in temporary refugee camps or homes. In Palestine and Lebanon, refugees have fled violence and conflict to seek security and safety.
However, winter is a crisis they cannot flee. Without winter clothing or items, they cannot seek refuge from the sub-zero temperatures, snow and freezing rain. Warm clothing, blankets and food will make the world of difference.
In Asia, the cold winter nights put those living in poverty at even greater risk. While Asia is known for its sunshine and warm temperatures, the winter months are devastatingly cold. Temperatures fall well below zero and parts of the continent face heavy snow and rain. For those living in poverty, winter is a huge struggle, and many could fall fatally ill. In winter across Asia, even a simple cold could cost them their lives. Jackets, socks, blankets, food and fuel could help them survive the brutal winter.
