This winter, over a 100 million people are forcibly displaced due to conflict and climate change.

Now, a perfect storm of rising energy costs, cold weather, and soaring inflation means families have no access to food and no way to keep warm. Without adequate warmth and nutrition, fighting illnesses like influenza and Covid-19 becomes impossible, and small children, pregnant women, the elderly, and disabled are at extreme risk.

When temperatures drop, the most vulnerable are at risk of serious illness and death and rely solely on the generosity of you – our donors – to keep them warm, protected, and nourished. By donating to our Winter Emergency Appeal, you can be a family’s lifeline, providing warm clothing and blankets, shelter, fuel, heating, and nutritious food items. Together we can make such a difference to 250,000 people across 11countries, including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Kashmir, Gaza, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, where families often have little more than flimsy makeshift shelters to protect themselves from freezing temperatures, snowstorms, and flooding. We can make a big difference right here in the UK too as the cost-of-living crisis deepens.

After enduring the horrors of conflict, displacement, abuse, and extreme poverty, winter can be the final nail in the coffin. This winter, as the cold weather and cost-of-living crisis collide, it could be the deadliest season on record. We need your warmth now more than ever. Your kindness and generosity can help protect a widow and her children in Gaza. It can help a rural community in Pakistan to brave winter. It can help a refugee family in Lebanon to stay warm. Please give generously. Winter kills. If everyone were to help someone this winter, no one would be left behind.
