Keep them warm, Keep them alive

As winter approaches, countless families face the cold without protection—no warm clothes, heating, blankets, or enough food. Rising costs, ongoing conflicts, and climate disasters are worsening their struggles.

For refugees in tents, children on the streets, and the elderly, freezing temperatures can be life-threatening. Many displaced families have been forced to leave their homes multiple times and now face winter with nothing. They depend on your support to survive.

This winter, Muslim Hands is responding with urgent relief. In Gaza, we are working through the UN World Food Programme (WFP) to distribute hot meals, food parcels and bread to the people of Gaza.

Our teams are also providing essential winter aid, including blankets, warm clothing, and food parcels to struggling families in Pakistan, displaced communities in Yemen, and Lebanon, as well as locally within Canada.

As temperatures drop, your gifts of kindness can provide warmth, comfort, and nourishment to families fighting to survive.

Our Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: “Whoever relieves a believer’s hardship, Allah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment.” (Sahih Muslim).

Together, let’s share our blessings and bring comfort to those in need.

Without your compassion, many may not survive this winter. Let's unite to bring hope and warmth this winter.

Gaza's Winter Crisis

Gaza's Need For Support This Winter

Amidst the ongoing conflict Gazan's are having to face further hardships this winter. With temperatures dropping and harsh weather conditions, survival has become even more difficult.

The dangerously cold living conditions, especially for vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and individuals with health issues can lead to an upsurge in winter-related illnesses, further burdening an already strained healthcare system.

The destruction of infrastructure, food insecurity and displacement exacerbates the struggle for safe shelter during the winter months.

The winter months in Gaza serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing humanitarian needs in the region, emphasizing the urgent call for support and assistance to help families weather the cold and secure a better quality of life.

 

As Winter Unfolds, Gaza Faces Growing Humanitarian Challenges

How To Support Gaza During Winter ?

Supporting Gaza during winter is crucial, especially as many families, amidst the ongoing conflict, are now having to face the harsh conditions of winter with limited resources.

Muslim Hands Canada are working through United Nations Relief Agency (UNRWA) and World Food Program (WFP) to provide essential aid to the people of Gaza.

These include hot cooked meals and emergency food parcels. Hot meals can be delivered to families in need, offering them not just warmth, but also the comfort and nourishment of a freshly prepared dish.

This can be especially important during the colder months when access to food can be even more challenging. 

Emergency food parcels are another vital support option.

These parcels are designed to sustain a family of five for an entire month, providing essential nutrients needed for survival.

By focusing on both hot meals and well-planned food packages, we can help families in Gaza maintain their health and dignity during winter, addressing both immediate hunger and long-term nutritional needs.

Your support in this endeavor can make a significant difference in the lives of those who are struggling.
