Winter has tightened its grip on Gaza as nearly one million displaced people remain without adequate shelter — with only 23% of winter shelter needs currently met. Families are enduring harsh weather conditions with limited protection from cold, wind, and flooding.
The Humanitarian Impact of Winter on Gaza
Heavy rainstorms continue to flood tents and fragile makeshift shelters, offering little to no protection against the freezing temperatures.
Nighttime cold poses a severe risk, particularly to children, who are vulnerable to hypothermia and other winter-related illnesses — especially those already suffering from malnutrition.
Fuel shortages are forcing families to burn wood or refuse for heat, creating additional health risks. With over 1.6 million people living in emergency tents or unsafe shelters, the arrival of winter has intensified an already dire humanitarian crisis.
Fatih Foundation Expands Winter Relief Efforts
In response to the worsening conditions, Fatih Foundation is scaling up its winter relief operations across Gaza.
This expanded support includes:
- Distribution of blankets and warm winter clothing
- Provision of fuel for heating
- Delivery of weather-proof shelter kits for the most vulnerable families
These efforts aim to bring immediate warmth, comfort, and protection to communities facing life-threatening winter conditions.
