Winter threatens refugees and displaced families in the Middle East
As winter sets in, many Syrian and Iraqi mothers are unable to keep their babies warm, dry and healthy during the bitter cold. They need our urgent support and protection to help them survive freezing temperatures, rain and storms.
Fears are growing among families living in tents, garages and unfinished buildings in the Bekaa valley where freezing temperature can drop to -15 °C!
UNHCR teams are on the ground helping to provide warm clothes, blankets, mattresses, stoves, fuel, insulation kits and cash assistance to these families. Many of them are still waiting to receive our help.
Please #DonateWarmth to a refugee family today.
