Dear John

Winter will be tough for all of us this year. But in the Middle East, where millions of people have been displaced from their homes, life is about to become even harder.

Temperatures are plummeting. In places including Syria, Iraq and Yemen, they will soon dip below freezing. Refugee families are battling against the cold and the threat of COVID-19 with no place to call home.

Your act of kindness could make all the difference. 

This winter, kindness feels like a thick blanket and a safe, dry place to stay. This winter, kindness feels like a warm jacket and a roaring fire. Children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable as they struggle to keep warm. Your kindness is needed now for timely protection ahead of winter - before it is too late and the conditions become life-threatening.

Donate to UNHCR now, and we’ll use your generous gift to protect refugees:

We can’t thank you enough.

P.S. Did you know solar lamps not only brighten up long winter nights, but help protect women and girls from gender-based violence when having to walk in the dark.
