International Rescue Committee

John, imagine having to flee your home at a moment's notice, not knowing where you or your children will sleep. Now imagine living in a tent in a park. Temperatures dip below freezing at night, numbing your fingers and making you cough. You have no winter coats, warm blankets or gas for heat.

For displaced Afghans, this is a daily reality. Thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes and are struggling to afford food, heat and winter supplies. Many may not survive without urgent assistance.

You can help us reach families in crisis zones like Afghanistan with the resources they need to survive the winter — and if you give now, your gift will be matched to make 2X the difference.

2X YOUR GIFT »

Winter weather isn't just about feeling cold. For families facing crises like displacement, hunger and COVID-19, winter can exacerbate all they are already facing and cut them off from urgently-needed aid.

23 million Afghans are already struggling with food insecurity, including 1 million children who could die without emergency malnutrition treatment. Freezing temperatures can compound hunger and make it harder than ever for families to access lifesaving health care.

Your gift — which will be doubled today — can make all the difference for families facing a brutal winter and the crises that come with it. Thank you.
