Friend,

Syrian children and families are in dire need this winter. Back-to-back cold snaps have brought heavy snowfall and below-freezing temperatures, hitting displaced families hard.

For families living in overcrowded camps, freezing temperatures can be the difference between life and death. Already this year, children in camps have died of hypothermia and in fires caused by fuel heaters in makeshift shelters.

And as you know, winter exacerbates the crises that people are already facing. Ten years of violent conflict and now brutal winter conditions are causing displaced families to struggle for adequate food, health care and winter supplies.

You can make a difference for families struggling to survive the harsh winter. Rush a donation now to help deliver winter supplies and other urgently-needed aid to families in crisis zones like Syria:

More than 6.2 million people across Syria have been forced to flee their homes, often without enough time to take essential items like winter coats. Many live in unfinished buildings in overcrowded, informal camps — where temperatures at night have dropped as low as 23°F.

Our teams are working around the clock to provide emergency cash so people can get the winter supplies they need and operating health facilities that are treating malnourished children. But we need supporters like you to step up and help us meet this moment of incredible urgency.

Friend: Please make a gift to help families in the world's toughest places before it's too late. Children and families are counting on us.

Thank you for supporting children and families in need,

— Hank, IRC
