Winter clothes for Gaza are the first thing displaced families need in winter, along with blankets and shoes, because tents and temporary shelters do not keep out the cold and rain. In December 2025 the United Nations quoted a local partner in Gaza as saying: families urgently need tents, blankets and warm clothes, because the cold has begun to bite.
Why do families in Gaza need winter clothes?
Because more than 1.9 million people are displaced in Gaza, and many live in tents damaged by wind and rain. Hundreds of tents were blown away or damaged in January 2026, leaving more than 3,000 people exposed to harsh weather. UNICEF puts blankets and plastic sheeting at the top of children’s needs.
What does a winter clothing bag for Gaza contain?
In the 2024-2025 “How Long?” campaign, Qatar Charity distributed to displaced people in southern Gaza more than 4,600 blankets and 18 thousand complete bags of winter clothing including shoes for children and adults, in cooperation with Mercy Around the World.
How does warm clothing reach families?
Humanitarian organizations work through an organized distribution system at displacement sites. In November 2025 the United Nations provided more than 8,800 blankets and more than 300 tents through shelter partners, and estimated the urgent need for shelter at about 1.5 million people, so winter clothing remains a need that no single shipment can meet.
