Qatar Charity’s winter campaign in Gaza is part of its seasonal campaign to face the cold. The largest share of the projects of the 2023-2024 “Like One Body” campaign was allocated to crisis areas, above all the Gaza Strip, and the charity then launched the “How Long?” campaign for 2024-2025 in 25 countries, including Qatar, at a cost of about QAR 72 million.
What did Qatar Charity provide to Gaza in the winter campaign?
In December 2024 the charity distributed to displaced people in the south of the Strip more than 4,600 blankets and 18 thousand complete bags of winter clothing, including shoes for children and adults. It also planned to distribute 6,000 food baskets, in cooperation with Mercy Around the World.
What did Qatar Charity provide to Gaza after the ceasefire?
After the truce the charity stepped up its interventions in shelter, food and water, benefiting hundreds of thousands. Through the Jordanian route, 75 trucks carrying about 18,000 tent units began entering, expected to benefit 108,000 people. Through the Egyptian route, 16,994 tents entered, expected to benefit 101,964 people, and a ship arrived carrying 29,200 tents provided by the Qatar Fund for Development, Qatar Charity and the Red Crescent. The total number of tents provided within Qatari aid through the Egyptian corridor reached 75,264 by mid-November 2025.
Over two years, from October 2023 to October 2025, the charity carried out 99 projects that reached more than 5 million people at a cost of over QAR 243 million in food, health, education, water and shelter.
Why does the need for the winter campaign in Gaza continue?
Because about 1.5 million people need urgent shelter support according to the United Nations, and nine deaths from the cold were recorded in the 2025-2026 season by 21 January. The need does not end when one campaign ends; it returns with every season.
