Repost from @thesameerproject:
Winter in Gaza is here.
Rain, wind, and dipping temperatures combined with displacements, makeshift tents, and destroyed infrastructure, and the situation becomes a recipe for disaster.
We must act now. The Sameer Project is launching a Winter Campaign in order to prepare for and mitigate some of the suffering. Last winter half of Gazans still had shelter and not all vital infrastructure, particularly in the south, was out of operation. This winter is drastically different as 1.9 million people are internally displaced, water and sewage infrastructure has been destroyed, food aid is trickling in, and the healthcare system is at the brink of absolute collapse.
These families need your support. Picture what it would be like to have no roof, no warmth, no protection. We cannot allow this to happen. The Sameer Project aims to provide:
-100 sturdy weatherproof tents sheltering an estimated 1,000 people
-100 large waterproof tarps to winterize current shelters
-100 thick warm blankets to keep people from freezing
-100 winter outfits for children and adults who have nothing but summer clothing
YOU can directly be responsible for keeping someone warm and dry this winter. While we sit under our roofs, in our warm dwellings, please keep those in mind that have been stripped of all basic necessities and rights, while also experiencing unimaginable horrors and massacres around them.
Let’s make a difference. Find the Tents, Cash Aid, and Medical 🔗 in our bio and help prepare Gaza for winter.
