The Price of Warmth in Gaza

As winter settles over Gaza, the cold becomes an unforgiving challenge for thousands of families, particularly refugees living in overcrowded conditions. For them, staying warm isn’t just a comfort—it’s a matter of survival. Thanks to your generosity, we’ve been able to provide critical winter essentials like blankets and clothing. Here’s how your donations are making a tangible difference.

In Gaza, the cost of blankets varies based on their weight and quality, ranging from 70 to 350 shekels, equivalent to $20-$100:

• 70 shekels: Basic blankets that provide minimal warmth.
• 150 to 170 shekels: Mid-range options that combine affordability and durability.
  
• Up to 350 shekels: Heavier, premium-quality blankets ideal for severe winter conditions.​

By sourcing blankets and clothing directly from local markets in Gaza, we:

• Stimulate the local economy, offering support to struggling vendors.
• Negotiate bulk discounts, stretching your donations to help more families.
• Ensure the quality of all items to meet the critical needs of refugees living in harsh conditions.

Your generosity means that families, who often must choose between food and warmth, don’t have to make impossible decisions this winter.

In Gaza, where poverty and displacement affect so many, the warmth of a blanket or the comfort of a sweater can be life-changing. Your donations are not just providing physical warmth—they’re delivering hope, comfort, and a reminder that these families are not forgotten.

When you give, you’re helping a refugee child sleep warmly, a mother worry less, and a family face the winter with greater resilience. Together, we’re not just meeting a need; we’re restoring hope and humanity—one blanket, one sweater, one family at a time.
