UNHCR Belgium | Winter far from home
Sub-zero temperatures and harsh winter conditions make life hard for people who had to flee their homes due to violence in the Middle-East, Ukraine and all over the world!
Help families forced to flee through the freezing winter.
Thousands of people forced to flee will be spending this winter far from home, living in temporary shelters, with little resources, or the means to keep themselves warm.
You can help protect displaced families from the cold.
At UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, we are already ramping up our winter response, to protect people before the worst winter weather sets in.
Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, millions of people have fled their homes, and face winters in temporary accommodation. In Ukraine, we are repairing war-torn buildings, distributing insulation kits, and helping families with emergency cash support. In neighbouring countries like Moldova, we’re helping refugees to integrate into communities, as well as helping them to find jobs to rebuild their lives.
In Afghanistan, and neighbouring countries including Pakistan, families have been subjected to decades of conflict, poverty, and hunger, as well as recurring natural disasters. To protect people from the region’s harsh winters, UNHCR is building shelters, providing heaters to keep people warm and supporting families with cash assistance to help buy food, clothes, and fuel for heating.
Across the Middle East, families from Syria, are facing yet another winter far from home. UNHCR teams are on the ground in Syria, Jordan and Lebanon, providing solar lights and heaters, repairing and insulating shelters, providing vital cash assistance and access to health services.
We can’t do this alone. Donate to UNHCR’s winter appeal today.
