When the rain started, families in Gaza hoped it would pass quickly. But within hours, water was pouring into the tented camps where thousands of displaced people are trying to survive winter with almost nothing. One mother described waking to the sound of water hitting the floor beneath her children. “The ground turned to mud. Their blankets were soaked. I had nothing dry to give them.”

She is not alone. Across Gaza, winter floods have swept through camps made of plastic sheets, thin tarpaulin and sand. With no drainage systems and limited shelter materials, tents fill with water fast. Families lift their belongings off the ground, but the cold still cuts through the canvas. Children shiver through the night. Parents stay awake, trying to keep everyone warm.

The storms have made an already fragile situation even harder. Supplies are restricted from entering Gaza, which means families cannot replace soaked blankets, damaged clothing or the thin ground layers that once protected them from the cold. What gets wet often stays wet. For many, the winter rains have taken away the last source of comfort they had left.

Action For Humanity is working to support families through these conditions by preparing and delivering winter kits to areas hit hardest by the floods. Each kit offers warmth and protection through a blanket, warm clothing and a ground cover to lift families off the freezing, water-logged earth. These simple items make an immediate difference. They give children warmth. They give parents a moment of relief. They restore a sense of safety in a season of uncertainty.

Thanks to supporters like you, 435 families will receive a full winter kit, while 58 families will receive blankets and clothing, and a further 427 families will receive a blanket to help them through the cold nights. For families facing winter in flooded tents, this support is not just practical, it is vital.

As heavy rains continue, the need remains urgent. Families in Gaza cannot wait for the weather to improve. They need protection now. Together, we can help keep them warm, dry and safe this winter.
