Provide Warmth, Hope and Protection to The People of Gaza With Sarah Naffar

AssalamuAlaikaum,

My name is Sarah Naffar, and I’m excited to join forces with Al Amal International Charity this Winter to provide lifesaving winter aid to the vulnerable people of Palestine.

Unlike you and I, these people do not have the luxury of blankets, warm clothes, shelter, or heaters. It breaks my heart that the season we all look forward to is also one that millions of people in these regions dread.

Allah’s Messenger SAW narrated:

“A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim who does not oppress him nor hand him over, and who is after the need of his brother, Allah will be after his need, and who relieves a Muslim from the plight of distress, Allah relieves him from one of the plights of distress of The Day of Resurrection, and who enshrouds a Muslim, Allah will cover him on The Day of Judgment”
[Sahih Al Bani 7988]

Therefore, it is our responsibility to come together and share our warmth with those who don’t have any.

Together we can turn this season of death for many to a season of joy, in sha Allah.

I look forward to your support on this important journey.

Chill In The Air, Fear In The Heart

As winter approaches, we envision cozy nights with hot cocoa and laughter around the fireplace… warm clothes, holiday gifts, and relaxing movie nights— there’s just so much to look forward to!

Yet, in this same world, during this same time of the year, millions of displaced refugees in Gaza, are fixated on one single thought as winter approaches: how will we survive?

Yes, that’s the current reality for thousands of poor, displaced, and affected families that are preparing for a harsh winter– only hoping for a piece of cloth to ward off the biting cold.

“I have only come with the clothes I am currently wearing, I have nothing prepared for the winter. I have no idea how I will protect myself from the long cold hours of the night.”

– Om Mahmoud Abu-Khdair, A mother in Gaza

These are the words of a displaced Gazan, and all of Gaza identifies with it right now.

After 61 days and 75 years of oppression and aggression, more than 1.8 million Gazans are now displaced. They have nowhere to go, nothing to eat, and no way to protect themselves from the harsh winter conditions of Gaza.

After about 2 months of carpet bombing in the region, there are now more than 100,000 buildings destroyed and more than 21,731 people killed— including 8,697 children and 4,410 women as well as those missing and trapped under the rubble who are now presumed dead.

4,016+ are severely injured, and there are no health facilities left to serve, so with the temperatures set to drop to about 9-10°C, and with the same clothes that they had when they fled their homes…

Their chances of survival are now nearing zero.

In Gaza,

✅ There are 2.2 million people, 50% of whom are children

✅ The Unemployment rate (before Oct 7) was 47%

✅ 80% of the population lives in poverty

✅ More than 1.8 million Gazans (80% of the population) are now displaced

Now, with the complete blockade and constant bombing, the situation has worsened more than ever before. The displaced Gazans are sleeping under open skies, seeking shelter in tents, and trying to survive with whatever little they can.

All of them left their homes with no belongings….

That means when winter comes, all of them will struggle to survive.

Already facing mass starvation, their bodies are not in any condition to withhold the storm in store for them— and many of these are infants!

The people of Gaza are entirely unprepared for winter— not in the slightest.

Imagine having to flee your home, trying to prove your humanity to the world, watching your home be turned to rubble, dealing with the grief of losing all your loved ones, having nothing to eat, having nothing left in the world that reminds you of a life that you used to have…

On top of all that, imagine if you have to also try to figure out how you will keep yourself and your loved ones alive through a season you once looked forward to — without resources or respite from the burdens of earlier struggles.
