Donate To Wake Up The Warmth This Winter.
As millions of displaced people in Syria face daily challenges, the arrival of winter adds an extra burden to their struggles. This winter, Stand along with WATAN in providing comfort to the IDPs in Syria.
Syria Encounters Ruthless Winters
Severe humanitarian crises that have been ongoing for over a decade have made survival challenging for the Syrians. As they struggle to survive, poverty and instability have skyrocketed. Winters are especially hard for them as they cannot protect themselves from winter storms and frigid temperatures.
The numbers are grim for the population of Syria!
- In Syria, 7 million people are internally displaced.
- 4.6 million people in northwest Syria are vulnerable to fierce winter.
- In 2024, 16.7 million people will need humanitarian assistance, the largest number since the beginning of the crisis in 2011.
- Syria ranks 6th in the most food-insecure countries globally, with a staggering 12.9 million people considered food insecure.
Shield The Vulnerable From Winter’s Harshness
More than half of the population in northwest Syria depends on winter aid to fulfil their fundamental needs; most of these are women and children surviving in camps without heating, electricity, water supply, or adequate sewage systems.
Families have no choice but to burn their assets, including furniture, to endure the cold. The aftermath of toxic fumes due to burning suffocates many, but the deplorable conditions provoke them to take such risks.

Kerosene Heating
As temperatures drop below the freezing point, it gets difficult for disadvantaged people to stay warm only with blankets and winter clothing. They need heaters to keep themselves warm that run on kerosene or fuel, and countless people are protected by ensuring kerosene heating.
Makeshift Tents
Lack of shelter constantly devastates families with flooding, rain, and cold. They need proper and secure tents which can provide them with safety. Our makeshift tents are vigorous enough to give some ease.
