Tents were only ever meant to be temporary. Now, in Gaza’s fourth winter of genocide, families are still living in them. In summer, the heat inside is unbearable. In winter, rain seeps through the fabric and soaks mattresses and children’s clothes. After years of exposure, the tents that families rely on for shelter are falling apart. Tents cost between $200 and $700. The Sameer Project is buying durable, waterproof tents that can withstand heavy rain. They cost more, and we need your help to get them to families whose shelters have already flooded. Donate to our winter campaign in our General Fund link and share this appeal. Families need somewhere dry to sleep tonight: chuffed.org/project/113222-t…

Gaza is DROWNING. And this should make us angry, furious and outraged! 🚨Urgent support needed 🚨 chuffed.org/project/113222-t… Overnight, thousands of tents collapsed under the storm, with dozens of displacement camps now completely underwater. The rain is expected to continue until Monday. This is the FOURTH winter that Palestinians in Gaza have faced under genocide. After years of bombardment, displacement and destruction, families who have already lost their homes are now watching their only remaining shelter collapse under the rain. Think about what that means: parents trying to keep their children dry, families desperately trying to salvage their belongings from floodwater, people who have already been displaced repeatedly being left with nowhere safe to go. There is something profoundly wrong with a world in which people are forced to fight this hard for the basic right to shelter. They should never have been put in this position. The Sameer Project is already replacing dozens of destroyed tents and arranging truckloads of sand to help absorb water in flooded camps. But the need is far greater than our current resources. We urgently need funding to provide higher-quality, more durable tents. These cost $700, compared to $200 for lower-quality alternatives. Many families are refusing the cheaper tents because they know they will likely break again. We are also looking to buy hundreds of tarps and blankets. They cannot keep starting from nothing every time a storm hits. We are asking you to help us do something tangible. We can’t sink into helplessness. Help us get families out of the floodwater and into shelter that can actually protect them. We cannot stop the storm, but we can refuse to stand by while families face it without protection. Please urgently donate whatever you can and share this appeal. Every contribution brings another family closer to having somewhere safe and dry to sleep: chuffed.org/project/113222-t…

Think about everyday, multiple times per day, walking 700 meters - nearly half a mile - just to fill one jerrycan. Then imagine being a child carrying it all the way back. Support here: chuffed.org/project/help-us-… The Sameer Project brings clean drinking water directly to underserved neighborhoods in Gaza. When our trucks come to them, children can fill their jerrycans close to home. Help us keep bringing water directly to the families who need it - to the most vulnerable and underserved areas.
