They have limited food, unsanitary water, and a hard winter that has already started. Protect them from suffering more than what they already have. Send winter provisions with us to make things a little easier, to give someone a better chance at survival,” HHRD wrote on its website.

“Help families survive the winter. Islamic Relief is working to provide winter kits to more than 200,000 vulnerable people in need this year including refugees, internally displaced people (IDPs), and orphaned families around the world.

Your donations will be a lifeline for them,” the UK charity wrote on its website in the appeal titled “A Struggle for Survival”.
