“The winter is hard.
There is a lot of wind
and it’s freezing cold
during storms.”

• Hanaa

If^ you^ lived^ h

ere,^

would^ you^ sur

vive^

the^ winter?

When they arrived in
Lebanon after fleeing Syria
in fear for their children’s
lives, Hanaa and her
husband Abdul had
no savings and
no money to pay
rent. The only
place they could
find to live was the
unfinished building
you can see on
your right.
There were no exterior
walls. For two consecutive
winters the family had to
huddle together in the centre
of the ‘room’ in a desperate
attempt to keep warm. They
felt every blast of icy wind
and were at terrible risk of
respiratory diseases like
tuberculosis and pneumonia.
It is a miracle the family
survived, but they cannot
rely on another miracle
this winter. UNHCR, the UN
Refugee Agency, needs

your support to help parents

protect their children

this winter.

Please will you give

£75 to provide a refugee

family like Hanaa’s with a

Winter Survival Kit to protect

against the

freezing weather?

The kit contains essentials

such as a heating stove,

thermal blankets, warm

clothes and a tarpaulin for

insulation. For a family like

Hanaa’s who are struggling

to make ends meet and living

in a desperately exposed

shelter, It could mean

survival.

Right now, with the situation

in Syria uncertain, 1.7 million

refugees in Lebanon and

Jordan remain unable to

return home. They are

living, like Hanaa’s family,

in unfinished or derelict

buildings, or in makeshift

shelters made of little more

than wood and plastic

sheeting. With temperatures

falling, the lives of the most

vulnerable – young children,

pregnant women and the

elderly – are at grave risk.

With a gift of £75 you can

provide a Winter Survival Kit

containing a stove, blankets,

warm clothes and a tarpaulin

to help a family insulate

their home.

Please give today –

you could save the

lives of children

like Hanaa’s.
