Doha, November 09, 2026 : Qatar Charity (QC) has launched an urgent humanitarian response to support displaced people in the Gaza Strip after heavy rainfall flooded thousands of tents and worsened living conditions across the territory.
According to local authorities, the downpour last Saturday, which marked the first low-pressure weather system to affect Gaza this season, flooded around 70,000 tents and impacted approximately 350,000 displaced people.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Qatar Charity appealed to donors and benefactors to support its Winter Heroes campaign, which seeks to address urgent humanitarian needs and provide essential assistance to affected families.
The planned aid includes shelter, food and items to help families stay warm, with the aim of easing the hardships faced by displaced people amid the severe weather conditions.
The appeal comes as United Nations officials warn that nearly the entire population of Gaza is in urgent need of assistance. Humanitarian agencies have also cautioned that conditions could worsen with the onset of the rainy season, particularly amid ongoing restrictions and the blockade.
