Shelters, Coats, Blankets For Gaza
Winter in Gaza isn't just cold, it's wet.
Tents are leaking. Blankets are damp. Children are shivering through the night.Right now, your support can help families stay dry, warm, and safe.
Thousands of families in Gaza are still living in temporary tents after losing their homes. As winter rains fall, these shelters offer little protection.
Water seeps through thin fabric. Cold air settles in. Clothing stays wet.And when a child sleeps in damp conditions night after night, illness spreads fast.
This is what families are facing today:
- Leaking tents that can't withstand heavy rain
- Wet blankets and clothing that don't dry
- Cold nights that increase the risk of winter illness
- Parents powerless to protect their children from the elements
What UMMA Is Doing Right Now
We are already on the ground delivering winter protection to families living in tents.
Through our winter relief operations, UMMA teams are distributing:
- Waterproof tarpaulins to cover tents and block rain
- Winter coats to protect children from cold winds
- Warm blankets to help families sleep through freezing nights
You'll see it in the images; this is real help, delivered directly to those who need it most.
But the need is far greater than what we can cover alone.
Why Give Now
Winter rain doesn't wait.
The longer families remain exposed, the worse conditions become:
- More damp nights
- More sickness
- More children sleeping cold and wet
Your donation helps us move faster and reach more families before the situation worsens.
Keep Families Dry. Keep Children Warm.
Families in Gaza are not asking for comfort.They are asking for basic protection; from cold rain, damp nights, and winter illness.
Your support today helps provide tarpaulins, coats, and blankets to families who have already lost too much.
Donate now and help protect Gaza from winter rain.

What Is Happening
Families in Gaza have been displaced again and again, and the markets, clinics and water systems they relied on are gone. Hunger here is not a slow decline. It arrives in weeks, and it reaches children first.
What UMMA Is Doing
We work through kitchens and medical teams already inside these communities, because they know which streets to reach and they are there before we are. Your donation buys ingredients, fuel, medicine and the transport that gets all three to families who cannot travel to collect them.
Common Questions
Is my donation secure?
Card details go to Stripe and never reach our servers. We see the amount, the campaign and the receipt address, nothing else.
Are my donations tax deductible?
Yes, to the extent allowed by law. You receive a receipt for every donation, and all of them are in My Donations, in the UMMA app or your dashboard on the web.
Can I give my Zakat to UMMA?
Yes, and only to campaigns marked Zakat eligible. Zakat is restricted to the categories in Surah At Tawbah (9:60), so UMMA will not let it be applied anywhere else. If no eligible campaign is open, we say so rather than route it elsewhere.
How do you decide where donations go?
Donations go to the campaign you choose, and that campaign shows its own progress. If you donate without choosing one, funds go where the need is greatest at that moment.
Can I cancel a recurring donation?
Yes, at any time, in My Donations in the UMMA app or on the web. No email and no phone call. Gave without an account? The link in your receipt email cancels it.
Something went wrong with my donation. Who do I tell?
Email hello@ummafoundation.org with the receipt number and a person replies. Refunds follow the refund policy on this site.
What happens if this campaign does not reach its goal?
The work carries on with what was raised. Donations are not held back waiting for a total and they are not moved to another campaign: they go to this one, and the progress bar shows exactly where it stands.
What happens if it raises more than its goal?
It keeps accepting donations and the extra goes to the same work. A goal is what we planned for, not a cap on the need, and a campaign that has passed its goal is still the campaign you chose.
