During winter, conditions in refugee camps become unbearable. Temperatures plummet below zero - a disaster for people living in tents or makeshift homes. Heavy rain and snow can flood camps, trigger landslides and block aid deliveries when they're needed most.
UNHCR is rushing to deliver life-saving aid before the worst of the weather sets in. With your help, we can deliver vital supplies such as thermal blankets, heaters and warm clothing.
The majority of funds raised by Aotearoa New Zealand for UNHCR are directed to UNHCR’s emergency operations, providing the ready funds and resources to respond quickly and effectively in situations of crisis and disaster.
