Winter Coats for 1,000 Families in Gaza

November 2025

Scholars Without Borders distributed 5,000 winter coats to 1,000 displaced families in Gaza, reaching 6,000 individuals. The distribution took place over three days in November 2025. Each family received a full winter parcel to meet essential cold-weather needs.

Every parcel included winter sets for men, women, girls and boys. Medical and educational staff working in the sector also received parcels. The project cost $150,000 to deliver.

This work was made possible by the generosity of our donors.

SWB staff sort winter clothing stacks on tables under a tented distribution site as a crowd gathers. Six Scholars Without Borders volunteers in matching vests stand facing a project banner at the site. A volunteer in a vest stands over piles of plastic-wrapped clothing bundles ready for distribution. A line of women and children waits beside tables piled with folded winter clothing. A staff member hands folded pink garments to a group of men and women at the table. Two women in headscarves examine wrapped winter clothing packages on a distribution table. A family including a young boy holds a blue bag and wrapped coat received at the distribution. A boy carries a full blue bag of winter clothing away from the distribution tent. Two young men carry blue bags of winter clothing parcels through a covered hall. A volunteer hands a blue parcel of winter clothing to a recipient wearing a backpack indoors.
