These initiatives primarily targeted internally displaced people, refugees, conflict-affected families, and communities struggling with challenging weather conditions. The interventions encompassed food, clothing, blankets, heating supplies, shelter improvements, and essential services such as healthcare, water, and sanitation.\n\nQatar Charity's \"One Heart\" campaign in 2023-2024 proved to be their largest winter response yet, benefiting over 7.5 million people across 14 countries and costing approximately QAR 188 million. This campaign extended its reach to other regions, including Jordan, Pakistan, Somalia, Kyrgyzstan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Kosovo, Lebanon, Nepal, and Albania.\n\nIn 2024-2025, Qatar Charity expanded its efforts under the \"How Long?\" campaign, targeting 25 countries, including Qatar. The initiative initially allocated around QAR 72 million to benefit approximately 1.4 million people. The campaign concentrated on vulnerable communities in Palestine, Lebanon, Sudan, Yemen, and northern Syria, as well as those dealing with severe cold spells.\n\nDuring the 2025-2026 season, the charity continued its focus on internally displaced people, refugees, and families in need, with projects valued at approximately QAR 55 million and reaching nearly 1.1 million individuals. The interventions focused on nine countries, with a particular emphasis on the Gaza Strip, where families were experiencing acute shortages of adequate shelter, clothing, blankets, and food. The campaign continued to emphasize support for families facing challenging housing conditions, helping them withstand the cold, reduce health risks, and alleviate financial pressures.",
