The IRC conducted a multi-sector needs assessment in 2024, covering the sectors of Protection, Health, Education and Economic Wellbeing, to identify key needs to support humanitarian program design in the coming period. Findings show that humanitarian needs are at an all time high, particularly impacted by shifts in the context in 2023, including the earthquake in Turkiye and the highest levels of violence seen across northern Syria since 2020. Millions of individuals continue to be unable to meet their basic needs.

On World Humanitarian Day - and every day of the year - the IRC acknowledges the massive contributions made by our frontline staff working in 50 countries around the world to serve people affected by conflict and disaster to survive, recover and rebuild their lives.
