The IRC in Denver and Highlands United Methodist Church Embrace a Second Co-Sponsored Refugee Family

In a significant collaboration, the Qatar Fund For Development (QFFD) and the International Rescue Committee (IRC) launched a new project to provide primary healthcare services to more than 23,000 Syrian refugees in Za’atari Refugee Camp. This initiative, set to extend for approximately two and a half years, marks a critical step towards addressing the urgent healthcare needs of the world’s largest Syrian refugee camp.

The average length of displacement is between 20 to 30 years and 6 out of 10 refugees are in urban areas, in cities and towns across the globe. At least half of all IDPs are also in urban areas.

Evidence shows that in many contexts, cash relief is a more efficient and cost-effective solution in crisis settings than food, clothing and in-kind donations.

While more than 4 million refugees have already fled Ukraine, millions more people remain trapped and in need of aid with their cities under attack. How to help.
