The International Rescue Committee (IRC) in partnership with Qatar Charity has launched a new integrated humanitarian response service program for vulnerable communities in the Blue Nile State of Sudan. The program will run for six months, serving over 8,000 hard-to-reach refugee, host, and internally displaced communities in Wad al Mahi and Ar Rusayris localities. It aims to expand their access to improved health, water, hygiene and sanitation services

17-year-old Nasro is the inspiration for the short film Brave Girl Rising, produced by Girl Rising in collaboration with the IRC.
