Sixty million people are fleeing their homes, two-thirds within their own countries and the rest crossing borders to seek refuge. While the world has never been more generous in responding, offering $28 billion in 2015, the $15 billion gap between humanitarian needs and available financing has never been so wide. We need better aid to make the greatest impact with scarce resources and overcome the challenges of modern displacement.

Humanitarian needs are skyrocketing, with 339 million people expected to need assistance by 2024—a 400% increase in five years. At the IRC, we tackle this challenge through innovation and cost-effectiveness, ensuring every dollar delivers maximum impact.
