IRC president and CEO David Miliband highlights the relationship between the IRC's efforts on behalf of displaced people around the world and our immigration and citizenship work in the United States.

  Watch a recording of our May 20, 2021 Global Virtual Event and celebrate the vital work of International Rescue Committee teams, and the courage and resilience of refugees and displaced people around the world.

For more than 20 years, the IRC has been breaking down barriers that prevent gender-based violence survivors from disclosing violence and seeking services. We continue to work in areas that need it the most, which are characterized by insecurity, displacement and weak health systems.

The International Rescue Committee's health workers are on the frontlines against the coronavirus. They put their own lives at risk to save refugees and displaced people around the world. Thank you today and every day.

David Miliband, president and CEO of the International Rescue Committee (IRC), explains why it's important to become a monthly donor and stand with displaced families who are facing multiple emergencies — including the COVID-19 pandemic.

A compound crisis of armed conflict and climate change is driving unprecedented levels of humanitarian need, displacement and food insecurity in the Central Sahel: Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. But these impacts are distributed neither equally nor randomly across the region. This report examines how political decisions dating from the French colonial rule through the early 2000s have marginalized peripheral areas of the Central Sahel states both economically and politically.

Thousands of people are fleeing their homes as the Iraqi army, Kurdish Peshmerga and coalition forces fight to retake Mosul — Iraq's second largest city — from the ISIS militant group. The IRC is providing emergency cash relief and other support to displaced families.

Nine years of conflict have devastated Syria's health system, which now must face the threat of COVID-19. Hear from our doctors in the northeast about how they continue to serve displaced families at our health clinics—safely.

Protracted economic, political and security crises have rendered many countries ill-equipped to respond to COVID-19. Within these fragile contexts, refugees and people displaced by conflict and crisis will be disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. An effective response to COVID-19 requires both global and local solutions. IRC’s advocacy aims to secure funding and operational flexibilities, promote best practices, and address specific threats to the needs of the communities we serve.
