Disasters Emergency Committee
The IRC is a member of the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC).
What is the Disasters Emergency Committee?
The DEC brings together 15 leading aid charities, including the IRC, and raises funds to respond to disasters quickly and effectively. Member charities are experts in humanitarian aid and specialists in different areas of disaster response.
When a DEC appeal is launched, these 15 aid charities spring into action and work together to raise funds and deliver urgent aid.
DEC members are on the ground. When you donate to a DEC appeal, the money goes on to each of the 15 member charities, who then deliver aid through their own operations.
Urgent appeal
Please donate to the current DEC appeal to get lifesaving aid where it is urgently needed
What is the International Rescue Committee?
The IRC helps people affected by humanitarian crises to survive, recover and rebuild their lives. For over 90 years, we’ve provided humanitarian aid and long-term support to people affected by conflict, disaster and displacement.
