By the time a famine is declared, it’s already too late – people are dying, paying the price of the world’s inaction.

There are now more than 82 million refugees and displaced people around the world. The International Rescue Committee is providing relief to millions in war zones and other countries in crisis as well as supporting refugees in the UK, Europe and the United States, where refugees continue to seek safety.

The International Rescue Committee provides vital support to Ivorians who continue to suffer the effects of years of violent civil war and economic unrest.

Families escaping gang violence and persecution in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador have undertaken a dangerous journey to seek safety in the United States. Central Americans have the right to request asylum in the U.S. without being criminalised or separated from their children.
