Refugee crisis
The IRC is providing relief to millions of people who have been forcibly uprooted by the war in Syria and other brutal crises. Learn about how we help in the Middle East, Europe and the United States.
Better Aid
With a record 60 million people displaced from their homes worldwide, the IRC is calling on the international community to join us in working toward solutions that are about better aid, not just more aid.
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. At work in over 40 countries and 25 U.S. cities to restore safety, dignity and hope, the IRC leads the way from harm to home.
