Routine immunizations protect individuals, communities, countries, and even the world from outbreaks of deadly diseases and pandemics. While global immunization coverage has increased dramatically in the past two decades, this is driven largely by gains in stable contexts. Children in humanitarian settings, including conflict-affected, remote regions, and cross-border communities continue to disproportionately lack access to this foundational health service. 

IRC malnutrition expert Dr. Mohamed Kassim explains how the IRC is protecting the health of children in Nigeria through malnutrition prevention and treatment.

The South Florida Human Trafficking Task Force (SFHTTF) was established in 2018, by the IRC in Miami with support from the Department of Justice and in collaboration with service providers, law enforcement agencies and individuals from the community. The purpose of the SFHTTF is to identify and protect survivors of human trafficking, prosecute traffickers and educate communities across South Florida about the impacts human trafficking has on the community.
