Dr. Stacey Mearns and the IRC's team of health experts answer a few key questions about pandemics and how the coronavirus is impacting refugees and the IRC's work.

Our team’s ability to operate in communities across the country is rooted in their expertise and decades-long presence.

The continuing war in Ukraine is causing extreme civilian harm, as millions of people have been forced to leave their homes and find shelter in neighbouring or further countries. Poland is one of the countries hosting the largest number of refugees from Ukraine. The IRC has worked in Poland since February 2022 to provide vital support to those affected by the conflict, so they can return home when it is safe, not because they have to.
