Greece currently hosts over 214,000 refugees and almost 20,000 asylum-seekers, half of whom wish to remain in the country. The International Rescue Committee (IRC) helps ensure these individuals understand their rights and provides them with job training, while also advocating for their rights, so that they can rebuild their lives.

Nearly 1 million Rohingya have fled violence in Myanmar's Rakhine State to Cox’s Bazar, a district in Bangladesh. The IRC is responding with health care, protection for vulnerable women and children, and emergency support for the refugees.
