Across the globe, record millions of people are being forced by violent conflict to flee their homes. These refugee families—children, women and men—are struggling to survive and recover. The International Rescue Committee and HBO's "Game of Thrones" have been working together to bring attention to the global refugee crisis.

The IRC offers high-quality, low-cost immigration legal services and citizenship assistance in 23 cities across the United States. Our comprehensive immigration services are provided by fully qualified IRC staff accredited by the U.S. Department of Justice's Board of Immigration Appeals.

From Syria to Sacramento, RescueWorks invests in people and communities to enhance the skills, income and financial capabilities of the world’s most vulnerable populations.

Cash relief is one of the most efficient and effective forms of aid for thousands of uprooted people struggling to survive in times of crisis.

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; in Europe, where refugees continue to seek safety; and in our 20+ resettlement offices in the United States.

In places like Syria and Lebanon, displaced families are experiencing frigid winter weather on top of what they are already facing — war, hunger and COVID-19.

For decades European countries have offered a welcome to people fleeing terrible circumstances of war and persecution. Learn how the IRC helps in Europe.
