The Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) has been mired in conflict for over a decade, with devastating effects on its civilian population.

Humanitarian needs in countries such as Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria and Somalia could rise as a result of the conflict in Ukraine. Here are three reasons why.

Tens of thousands of Syrians who fled the traumatic bombing of Aleppo are crowded into shelters in Idlib province. The IRC is there providing cash relief, trauma counseling and other emergency support to hundreds of recently-arrived families.

The IRC’s US offices offer a variety of unpaid internship opportunities throughout the year. Prospective interns should be currently enrolled in an educational institution or within 6 months of graduation and are required to submit an application and resume. Internships at the International Rescue Committee in Phoenix provide college students and recent graduates with opportunities to gain professional experiences and exposure to different fields. Interns learn to work in a multi-cultural environment, build professional networks within the community, and cultivate adaptability and creativity in a dynamic world. Please note that most of our internships are in person. There may be some exceptions for specific positions.
