IRC aid worker in Yemen writes about the heavy toll the two-year war has taken on an entire country, and on the humanitarian agencies struggling to reach those on the brink of starvation.

A health system broken by war leaves Syrians to cope with unchecked chronic disease. The IRC is filling a critical gap in care for Syrians like 65-year-old Miriam with diabetes, as well as those with heart disease, asthma and other chronic conditions.

The IRC provides opportunities for refugees to thrive in America. In Los Angeles and many other regional offices across the country, the IRC helps them rebuild their lives and achieve self-sufficiency. To accomplish this, IRC LA relies heavily on efforts by our interns and volunteers.
