The war in Ukraine has affected the lives of millions of people, driving 10 million out of their homes, and creating unprecedented humanitarian needs inside the country. To date, 14.6 million people need urgent humanitarian assistance. The IRC has been present in Ukraine since February 2022, working hand in hand with local partners to provide vital support to conflict-affected people to help them survive, recover and regain control of their future.

The IRC in Iraq successfully expedited the passing and implementation of the first Iraqi Legal Aid Law and co-advocated for the "Right of Access to Information" law with the Parliamentary Development Institute.

There are now 100 million people displaced worldwide as a result of the Ukraine war and new waves of conflict and violence in other countries.
