Along with hundreds of other refugees, Audrey, Baimba and Hassan have received mental health support from the IRC whilst living in Greece’s overcrowded camps. They’ve confronted the traumas of the past whilst living in conditions that no one should have to endure. The pandemic has only made things tougher for refugees living in camps with lockdowns trapping people in intolerable conditions.

Ebalo is just one of the thousands of children living in the Nyarugusu refugee camp in Tanzania receiving vital education with the support of the IRC.

The IRC is on the ground across Europe working with governments, municipalities and local organisations to meet the immediate and critical needs of those seeking refuge, and to support the effective integration of refugees into their new communities. The IRC has offices in Berlin, Bonn, Brussels, Geneva and London, and in partnership with the Netherlands Refugee Foundation, also has a presence in the Hague.
