Crisis watch

Displacement around the world continues to reach record levels, with millions risking their lives for safety. The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is responding to the crisis in Ukraine and other humanitarian emergencies. The needs of the most vulnerable must not be neglected or forgotten—see the top 10 crisis countries in 2022.
