The International Rescue Committee goes to crisis zones to rescue and rebuild. We lead refugees from harm to home.

Darfur Crisis

Sudan's forced closure of IRC humanitarian aid programs in Darfur, as well as North and East Sudan, puts at risk the lives of 1.75 million men, women and children who depended on them for survival.

Crisis Watch

  • Iraqi Refugees

    The war in Iraq has uprooted millions of Iraqi men, women and children. The IRC is delivering vital aid to thousands of displaced families in Iraq, Jordan and Syria and helping Iraqi refugees rebuild their lives in the United States.

  • Pakistan

    More than two million people have been forced to flee their homes by the fighting between Pakistani forces and Taliban militants in northwestern Pakistan, but only 10 to 15 percent have found shelter in camps. The rest are staying with overtaxed family and friends, or squatting in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions in schools and abandoned buildings.
