Iraq
Five Years Later, a Hidden Crisis
More than 4 million Iraqis are uprooted in a crisis that's worsening every day, yet the international response has been grossly inadequate. The International Rescue Committee is aiding those in desperate need and urging fast action to protect the most vulnerable.
Democratic Republic of Congo
5.4 Million Dead
45,000 people dying every month in Congo's forgotten crisis. The IRC is working hands-on in Congo to stop the shocking human loss and the suffering that demands action and attention.
Darfur
Growing Violence
With more than 2 million people driven from their homes, Darfur has been described as one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Amid desperate conditions, the IRC delivers lifesaving aid, protects women and girls, and speaks out for global action on behalf of the Sudanese people.

Responding to Crisis
The gravest threat to human lives usually occurs in the initial stages of a major emergency. The IRC maintains an Emergency Response Team that can be deployed to the site of a crisis on 72 hours notice.
