International Rescue Committee's Response to Crises

The episode highlights the work of the International Rescue Committee (IRC), which has been providing aid during crises for over 90 years. The IRC acts quickly, often within 72 hours, to assist displaced families impacted by various emergencies including war, famine, and natural disasters. Currently, in places like Gaza, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Ukraine, harsh winter conditions exacerbate the struggles faced by many families living in makeshift camps. The IRC’s efforts include providing humanitarian resources such as food, clean water, shelter, and medical supplies to support those most vulnerable, including pregnant women and individuals with disabilities.
