Every year, the IRC analyzes humanitarian need around the world and identifies the crises most likely to worsen in the coming year. This is our 2026 Emergency Watchlist:
From all of us at the IRC: Thank you to @Harry_Styles and @Apple for your generous donation to the IRC.
Working in more than 40 countries, your support will help us reach even more refugees and people in need in the world’s toughest places. Honored to have your support!
We're honored to officially announce that @IAMLenaHeadey, @HBO's @GameOfThrones star and champion for refugees, is our newest IRC Voice! RT to help us spread the news if you join Lena to #StandWithRefugees.
BREAKING: The Trump Administration confirmed it is proposing an annual admissions ceiling for refugees at 18,000. This represents another drastic reduction in the US refugee admissions goal, which on average has exceeded 95,000 since 1980. rescue.org/press-release/…
The IRC sends our utmost condolences to @WCKitchen, who had 7 staff killed last night by an Israeli strike while delivering food in a protected zone in central #Gaza. All civilians and humanitarian workers are protected under International Humanitarian Law and are #NotATarget.
