"I have always been worried," she said. "Will I be able to deliver safely? If I cannot eat nutritious food, will it affect the baby?" She went for her first check-up at a clinic run by the IRC, with her sister-in-law Husana — also 20, also expecting ⬇️

When Nora's youngest daughter fell sick overnight with vomiting and diarrhea, Nora brought her to a clinic run by the IRC, where she received free treatment, including oral rehydration solution. "We don't need to buy medicines," Nora said. "It saves money, which we can use for food." ⬇️

Nora, 23, lives in Rakhine State, Myanmar with her husband and two children. Fishing restrictions pushed her husband into driving a rickshaw instead; work that earns just enough for rice and oil, with nothing left over for emergencies. Their roof still needs repair and rainy season is closing in ⬇️

Since records began, over 3,200 aid workers have been killed—despite international humanitarian law explicitly prohibiting attacks on them. Almost a fifth of those killed were Palestinian humanitarian workers risking everything to respond to the crisis in Gaza. [1/3]

"What we're seeing in Gaza today is a distribution that goes against every principle, every good practice of modern humanitarian aid. It's unsafe and dehumanising... It's insufficient and inadequate." IRC Senior Vice President for Crisis Response Ciaran Donnelly on @cnn-news.bsky.social

033

International Rescue Committee @rescue.org · 21/07/2025

The reckless and illegal killing of civilians waiting for lifesaving aid in Gaza must end. No one should have to risk their lives seeking food, water or medical care.

020

International Rescue Committee @rescue.org · 15/07/2025

Recent reports of children in Gaza being killed while waiting for nutritional supplements and drinking water are horrifying. The reckless killing of children is plainly illegal. We call on all parties to the conflict to uphold international humanitarian law and protect children’s lives.

"In Gaza, it's living hell, that's the only way to put it... The needs are beyond desperate, they're not being met and there are straightforward ways to meet the needs in the very short term." IRC President and CEO David Miliband spoke with Robert Peston:

International Rescue Committee @rescue.org · 03/06/2025

The international community must: ➡️Send aid where it matters most. Focus on the hardest-hit areas, based on real needs. ➡️Strengthen partnerships between donors, NGOs, and local groups. ➡️Invest in smarter funding. Flexible, multi-year funding is essential for responding to fast-moving crises.

“Every hour counts. It’s an absolutely abominable level of suffering inside Gaza and it’s a preventable level of suffering... What counts now is not language, it’s actions to address the situation." IRC President & CEO David Miliband speaks to @yaldahakim.bsky.social .social on @news.sky.com:

We mourn the loss of Pope Francis, a vital global voice for those in greatest need, and send our condolences to the Catholic community around the world.

As of today, the IRC’s contract providing legal services to unaccompanied children has been terminated and could impact over 500 children represented by IRC legal advocates. We urge policymakers to ensure that unaccompanied children continue to have legal representation today.

International Rescue Committee @rescue.org · 21/03/2025

Imagine a 6-year old child forced to represent themselves in court. That could soon be the reality. Programs that make sure unaccompanied children seeking protection in the U.S. get legal assistance are under attack. Children deserve to be children, no matter their immigration status.

We are gravely concerned by reports that Israel’s renewed airstrikes on Gaza have killed hundreds of civilians, including children. We call on all parties to the conflict, and all actors with influence, to ensure that the ceasefire is immediately reinstated and that negotiations are resumed.
