The past few months have seen some of the bloodiest fighting in more than seven years of civil war in Syria as attacks intensify in Eastern Ghouta, including a suspected chemical weapons attack on April 8 in the town of Douma. The International Rescue Committee (IRC) and our partners are there providing support for civilians living under siege.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) Emergency Watchlist 2023 is a call to action for global leaders and the general public.

The DEC brings together 15 leading aid charities, including the IRC, and raises funds to respond to disasters quickly and effectively. Member charities are experts in humanitarian aid and specialists in different areas of disaster response.
