The IRC provides The IRC In 2015 emergency assistance to all three countries.

Responding to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helping people to survive, recover and reclaim control of their future

More than 60 million people worldwide have been displaced from their homes, the largest upheaval of humanity since World War II. Twelve million are from Syria alone, but conflict, persecution and natural disaster have impacted South Sudan, nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan as well. The IRC and its partner organizations have responded by rapidly delivering vital lifesaving aid to these crisis areas. In 2015, 23 million people in more than 40 countries and 26 U.S. cities benefited from IRC programs that help restore health, safety, education and economic well-being to those devastated by conflict and disaster.

Syria Regional Response The war in Syria has displaced nearly 12 million people, 4 million of whom have fled to neighboring countries and nearly 1 million to Europe. The IRC is the only international aid organization acting on all fronts of the crisis: assisting the displaced inside Syria, those who have fled, and refugees resettling in the U.S.

The 2.6 million refugees who have been living outside Afghanistan for over three decades constitute the world’s longest ongoing refugee situation. The IRC has aided this diaspora since 1980 while working to restore that country’s health, infrastructure and economy. In neighboring Pakistan, where 1.5 million people have been displaced by ethnic and religious conflict, the IRC is providing health care, education and livelihoods services.

For more than three decades, refugees from Myanmar have sought safe haven in neighboring Thailand. The IRC is aiding nearly 140,000 refugees in nine camps along the border, providing food and water, health care and sanitation, protection for children and women, and legal assistance and resettlement processing. In Myanmar, we are working in some of the most remote areas to provide health care, water and and sanitation services, livelihoods training, and support for community development projects.

Millions on the Move Responding to the world’s worst displacement crisis

4 IRC Annual Report 2015

In 2015, a daunting humanitarian crisis gripped the world: The number of people driven from their homes by war and persecution surpassed 60 million. That’s 42,500 people on the move every day, more than at any time since World War II. In Syria alone, six years of conflict has displaced 12 million people—one half of the country’s population. More than 4 million Syrians have fled to neighboring countries and 1 million more to Europe.

Throughout the year, the IRC was in the thick of the action, working to make a difference in more than 40 countries and 26 U.S. cities. The IRC is the only international relief agency working on all fronts of the Syrian crisis, assisting those displaced inside Syria and those who have sought refuge in neighboring countries, Europe and the U.S.

On the following pages, we highlight the IRC’s work on the frontlines.

5 The Syrian Refugee Crisis IRC Annual Report 2015

Jordan: Bringing the clinic to the patient More than 80 percent of the 635,000 registered Syrian refugees in Jordan live outside formal refugee camps, making it difficult for them to access basic services. To meet their needs, the IRC operates clinics where they live, providing health care, counseling and medication at no cost. And if patients are unable to travel to clinics, the IRC mobile clinic comes to them.

The IRC’s community health volunteers, who receive a small stipend for their work, also bring health care to refugees and their Jordanian neighbors in cities and towns close to the northern border, including Irbid and Marfaq. Each team of volunteers visits six to eight families a day, identifying the sick and gathering information about their symptoms, medical histories and health concerns.

The volunteers understand the challenges and frustrations of life as a refugee because many of them have experienced it firsthand. Mohammed Al Zoubani, a 45-year-old former teacher, himself fled Dara’a when barrel-bomb attacks became a daily occurrence in his neighborhood. 6 How We Help Since 2012, the IRC and its partners have: Left: Mohammed Al Zoubani, an IRC community health volunteer, Reached 3.3 million people inside Syria and in Jordan, Iraq, Turkey and Lebanon provides information about health with vital services and support. services to Syrian refugees living in Jordan.

Fatima, age 16, future architect: “I’ve always wanted to be an architect. When I was young, people told me that this is not something a woman could achieve. They encouraged me to pursue a more ‘feminine’ profession. But I dreamt constantly of making beautiful homes for families, and designing buildings that bring people joy. When I achieve my vision, I hope to be a model for other girls, showing them that you should never give up on your dream, no matter what others say.”
