The individual identified as the suspect is not and has never been an employee of the IRC. Our full statement: https://t.co/GaDlBbhLIu…

We are appalled by the senseless act of violence that occurred near the White House. Our thoughts are with the victims. There have been false reports that the suspect is an IRC staff member. We have confirmed that the suspect is not an employee of the IRC.

Today, the State Department terminated 10,000 State and USAID grants and other awards, effectively crippling American foreign assistance, including life-saving programs for which Secretary of State Rubio had granted waivers. Our statement ⤵️ https://t.co/UxqYIFRof3

The IRC is on the ground, supporting refugees & returnees crossing the border through key hubs, but transit centres built for 4,800 are now hosting 16,000+. More help is urgently needed.

Over 1 million people have fled the conflict in Sudan, seeking refuge in South Sudan—a staggering milestone in a deepening humanitarian crisis. Most arrive with almost nothing, straining already overstretched resources. #SouthSudan #SudanConflict

Violence against civilians is intensifying. The situation, worsening by the day, requires global support. The IRC calls for all parties to the conflict to cease hostilities and immediately allow for further scale up of assistance.

The humanitarian crisis in the DRC continues to escalate. Conflict, displacement, and limited access to essential services are affecting almost 3 million in the Eastern region. Many IRC teams in Goma are working from home, as bombs fall on the outskirts of the city.

OUR WARNING: Escalating violence in the DRC has pushed almost 3 million into displacement, nearly all of whom have limited access to basic necessities. Learn more:
