Up early? Me too.
As this challenging year comes to a close, I can't help but think about the children and families in Gaza who are nearing famine... or displaced Ukrainian families who are facing the harsh winter season without heat or a home. It's especially difficult for them at night, John... they need blankets, coats and warm shelter.
If you're awake right now, can I ask you to be one of the first to donate and help kick off this critical day for refugees around the world?
A generous donor has stepped up to offer an exclusive New Year's Eve 4X match—quadrupling your impact instantly.
(Gaza, Palestine) Yaqin Ahmed, a Community-Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) Provider, treating a child for malnutrition using MUAC (mid-upper arm circumference) tape, used to help identify cases of malnutrition.
John, it's important that you know just how much your gift matters to refugee children and their families.
With famine likely imminent, if not already underway in parts of northern Gaza, IRC nutrition officer Rowida Al-Sabbah and her team focus on providing valuable dietary and nutritional guidance to displaced people—a need that is especially acute among children and pregnant women.

"The deterioration of the health situation has led to an increase in the prevalence of acute malnutrition rates and an increase in the risk of malnutrition among citizens, in particular among vulnerable groups of pregnant and lactating mothers and children under the age of five.
They need your support to provide more services in light of the conditions the Gaza Strip is experiencing, and the disastrous situation we are living in. Although we provide services, the need is still great. With your support and encouragement, we can reach the largest possible number."
—Rowida, IRC Nutrition Officer

Your New Year's Eve donation could help nourish 4X the children at risk for malnutrition. It could help deliver 4X the winter supplies, including warm blankets and coats. It could help the IRC provide 4X the health care, sanitation supplies and protection services for women and children in crisis zones around the world. These are just a few examples.
It comes down to this: Today your gift helps even more. That's why I'm hoping you'll step up early with a gift that will be 4X MATCHED. Please rush your New Year's Eve donation right now.
The IRC continues to call for an immediate and lasting ceasefire as the only way to protect Palestinian lives, secure the release of the remaining hostages, and safely scale up humanitarian assistance and service delivery.
