đ BREAKING NEWS: FOREIGN AID FREEZE
We are deeply alarmed by the latest news of the widespread termination of thousands of funding agreements from USAID and the U.S. State Department. The terminations threaten or cut off essential, cost-effective humanitarian programs that provide lifesaving assistance to millions of people in crisis around the world.
Vital humanitarian work has been disruptedâhalting critical assistance for many vulnerable people around the world. This is directly impacting the International Rescue Committee's work to support refugee and displaced children and families who are facing devastating humanitarian crises and unimaginable daily struggles.
These changes threaten lives and livelihoods around the world. They also threaten the IRC: our programs, our services, our clients, our organization's critical work.
Â
I know you wholeheartedly believe in this important work too, John.
That's why we are turning to you, a compassionate supporter, to ask if you can rush an immediate emergency gift right now. >>
OUR COMPASSION CAN'T BE HALTED.
Now is the moment to make an even bigger impact. A generous donor is matching every gift. People everywhere are coming together, doing all they can to help. Your emergency gift matched >>

John, the children and families we serve need you. Lives are on the line, and we canât afford to wait.
The IRC provides millions of clients facing crisis in more than 40 countries around the world with cost-efficient, simple and innovative solutions. And our teams remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting children and families most in need, wherever they are.
đ But today, funds are not flowing, critical services are being shuttered and programs are being closed.

Children like Muhammad Ali (just 10 months old) need you.
Malnutrition clinics need you.
Â
đ U.S. funding cuts could shut down 40+ IRC nutrition centers across 7 countries, putting more than 10,000 young children at risk.
Children need lifesaving treatment to overcome and survive acute malnutrition, and any interruption to this care is life-threatening.
Malnutrition is relatively simple to treat. But we need your support to continue to deliver simple, proven solutions to children living in the hardest-to-reach places.
We cannot abandon children and families in need.
Today, your support is more vital than ever. Please, will you rush your donation to help power our lifesaving work? >>

No matter what challenges lie ahead, your kindness and generosity will always bring hope to children and families who need it most.
