It didn’t seem possible, John, but in many parts of the world the global pandemic is getting even worse.

As we speak, COVID-19 is spreading to fragile and crisis-affected countries like Syria and Yemen — places with many of the world’s displaced people.

While we don't know how bad these outbreaks may be, we do know this: the IRC will be there to support the families who are hardest hit by this emergency, thanks to you.

Today and through midnight tomorrow ONLY, your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar to help people impacted by the double threat of COVID-19 and displacement, as well as other crises worldwide.

We have little time to spare. Just look at how COVID-19 is already impacting some of the most vulnerable places on Earth:
In Northeast Syria, COVID-19 cases spiked 1,000% in August and access to testing is extremely limited.

In Yemen, more than half of the country's health facilities are no longer functioning and COVID-19 is spreading undetected.

In Uganda, where they have been under a national emergency since March, intimate partner violence has risen significantly but a nationwide lockdown has made it harder for survivors to seek support.

There is a great need to act quickly and expand our response. Will you act quickly to help us respond to the spread of COVID-19 and other emergencies worldwide?

Join this FLASH MATCH today to make TWICE the impact in our ability to help families survive, recover and rebuild their lives in the face of COVID-19 and other crises.

John, these are just a few examples of how any donation, no matter how small or large, can potentially save lives — especially when doubled today:
$21 = $42 today and could provide medical care for 2 children

$63 = $126 today and could provide 6 baby kits with soap and diapers

$108 = $216 today and could provide 16 families with temporary shelter

$225 = $450 today and could provide 10 COVID-19 hygiene kits

$500 = $1,000 today and could equip 2 mobile medical clinics


John, don't miss out on the chance to DOUBLE your impact for those experiencing a DOUBLE threat during COVID-19 and in crisis zones worldwide.

Together, we can help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus among the world's most vulnerable populations and continue to provide life-saving programming uninterrupted in the 40 countries where IRC works.

Thank you for stepping up for refugees who need you now.


All gifts, up to $100,000, will be matched by a generous donor, until September 30, 2020 at midnight. Your donation will be used where it is needed most.
