[2X MATCH] Many will die without urgent assistance. You can help, John.
 
4/5/2022 UKRAINE UPDATE: John, The IRC is shocked and appalled at the senseless killing of civilians in Bucha. Civilian life must be protected — the world cannot afford to bear witness to yet another crisis. As we continue to welcome refugees crossing into Poland, which has surpassed 2.5 million who have crossed the border, our hearts are with the people who continue to suffer in Ukraine. Here and in places like Afghanistan and Yemen, families fleeing violence need support to survive, recover and rebuild their lives. Your gift — doubled today — can provide 2X the critical aid to families in crisis around the world »

John,

I wrote to you last week, just before Ramadan began, about the growing hunger crisis in Afghanistan which is directly impacted by conflict in Ukraine. 23 million Afghans, including millions of children, are facing extreme levels of hunger this Ramadan. Many will die without urgent assistance.

While much of the world's attention lies on the conflict in Ukraine, its consequences will be dire and have a wide ripple effect and impact millions of lives, including those who face hunger in Afghanistan and Yemen. These emergencies are directly interconnected, John.

That's why we announced a special limited-time Ramadan match to meet this moment of exceptional need. With your help, we can reach twice as many families in crisis zones like Afghanistan with emergency food, clean water, and medical care.

Today and through Ramadan, your generosity can make 2X the difference for children and families facing hunger. Please, send in your urgent gift today to help us reach people in need in Afghanistan, Yemen, and around the world.
 
 
 
 
As a member of the IRC team focused on Afghanistan, I've seen firsthand how desperate the situation on the ground is. Parents are facing the torture of not having enough to feed their families. Children are going to bed hungry, or even dropping out of school to work to afford food.

Many families — too many families — simply cannot afford to eat. Some have resorted to eliminating meals during the day, limiting how much they eat at each meal, or eating less nourishing food just to survive.

Please, John, there is no time to spare. Send in your emergency gift today to help us reach 2X as many families with critical services and support.

Thank you for all you do,

Madiha Raza
