Where a child is born should never determine whether they have the chance to grow up healthy.

This #WorldImmunizationWeek, we’re celebrating a major milestone: 30 million doses delivered and 1 million "zero-dose" children reached in some of the world’s most fragile and conflict-affected areas, places where government health services often cannot reach.

By negotiating humanitarian access and using everything from satellite mapping to high-tech cold-chain backpacks, the IRC’s Gavi-funded REACH program ensures that even in the most vulnerable settings, no child is left unprotected.

Our teams on the ground across Chad, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan and Somalia, are reaching communities cut off by conflict and disaster.

Immunization is one of the most cost effective ways to save lives. However, in crisis-affected communities, immunization coverage remains dangerously low. REACH has proven that immunization equity is not only achievable but affordable. Now it’s time to scale it.

Meet the mobile health team traveling by boat to reach cut-off communities 🛶

In Tenekou, central Mali, climate change is making rainy seasons more extreme, with entire villages cut off for months at a time—reachable only by water.

So when the rains come, the IRC mobile health team swaps cars for boats to continue delivering life‑saving care.

Mohamed, the team’s primary doctor, screens children for malnutrition, treating children as young as 12 months. Meanwhile, obstetric nurse Fatoumata supports pregnant women with check‑ups and prenatal care.

These journeys matter. Mali is facing one of the most underreported humanitarian crises on the planet, with over 400,000 people displaced and one million children at risk of acute malnutrition.

Despite growing barriers and funding gaps, support from @eu_echo is helping expand the IRC’s ongoing emergency response for displaced communities here.

This is what it looks like to refuse to leave people behind.

Three years since conflict erupted in Sudan, a preventable catastrophe has escalated into one of the largest and fastest growing humanitarian crises in the world.

Relentless violence, mass displacement and economic collapse have pushed millions of people in Sudan and across the region to the brink.

Our teams are bringing critical support to families who have nowhere else to turn. But the scale of need is outpacing the response.

Without urgent action to scale up funding and end the violence, this crisis will continue to spiral out of control.

This is the reality of life for families in Lebanon right now.

Wael and his family are living out of their car on Beirut’s waterfront, after Israeli airstrikes forced them from their home. From the trunk, he cooks meals for his four children, turning it into a makeshift kitchen.

This isn’t the first time they’ve fled. They were displaced before, in 2024.

“It rained yesterday, and everything got wet. It was a tough night for everyone here,” says Wael. “Once the war is over, I will take this tent back to my town, as my house was destroyed.”

Nearby, 50-year-old Samer is sheltering in two small tents, while his wife, who is ill, sleeps in the family car with an IV drip in her arm. The waterfront has become an informal camp for many people forced from southern Lebanon and Beirut’s southern suburbs.

“People need tents, blankets, medication, and food,” Samer explains. “You can say we need everything.”

This week, Lebanon endured one of the heaviest days of violence in years, including more than 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes, killing more than 300 hundred people and injuring thousands more. Families are being displaced repeatedly and seeking safety wherever they can, given collective shelters are already largely at capacity.

Our teams are working to reach displaced families with essential relief items, as well as psychosocial support and referrals to counseling services for those coping with trauma.

No child should ever have to worry about navigating a warzone.

Since the escalation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, Israeli airstrikes and evacuation orders across large areas of southern Lebanon have forced families from their homes,

Today, a child as young as 5 in Lebanon will have known two wars and possibly even been forcibly displaced multiple times by them. While the reality is stark, still, hope exists.

The IRC is on the ground in Lebanon providing essential relief items, such as food and bedding, as well as critical mental health and child protection support.

We call on all parties to respect international humanitarian law, protect civilians and civilian infrastructure and prevent further suffering.

Lebanon’s children must be protected.

This is what a forgotten hunger crisis looks like.

In Yemen, years of conflict and displacement have devastated livelihoods and made it harder for families to access basic health and nutrition. Millions are being pushed to the brink—while the humanitarian response remains severely underfunded.

IRC’s Joanna Nahorska reports from a health facility in Al Mocha, where our teams are providing critical care for mothers and children.

Here’s how Francis’ bunnies are helping him bounce back from hard times.

Raised on his father’s farm in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Francis and his siblings were forced to flee their home when he was just 15.

In Uganda, a combination of limited opportunities and discrimination against refugees made it hard for him to earn a living and support his growing family. But with help from a sympathetic landlady, and from the IRC’s and IKEA Foundation’s Re:BUiLD program, he was able to start building his own business.

As well as using the farming knowledge he’d gained while growing up, Francis decided to try something new, rearing rabbits and producing an insecticide from their urine, which he uses to treat his own plants and sells to other farmers.

Happy Easter weekend!

Here’s how Francis’ bunnies are helping him bounce back from hard times.

Raised on his father’s farm in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Francis and his siblings were forced to flee their home when he was just 15.

In Uganda, a combination of limited opportunities and discrimination against refugees made it hard for him to earn a living and support his growing family. But with help from a sympathetic landlady, and from the IRC’s and IKEA Foundation’s Re:BUiLD program, he was able to start building his own business.

As well as using the farming knowledge he’d gained while growing up, Francis decided to try something new, rearing rabbits and producing an insecticide from their urine, which he uses to treat his own plants and sells to other farmers.

Happy Easter weekend!

Fuel is the backbone of humanitarian response.

The disruption caused by the war in Iran could become a full-scale deterioration in humanitarian conditions, hitting the world’s poorest communities the hardest. Without supply chains being restored or an injection of funding to counter rising costs, this will translate directly into more people going without the services they rely on to survive.

The IRC is doing all it can to deliver aid to the world’s most vulnerable. Learn more about our work at Rescue.org
