“The rebels stole all
our cassava and rice,” says Dieudonné Dounea, the father of
two-year-old Nathan, who arrived at an IRC-supported hospital in
the town of Kaga Bandoro near death from starvation. The IRC's
Peter Biro reports on how we are helping in a country where
political chaos and rampant violence threaten millions of people
without making global headlines.
As Syria's civil war rages
on, families inside the country and around the region are facing what
may be an unusually harsh winter without adequate shelter or enough to
eat. "There is a winter from hell coming for millions of
people," says IRC president David Miliband. The IRC and our
partners are providing emergency support to hundreds of thousands of
refugees and displaced Syrians.
