Thank you to every single person who has signed our Iraq Humanitarian Pledge.

As you may know, for each person who signs the pledge, $1 in additional funds will be donated to support our work in Jordan and Syria where nearly 2 million Iraqi refugees are living in fear and isolation. So far we have collected more than 10,000 signatures and raised more than $10,000 in additional emergency funds. To help us reach our goal of 60,000 signatures, please spread the word to your friends today.

To learn more about the humanitarian situation in Iraq, you can read our recent Q & A about conditions on the ground, “Iraqis Living in Squalor - Q & A with IRC Program Director Aidan Goldsmith.”
