The International Rescue Committee is an organization that “seeks to bring attention to forgotten or neglected crises and to pressure governments and international organizations to take action to help and protect refugees, displaced people and other victims of conflict.”
The are working in several countries across the world, including Iraq, Uganda, Darfur and many other areas. They have a huge concentration of their program and work going into the Darfur crisis. They have a very informative statement that gives a great background on the crisis in Darfur. It also is informative on how the problem has escalated.
The site also has a very modern version of spreading news. Podcasts. There are great stories from Darfur. I highly suggest listening to some of these podcasts, they are very intense, and VERY moving. One is a translation from a 20-year-old woman who arrived at a refugee camp and in the meantime has had a child. They are both now starving and homeless.
