“We call on all parties to stop the fighting and allow communities to rebuild their lives”!
“ We are so proud of the NRC team in Myanmar for being awarded a Certificate of Honor for their heroic contribution in the recent flooding in Ayeyarwaddy Region”!
“They overcame every obstacle with brilliance to deliver necessities, such as clothes and blankets, to five different villages with boats along the river.”
The agency also disclosed through its social media contact pages that it has been involved in settling refugees in the very tensed and restive Region of Mosul where the Islamic militant group:I.S.I.S have battled forces from Syria,Turkey,Russia,Kurds amongst others recently .
The agency  has also been working behind the front lines in Afghanistan and Pakistan as it tries to heal the world of crisis
The body while explaining pointed out that the likes of Najma (10) and Hassan were among the first thousand who have fled the surrounding areas of Mosul in North-Iraq after the offensive begun.
"We don’t know how many will come tonight. We don’t know how many will come tomorrow. Nobody has yet fled from the city itself, where there are more than one million people. So it’s a huge task in front of us, and we’re really racing against time to be able to respond well to this,” says our colleague,” Karl Schembri.

“We have nothing here. We are homeless and our skin is burning under the sun,” says Zaria.
In the last four months, more than 150,000 Afghan refugees, like Zaria, have returned from Pakistan to Afghanistan, creating an emergency of a scale humanitarian organizations were not prepared to tackle.”
