Proud to support the IRC (@RESCUEOrg) at their annual Gala! Their work in Lebanon, helping displaced families access shelter, healthcare and safety, is precisely the kind of impact ATFL admires. We were proud to present them with the Ray R. Irani Lifetime Achievement Award at ATFL's Annual Dinner in September. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to those in crisis. #IRC #Lebanon #Humanitarian

The IRC is scaling up support, but more funding for these critical lifelines is needed. Read more in @KellyRazzouk’s piece for @TIME: time.com/article/2026/05/27/…

“These kids were filled with so much hope, still. But they need the world to catch up with them. They need that global support.”
The International Rescue Committee’s @KellyRazzouk recently travelled to Lebanon and met with some of the over 360,000 children there who have been forcibly displaced. On @BBCNews, she makes the urgent case for donors to fund the aid that these children desperately need:
More donor support is urgently needed to address the mounting humanitarian needs in #Lebanon. I spoke to @BBCWorld @SumiSomaskanda about what is at stake. @RESCUEorg rescue.org/press-release/two…

Today, three American citizens and one American green-card holder who were unjustly imprisoned in Russia are finally coming home.
Since taking office, President Biden and Vice President Harris have made clear that they will not stop working until every American wrongfully detained or held hostage around the world is reunited with their family.
