The International Committee to Save thousands of employees has been retrenched due to the suspension of US aid

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) has announced that it has laid off thousands of employees or sent them on forced leave due to the continued suspension of US foreign aid funding.

In a statement that the organization sent to an international media specializing in the coverage of humanitarian aid news, it is stated: “We were forced to immediately take serious measures to reduce costs, including the dismissal and forced leave of thousands of IRC employees around the world.

This organization has named the suspension of American foreign aid and the problems in accessing financial resources paid by the American government as the two main factors of this crisis.
