The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives.

Founded in 1933, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster.

At work today in over 40 countries, the IRC aims to restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure.

Since early July, almost 70,000 refugees and migrants have landed in Southern Italy, particularly in the island of Lampedusa, including 5496 Unaccompanied and Separated Children (UASC hereafter).

Between September 22 and October 6 2023, the IRC Italy team conducted a rapid multi-sectoral assessment in Sicily, Calabria, Lazio, Lombardy and Piedmont to determine the needs and challenges of people who have arrived in Southern Italy by sea in the last three months.

Since mid-October IRC Italy will set up three roving teams to provide information, referrals, NFIs to people in transit and in emergency reception centers.
