#Snapshots: 2024 Wrapped

From Jordan to Sudan, see the impact you had as a supporter of our work last year.

Delivering Healthcare to Remote Areas in the DRC

With the help of the community, our teams were able to navigate difficult terrain and deliver healthcare to remote areas in the DRC.

In 2024, as conflict intensified in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, hundreds of thousands of people fled areas plagued by violence. Since January of last year, violent clashes between rebel groups and armed forces have displaced more than 400,000 people in North Kivu province, on the eastern edge of the country. More than half of those were children.

Displaced families receive consultations and medication from our team.

Our mobile medical units provide free access to primary and secondary healthcare services for displaced people and members of host communities — saving lives amid conflict.

Access to medical care should not be determined by where you are born — everyone deserves access to lifesaving healthcare. With your support, we can continue to help.

Building Self-reliance Around the World

Natural disasters such as drought and flooding can destroy farmlands, affecting people’s livelihoods and futures. We deliver gardening programs, farming equipment and emergency seed stocks so at-risk communities around the world can be more resilient when faced with the effects of extreme weather.

Marking a Decade of Service to People in Azraq Refugee Camp

We provide a wide range of services at Zaatari and Azraq refugee camps, including nutrition and pediatric care.

Life as a refugee is not easy. From leaving homes, possessions and, sometimes, family behind to navigating unknown lands, refugees face daunting challenges and uncertainties. Every day, we see their strength, resilience and willingness to do what must be done to shoulder the burden of those circumstances.

At International Medical Corps, we believe that everyone has a right to access to quality healthcare. For 10 years in Azraq Refugee Camp in Jordan, we’ve provided vital medical, mental health and other services, bringing health — and hope — to hundreds of thousands of displaced people.

Helping Refugees in South Sudan

In response to the displacement caused by civil war in Sudan, we stationed an emergency response team in the border town of Renk, South Sudan, where thousands of people have fled. Our team provided healthcare services, support services and more to people fleeing violence.

The war in Sudan is nearing the two-year mark, and the country now has the world’s largest number of displaced people — and the most significant child-displacement crisis. That’s why our work there is more important than ever.

Helping Children in Yemen

Yemen is experiencing one of the world’s most significant humanitarian crises. Almost a decade of conflict — compounded by economic collapse, natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic — has left some 80% of the country struggling to put food on the table and access essential services, including healthcare.

Our staff members test children for malnutrition.

In Yemen, childhood is too often a casualty of conflict. But we believe that every child deserves a chance at a healthy future. We’re providing essential healthcare — including nutrition support, vaccinations and medical consultations — to support vulnerable children. Our programs ensure access to care, treatment and support, to address malnutrition and prevent child deaths.

Providing Nutrition for Mothers and Their Babies in Sudan

Since April 15, 2023, Sudanese families have faced the uncertainties of war, and they are “at a catastrophic breaking point,” according to the International Organization for Migration. As displaced families struggle to survive, we work to address hunger and provide access to healthcare for millions of affected people.

With nearly 25 million people urgently needing food assistance, our nutrition services have never been more vital. In the midst of conflict, we still were able to operate 59 outpatient therapeutic programs, 59 target supplementary treatment centers and six stabilization centers for malnourished children with life-threatening medical complications. We also hosted mother-to-mother support groups where mothers can share their experiences while learning about breastfeeding and more.

Your generosity and compassion made it possible for millions of people worldwide to get lifesaving healthcare and vital support in 2024. Thank you! Working together, we’ll be there for people facing crisis, bringing health and hope to millions more in 2025!
