Influencer Angels for Refugees & Humanitarian Crises 
Since its inception in 1933 by founder Albert Einstein, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) has provided clean water, shelter, health care, education & empowerment support to refugees & displaced people around the world. The current pandemic has increased the humanitarian needs across the Middle East, including for refugees. Nowhere is this more critical than in Syria where the healthcare system has already been decimated by years of war and attacks. What is urgently needed to improve the health and wellbeing of people affected by the Syrian crisis? How are high-profile IRC supporters leveraging their influence to garner global awareness & support for life-saving humanitarian programs?
