A great interview with a well informed person on the ground level. Unfortunately, a tragic human story that has been in the making for some time and complicated by government and regional politics.IRC does a great job in unimagainable circumstances.
Great interview. The International Rescue Committee seems to be doing great work. Thanks for the informative discussion.
Thanks, very informative. I'd like to hear more from Nora Love.
