Médecins Sans Frontières
(also known as MSF or Doctors Without Borders) delivers emergency
aid to victims of armed conflict, epidemics, and natural and
man-made disasters, and to others who lack health care due
to social or geographical isolation. Founded in 1971 by a
group of French doctors, who believed that all people have
the right to medical care and that the needs of these people
supersede respect for national borders, MSF was the first
non-governmental organization to both provide emergency medical
assistance and publicly bear witness to the plight of the
populations they served.
The International Rescue Committee
(IRC) was founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein
to assist opponents of Hitler. Today, the IRC is a leading
non-sectarian, voluntary organization providing emergency
relief, protection and resettlement for refugees or victims
of oppression or violent conflict in nearly 30 countries around
the world.
