King donates to charity’s humanitarian work in Syria The King has made a donation to the International Rescue Committee UK’s (IRC UK) humanitarian work in Syria.
Khusbu Patel, IRC UK’s acting executive director, said: “As the UK patron of the IRC since 2021, His Majesty’s contribution underscores his deep commitment to addressing urgent global challenges, and helping people affected by humanitarian crises to survive, recover and rebuild their lives.
Charles is patron of the UK arm of the IRC and his undisclosed donation will help the work of the charitable company which is providing a range of services, including distributing 2,400 hygiene kits to families in emergency shelters and offering trauma care and mental health support.
Syria’s citizens have been given a glimmer of hope following the overthrow of the country’s dictator Bashar Assad but the IRC said the nation ranks fourth on its 2025 Emergency Watchlist and continues to face profound humanitarian needs despite recent political developments.
“We are immensely grateful to His Majesty the King for his donation supporting our work in Syria.”.
