@RESCUEorg @newhumanitarian @DMiliband “BTW: Staff who respond on behalf of @RESCUEorg communications generally do not identify themselves, even in emails, which is an unusual practice for most aid orgs.”
@RESCUEorg @newhumanitarian @DMiliband “ This suggests not only that the @RESCUEorg copy-pastes old talking points for journalists, but also for sending missives to its own staff”
“An internal “learning exercise” of the Gaza response, shared with @newhumanitarian described growing tensions between @RESCUEorg staff & leadership. Staff spoke of opaque decision-making, unusual interference at the board & leadership level, & poor communication & duty of care”
🚨 New newsletter: Inklings explores all things aid and aid-adjacent. Today: The ICC, the IRC, and the ERC. buff.ly/3CKTlGb
🗣️ “IRC needs to listen to staff when they say they are uncomfortable,” an internal review warned. As Gaza destruction escalates, the rift between aid staff and leaders widens: buff.ly/3YYIO1q
Great thread @EndToxicAid Additionally, the political affiliations and ambitions of @DMiliband @MadlinSadler have also compromised @RESCUEorg’s ability to uphold basic humanitarian principles. This has had a devastating impact on the response and org itself. Beyond shameful.
Gaza’s plight and IRC’s self-censorship highlight an uncomfortable truth in the aid sector: Political pressures compromise the mission to uphold humanity and neutrality
Gaza’s plight and IRC’s self-censorship highlight an uncomfortable truth in the aid sector: Political pressures compromise the mission to uphold humanity and neutrality
The IRC’s issues reflect broader tensions within the aid sector, where Global South staff demand alignment with humanitarian principles, clashing with Global North leadership's cautious approach
Internal IRC documents warned of "a continuing rift" between leadership and staff Employees who raised concerns were labeled “exaggerating and emotional.”
Amid Gaza’s ongoing humanitarian crisis, staff noted IRC’s hesitancy to address Israeli actions alienates its frontline workforce, especially Middle Eastern employees
In August, staff demanded transparency about removed articles and altered messaging A survey revealed employees felt they were being forced to misrepresent facts, highlighting a rift with leadership
An anonymous staff letter signed by 580 IRC employees criticized the muted response It stated: “At a time when voices in the West increasingly dehumanize our communities, our silence...is profoundly harmful.”
In July, IRC's public silence on Gaza became apparent While other NGOs issued joint statements, IRC refrained, raising questions about political influence and priorities
Leadership edited a high-traffic explainer page, erasing attributions for the killings of Palestinians and rephrasing the text to align with Israeli narratives Many staff call this a violation of humanitarian neutrality, because it is
IRC staff flagged altered articles, such as those about Gaza’s health system collapse Mentions of "mass graves" and "starvation" were removed, with language shifting to spotlight Hamas over Israeli actions
International Rescue Committee (@RESCUEorg) faces internal criticism for censorship and bias regarding Gaza Staff accuse leadership of softening language critical of Israeli actions, removing mentions of Palestine, and reframing aid blockades Thread 🧵
Yup! It’s time for new leadership at @RESCUEorg Cc: @DMiliband @MadlinSadler
What's going on at IRC? Has its leadership been compromised by its political ambitions?
As Gaza destruction escalates, the rift between aid staff and leaders widens: ⬇️ buff.ly/3ZisqKr
The additional commentary from the PRESIDENT of the news outlet, was completely unnecessary & speaks to the gross relationship and cover provided to unethical leaders like @DMiliband & @MadlinSadler. Shame on you @raj_devex.
The entire segment between three non-humanitarians was not only tone deaf but insulting to staff facing difficult circumstances. IRC staff trusted @Rob_Merrick with their story and were already well represented in the piece below:
"Anger" of London staffers revealed after IRC President and CEO David Miliband acknowledges "IRC’s systems" struggled to cope with "growing deficit.” devex.com/news/exclusive…
After last week’s powerful exclusive from @Rob_Merrick on the anger surrounding IRC staff layoffs & distrust of leadership, @devex President @raj_devex deemed it appropriate to do a clean up job for his pal @DMiliband in his weekly podcast with @AnnaGawel3 & @daveainsworth4 🧵
Tune in to the latest episode of our podcast series as Devex President and EiC @raj_devex sits down with Managing Editor @AnnaGawel3 and Business Editor @daveainsworth4 to discuss the top global development stories from the past week. Listen here⬇️ devex.com/news/public-he…
