we had the south african republic, south sudan, and ukraine. we had libya that started again recently. crises erupt everywhere in an unpredictable way. then, finally, the old crises that never die. afghanistan, somalia have both been there for decades. with millions of refugees, the combination of these three factors, that is only possible because, as i said, the international community is unable to present the conflict and solve them. it's making more and more people forced to flee their homes to reach safety. there's an exponential growth and the capacity to respond is limited because budgets are tight everywhere. we struggle to be able to protect and support these people in very, very desperate situations. obviously, we need much more help from the international community in order to be able to do our job properly, in order to be able to provide these people what they need and what they deserve, because they suffered so much. we are in a desperate situation to help the people in need, and we feel we should be doing more and we can't. there a

. >> what impact it is having on your work, in south sudan and others? >> it is dramatic. we have built the largest and most complex disaster reaction response we have ever led in a multi-country manor in west africa to serve as a platform that works in liberia, guinea, sierra leone. to do that and have the resources to move his best we have, we have had to draw people and resources from many other settings around the world, including south sudan, where there is potential famine that could lead to a lot of young children dying through no fault of their own because her not getting enough food and medical support. to syria where there is 11 , million people in humanitarian need. it continues to be the world's major humanitarian active throughout that region. from afghanistan to haiti to all over the world, we are under more humanitarian pressure than we have ever been, certainly during my tenure. that is why this ebola funding request to congress is so critical. it we are going to sustain the level of effort we have put in, the only way to do it is by having an emergency fun

and i went to visit some of the survivors, and the-- a woman in charge of our team in south sudan hadk from visiting her family in uganda, and she said to me, "i'm determined to come back because these people here deserve some help." and that's the kind of people who are working for us. and that's the kind of people i think make a difference around the world. >> stephen: well, if you do decide to run for president of the united states, you have my support. >> will the colbert nation become part of rescue nation? >> stephen: or that's an interesting thing. the show is ending in december. the colbert nation needs something to do. what if they became part of rescue nation? >> tag up at the i.r.c., visit rescue.org, the web site, join the effort to really make a difference around the world. >> stephen: thank you, david. david miliband, international rescue committee. we'll be right back. thank you.

you got back from south sudan, which is one of the scariest places in the world right now.ou got 15% of the population displaced. there's a threat of famine for millions of people. it's a terrible place. what are you seeing there? >> it's difficult. i mean, we went there as an organization before the counter conflict. we were there in december 2012. and we had chosen in three states, john lee, upper nile and unity, which we thought were sort of the fragile states inside the country. and we started to train youths in jonglei state. they did a great job. unfortunately the war broke out, the civil war. it scattered people. because of technology training and human training, they started to help people get to safety. they acted in some ways as a first response unit by helping friends across ethnic lines, because it's not only a issue. >> tribal. >> so they activated that. when they came in, we worked with them to relocate or help them get situated as best we could. and started working in the protection civilian camps. our largest project has moved to eastern equatorial, and we a

last year we have south african republic, south sudan, now ukraine, we have libya, that's started again recently. so crisis erupt everywhere in an unpredictable way, an then finally, all crisis seem never to die. afghanistan has been there for decades, somalia has been there for decades with millions of refugee. the democratic republic of congo has been there for decades. so the combination of these three factors, that is only possible because, as i said, international community is unable to prevent the conflict, and to solve them is making more and more people forced to flee their homes to be safe. >> all right. meaning that the weakest people are always affected by these situations. you said the international committee must apply more. how is your agency approaching this daunting tass nk and how should the international community respond to it? >> as you can emergency we are overwhelmed by the situation. 14,000 people fled their homes per day because of conflict. in 2012, 23,000. in 2013, 32,000. i believe it will be worse in 2014, because of the iraq crisis. and so as you can imagine

and so that really changed my perception of sudan.nd there were other countries i went through like that as well. indonesia, the people were just delightful. indonesia was a great favorite of mine and, i think unless sudan.
