What's happening in DRC?

Description

The story of Jean Baptiste Munyanzinza and his family. They live in one of the sites after they fled attacks at their home. The site provides emergency shelters, latrines, drinking water supplies, psycho-social support services. Violent clashes between non-state armed groups and government forces have forcibly displaced more than 450,000 people in the last six weeks in Rutshuru and Masisi territories in North Kivu Province. The severity of the crisis is further exacerbated by the limited humanitarian access to those in dire need, primarily due to the obstruction of major routes. Cut off from essential humanitarian aid, approximately 200,000 internally displaced people are currently stranded. Tragically, an additional 100,000 people are anticipated to confront restricted access in the coming days if the current trends of conflict persist. In Bushagara in the Nyiragongo territory in North Kivu, over 15,000 people have benefited from emergency shelters at a site built by UNHCR and other partners.
