February 11, 2025
Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo – Humanitarians working in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are committed to continuing to provide assistance to civilians, despite ongoing violence and insecurity.
The region has been plagued by conflict for decades, and the humanitarian situation remains dire. Millions of people have been displaced from their homes, and many are in desperate need of food, water, shelter, and medical care.
Humanitarian organizations are working around the clock to meet the needs of the affected population. They are providing food, water, shelter, and medical care to those in need, and they are also working to protect civilians from violence.
However the ongoing violence and insecurity is making it increasingly difficult for humanitarians to safely and effectively reach those in need, humanitarian organizations are committed to continuing their work.
Sandra Espejo, DRC Country Director, Save the Children said;
“The situation in eastern DRC is incredibly challenging, but we are committed to staying and delivering assistance to those who need it most.”
“We will not be deterred by violence or insecurity. We will continue to work to reach those in need, and we will continue to advocate for their protection.”
The humanitarian community is calling on all parties to the conflict to respect international humanitarian law and to allow humanitarian organizations to safely and effectively deliver assistance to those in need.
The humanitarian community is also calling on the international community to provide more support to the humanitarian response in eastern DRC.
The humanitarian crisis in eastern DRC is one of the most severe in the world. Humanitarians are committed to continuing to provide assistance to those in need, but they need more support from the international community.
