Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo – Humanitarians in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) remain committed to providing life-saving assistance and protection to civilians affected by the ongoing conflict in the east of the country.
Despite the challenges and risks, humanitarian organizations continue to operate in the region, delivering essential services such as food, water, shelter, healthcare, and protection to those in need.
“The humanitarian situation in eastern DRC remains dire, with millions of people displaced and in need of assistance,” said David Beasley, Executive Director of the World Food Programme (WFP). “We are committed to staying and delivering for as long as it takes, but we need more resources and support from the international community.”
The conflict in eastern DRC has been ongoing for decades, with armed groups fighting for control of territory and resources. The violence has displaced millions of people and created a humanitarian crisis.
Humanitarian organizations are working to address the needs of those affected by the conflict, but they are facing a number of challenges, including insecurity, lack of access to affected areas, and limited funding.
“We are deeply concerned about the safety of civilians in eastern DRC,” said Filippo Grandi, UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). “We call on all parties to the conflict to respect international humanitarian law and to allow humanitarian organizations to provide assistance to those in need.”
Humanitarian organizations are also working to address the root causes of the conflict, such as poverty, inequality, and lack of opportunity. They are supporting local communities to build peace and resilience, and to create a better future for all.
“We believe that a lasting solution to the crisis in eastern DRC can only be achieved through a political solution,” said Mark Lowcock, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator. “We urge all parties to the conflict to engage in dialogue and to work towards a peaceful resolution.”
Humanitarians are committed to continuing to provide assistance and protection to civilians in eastern DRC. They call on the international community to provide more resources and support, and to work towards a political solution to the conflict.
