Relief Assessment Begins in DR Congo

In response to the crisis in North Kivu, FH is looking into what gaps there are in humanitarian aid. At least 250,000 have been displaced in this region due to armed conflict between various rebel groups and the Congolese national army in the last few months. Living conditions of people in the displaced camps are marked with the lack of sanitation, food items and education structures. In Rutshuru area alone over 85% of schools have shut down due to insecurity.

FH is sending a relief assessment team to Goma, the provincial capital of North Kivu today to determine a potential relief response.
