"I lived in the camp for over a year. We suffered a lot and had too little food," a displaced Congolese person expressed, highlighting the dire conditions in overcrowded camps and the constant struggle for survival. Even after returning home, he faced immense hardships, including increased looting and danger to his life, forcing many to cycle back to the camps in search of safety. This cycle of displacement underlines the tragic consequences of ongoing conflicts in the region.
Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi addressed the UN General Assembly, asserting that, "The resurgence of terrorist group M23, supported by Rwanda, has provoked a humanitarian crisis without precedent." This statement emphasizes the severe impact of ongoing conflicts and the necessity for international intervention to help stabilize the situation. Over 7 million individuals in the DRC are reported to be internally displaced, reflecting the urgency of international attention.
