Jan Egeland, leader of the Norwegian Refugee Council, condemned the neglect of humanitarian crises in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), particularly as violence surges. He highlighted the dire conditions faced by over 1.2 million displaced individuals around Goma, living in overcrowded and unsanitary camps. Egeland criticized the reduction in aid from Europe and the US, attributing it to rising nationalism. He called for these leaders to acknowledge and respond to the long-standing suffering of DRC's civilians, who are enduring brutal living conditions and dire poverty amidst ongoing conflict.
The living conditions in Goma's displacement camps, with overflowing latrines and overcrowded shelters, exemplify the subhuman reality faced by those fleeing violence in the DRC.
Egeland criticized global leaders for their neglect of the humanitarian crisis in the DRC, emphasizing the urgent need for international attention and aid.
