UN Warning on Hunger Crisis
Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ituri, 14 April 2022 The number of displaced people in this area of the country are on the rise due to an increase in clashes involving armed groups. Hostilities between the Government and armed groups and between armed groups themselves, including heavy bombardments are forcing more and more people to abandon their homes in search of safety with a negative impact on their food security.
