More than 190,000 people, half of them children, have been displaced in eastern DRC due to a resurgence of violence as security forces battle M23 rebels, UN says
Since March,"more than 190,000 people, half of them children, have been forced to leave their villages in the Rutshuru and Nyiragongo areas" of North Kivu province, says UN's children's agency.
Thousands of children have been forced to flee their homes in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo where security forces are battling M23 rebels, the UN's children's agency said. The situation is likely to persist as people are afraid to return home, said Leaity who recently visited the Rutshuru area where he met with those displaced."Displaced families and host families are in urgent need of food, household items, health and water assistance, hygiene and sanitation," UNICEF said.
