Democratic Republic of the Congo: saving lives, rebuilding livelihoods
This gallery contains images and excerpts from a new ICRC photo exhibition that provides a fresh look at the humanitarian situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It depicts the central human concerns arising out of years of violence in which hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives, focusing on key issues such as child soldiers, sexual violence, health, water, economic security, helping abandoned communities, reuniting families and 'fighting right', and provides an overview of what the ICRC is doing to tackle these challenges.

'Fighting right'

The ICRC pursued efforts to promote the systematic integration of IHL into the training of the new armed forces of the DRC. The organization also conducted regular information sessions on IHL for UN force officers, Congolese army and police officers. 53 IHL refresher courses for military instructors were held at army integration camps. 410 senior officers, 2,506 officers and troops, and 616 police officers were briefed on IHL in the first half of 2006.
