Democratic Republic of the Congo news

Years of serious violations of international humanitarian law present in the daily news, including killing, sexual violence, recruitment of child soldiers and looting, have left the displaced people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo vulnerable.

The ICRC responds to the inhabitants' most urgent needs by distributing essential household items, including tarpaulins, blankets, sleeping mats and cooking utensils.

In addition, we are creating positive news for providing seed to help kick-start farming production again.
