In January 2023, over 500,000 people have been displaced due to escalating violence in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, notably in North and South Kivu provinces. This surge in conflict has involved Rwandan-backed M23 rebels taking control of Goma, the largest city in the region. Amid this humanitarian crisis, the UN peacekeeping mission, MONUSCO, has called for international intervention, emphasizing the urgent need for coordinated action to protect civilians and address the worsening situation.
The humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate, with more than 500,000 new internally displaced people in North and South Kivu provinces in January alone.
The situation in Goma requires urgent and coordinated international action, as attacks continue to ravage the city, killing, injuring, traumatizing and displacing civilians.
