Violence between M23 rebels and the Congolese army has escalated, prompting a mass exodus of civilians from the Nzulo camp in eastern Congo. The M23's capture of significant towns like Minova and Masisi has disrupted supply routes to the region’s capital, Goma. This intensification of conflict in a region already fraught with turmoil—home to over 100 armed groups vying for control of lucrative mineral resources—has resulted in more than 237,000 displaced individuals this year alone, significantly worsening the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
The UN reports that more than 237,000 people have been displaced this year, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the region.
