The World Food Programme (WFP) reports the total number of food-dependent individuals in Burundi has increased to 120,000, with resources stretched dangerously thin. WFP requires an additional $19.8 million to sustain operations through the year, as they have already cut rations by half. The situation highlights the severe humanitarian needs stemming from a deteriorating security situation in eastern DRC.
The ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has led to a massive refugee crisis, prompting the need for urgent humanitarian support.
