The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is facing a dire humanitarian situation as violence escalates in the eastern region, particularly in Goma. Nearly 3,000 people have reportedly died due to fierce fighting with rebels, including the M23 group, which has seized key territories and is threatening to advance further. UN officials warn of the risk of the conflict spreading to neighboring countries, while local communities flee their homes in search of safety. As the situation deteriorates, there are urgent calls for international action to address the growing crisis. Ceasefire declarations from rebel groups offer little hope as humanitarian efforts intensify to provide essential services amidst soaring food prices and widespread fear.
