NEARLY HALF A MILLION PEOPLE LEFT WITHOUT SHELTER, FOOD OR WATER IN DR CONGO AMID DESTRUCTION OF DISPLACEMENT SITES AND AID CUTS

Over 450,000 people are left without shelter, food or water in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) following the destruction of thirteen displacements sites in Goma, Oxfam warns. The crisis is increasingly alarming following the takeover of Bukavu, the capital city of South Kivu while funding cuts hinder the capacity of remaining humanitarian organisations to respond.
