DRC: Bukavu lacking food after road blockages due to conflict with M23 in North Kivu. War has cut off traffic on the Goma-Bukavu road section and the presence of rebels in the territories from which the food came is increasingly complicating the situation.

Conflicts have blocked access to many foods such as potatoes, corn, cassava and beans. During an angry march last Thursday, civil society in South KivU proposed closing the borders with Rwanda.
