[HIGHLIGHTS] DRC: the UN calls for mobilizing $2.6 billion to finance a humanitarian response plan

DRC: the UN calls for mobilizing $2.6 billion to finance a humanitarian response plan. In 2023, the fundraising appeal was only 40% funded.

Nearly 25.4 million people in the DRC are food insecure. The situation of children is particularly worrying, with more than a million of them deprived of education due to armed conflicts. The DRC, with its unique environmental, mining and tourism potential, could bring enormous value to the world if it found peace, says Modeste Mutinga Mutushayi.
