Humanitarian situation in the DRC
-
In 2021, the DRC has faced a long, acute and complex humanitarian crisis marked by population movements, acute food insecurity, acute malnutrition, epidemics, and protection issues.
-
In the east of the country, renewed outbreaks of conflict have had disastrous impacts on the civilian population, raising concerns about their protection and the need to upscale multi-sectoral assistance to tens of thousands of displaced people. At the same time, recurrent outbreaks of disease stretch health capacities to the limit. According to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, 19.6 million people are in phase 3 or above.

Acute humanitarian needs are concentrated in the North Kivu, South Kivu, Ituri, Tanganyika and Maniema provinces as well as in some provinces of the Greater Kasai. Yet, the Humanitarian Response Plan is only funded at 37.4% (as of Dec 2021).

In 2021, 9.6 million people are targeted for humanitarian assistance in the DRC.
