Displaced People Seek Aid in Eastern DRC

Hundreds of displaced people in the south of the DRC, primarily in the eastern provinces, sought refuge outside the Lubumbashi governorate on March 17-18, 2026, due to ongoing conflict. They are facing severe humanitarian conditions, lacking shelter and food, as a result of fighting between the AFC/M23, backed by Rwanda, and the FARDC. Human rights advocates are criticizing the government's response to this crisis.
