UN Warns of Worsening Crisis in Congo as Rebel Violence Increases

The UN statement regarding the DRC crisis mentions the potential escalation of the situation.

The director for UN human rights operations predicts that the current situation in the DRC will deteriorate into a potential humanitarian disaster for the nation. Recent violence coupled with extensive displacement together with severe human rights violations make millions of people completely lose hope.

Rebel forces and Domestic government troops continue their battles which drives people from their homes and generates large groups of displaced people who lack access to basic necessities such as food medical care and proper shelter. The ongoing crisis results in the death of numerous victims and creates heavy challenges for relief groups that aim to serve the increasing needs in affected regions.

The United Nations drives the world to take immediate steps toward preventing additional widespread human suffering. A rising number of conflicts coupled with declining resources demand urgent world intervention to support the population of the Democratic Republic of the Congo as well as the establishment of long-term peace.
