UNICEF: Rapid Response to Movements of Population (RRMP)
Continuing clashes between Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the March 23 Movement (M23) in North Kivu Province in eastern DRC is causing immense human suffering. Further military confrontations will have heavy consequences for civilians. Humanitarian agencies continue to provide aid in areas where they have access.
