Escalating violence in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo has displaced some 237,000 people since the start of the year, the United Nations said Friday.
“Escalating clashes between non-state armed groups and the Congolese army in North and South Kivu provinces are intensifying one of the world’s most alarming yet under-reported humanitarian crises, marked by widespread human rights violations and massive forced displacement,” Eujin Byun, spokeswoman for the UN refugee agency UNHCR told reporters in Geneva.
