Description


February 2019 – From new violence in peaceful areas of the country, such as Ituri, to multiple Ebola outbreaks, and the forced return of hundreds of thousands of Congolese refugees and IDPs, 2019 pushed the limits of DRC’s humanitarian assistance. These challenges, coupled with cyclical violence and a lack of basic services exacerbated live-saving needs across the east and centre of the country. Millions of Congolese bear the brunt, which is characterized by worsening inter-ethnic tensions and conflict and where widespread human rights abuses, including sexual violence, are a defining feature. In 2018 alone, 1.26 million Congolese were newly displaced, and it is expected that 2019 will bring an additional 2.9 million returnees back to their areas of origin, creating significant needs in protection, livelihoods, and food security. Approximately 12.8 million people are food insecure and 4.28 million children are suffering from malnutrition. With GAC’s support, People in Need (PIN)fournit une assistance pour répondre aux besoins urgents de 53 884 personnes affectées par le conflit dans le territoire de Kabambare, en RDC. Ce projet se concentre sur l’amélioration des conditions d’eau, d’assainissement et d’hygiène des structures sanitaires, la prévention et le traitement de la malnutrition, et la fourniture de services de santé de base aux populations touchées par le conflit. Les activités du projet comprennent : 1) distribuer jusqu’à 28 trousses médicales aux structures sanitaires existantes ; 2) fournir des trousses d’assainissement et d’hygiène aux structures sanitaires ; 3) former jusqu’à 60 volontaires de la santé communautaire ; 4) distribuer des intrants et du matériel nutritionnels pour la malnutrition aiguë sévère.
