UNHCR Appeals for $718 Million to Aid Congolese Refugees Amid Escalating Violence

The UNHCR has appealed for $718 million to address the escalating humanitarian crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The appeal, made public recently, aims to provide critical assistance to Congolese refugees and internally displaced persons. Renewed clashes between armed groups and the national army have displaced hundreds of thousands. The UNHCR seeks to offer essential services, including shelter, healthcare, and protection, to those affected by the violence. The funds will also support neighboring countries hosting Congolese refugees. The ongoing conflict has severely impacted civilians, creating an urgent need for increased international support.
