“Massive” displacement in South Kivu

    NAIROBI

    Further massive displacement of civilian populations was reported in South Kivu due to insecurity, WFP said in its latest weekly emergency report, citing a “strong militia presence” in the area. “Over the past two weeks, military hostilities have moved away from urban centres toward forests and little information is available to humanitarian actors on the condition of civilians in these areas due to lack of access,” the report said. Only about 60,000 out of an estimated 200,000 displaced people were currently in accessible areas, it stated.
