The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Tuesday that aid workers are helping the injured and displaced from the deadly clashes in the northeastern province of Tshopo.
Since February 2023, the clashes have killed 740 civilians and displaced 75,000 people in Kisangani, the capital of Tshopo, according to OCHA.
The office said an OCHA-led assessment team found that food, shelter and health care are the most pressing needs for the displaced people, Xinhua reported.
It called on all involved to work together to end the violence, protect civilians and find a sustainable solution to the conflict in the country.
