Democratic Republic of the Congo - Thousands flee escalating violence

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency

Thousands of people continue to flee fighting in the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Kasai Region. Some have sought shelter in neighbouring provinces following attacks on their homes. They arrive tired and hungry after walking for weeks in search of safety.

UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, works to protect and assist those fleeing war and persecution. Since 1950, we have helped tens of millions of people find safety and rebuild their lives. With your support, we can restore hope for many more.
