DRC: More than 500 incidents against humanitarian actors reported

Kinshasa, Dec 23 (Prensa Latina) The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that 576 incidents against humanitarian actors occurred in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) from January to the end of November.

According to local press, 37 such incidents occurred in November, primarily in the east of the country, representing a decrease compared to the 55 recorded in October of the same year.

North Kivu is the province with the highest incidence, followed by Ituri, Tanganyika, and South Kivu, according to the November figures.

However, in the overall figures for 2025, although North Kivu continues to have the highest representation with almost half of the incidents (48%), it is followed by South Kivu (27), Ituri (14), Tanganyika (8), and Maniema (3).

Thefts, robberies, and break-ins were the most frequently reported incidents, as were obstructions and restrictions on movement. Acts of intimidation, threats, or physical assaults occurred to a lesser extent.

Eastern Congo is experiencing violence and insecurity due to the presence and clashes between armed groups, leading to the forced displacement of people and increasing the need for humanitarian aid.

Despite these difficult conditions, humanitarian actors are working to access the affected areas and provide emergency medical care, food aid, and other essential assistance.
