Jan Egeland and Ulrika Blom, Country Director NRC DRC in Beni, North Kivu. Only two months into 2018, and North Kivu province is returning as a hotspot in the crisis. A resurgence of inter-communal fighting and violent clashes between armed groups caused a dangerous spike in displacement in 2017. Some 1.2 million people are now displaced in the province – the highest number in any area in the country. “Despite the resurgence of violence in North Kivu, critical funding is being pulled out of the province and into other areas, deemed by the UN as higher priority. Aid agencies are forced to juggle dwindling resources. It’s a life-threatening lottery on who wins and who loses – with lethal stakes. Areas that lose face sickness, disease and ultimately death,” said Egeland. “The priority for DRC is a massive scale-up of funding and of aid workers in conflict areas, including North Kivu. Otherwise, the humanitarian community won’t be able to cope and will face certain calamity. We are already overwhelmed by what feels like a continent of crises, and we as humanitarians are so few and with no means to help.

Where armed groups rule

Over 230,000 people were forced to flee their homes in the Central African Republic (CAR) in the first half of 2018. “It has gone from bad to worse and there are no signs of improvement,” says Eric Batonon, NRC country director.

Sultana, 24, (right in blue) and Hajira, 32, (left in dotted red) Sultana lost her three months daughter due to cold in one of the IDP settlement in Badghis, Afghanistan. The family have forced to come from Kharistan area to Qala-e-naw city due to sever drought some two months ago. "My little was fine before we left the village. We came here and slept in the open with only a tarpaulin over our head. My daughter got pneumonia at the beginning and latter she died," said her mother grieving. "She cries all the day and often comes here to talk to me and forget about her daughter," Hajira mother of five said. "She lost her daughter due to cold and it made me worried not losing my children," she adds. Hajira has five children and also a seven months pregnant. She asks for immediate shelter and winterization assistance as winter is looming. "We can't go back to our home because we can't find even a drop water as all wells and water sources have dried up," she said when we asked if they are planning to go back. Though the family do not have proper shelter in Sanjetak settlement, but they have been provided with water tracking and water tanks. PHoto: NRC/Enayatullah Azad
