In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the International Committee of the Red Cross has suspended food distributions to people displaced by conflict as fighting between the Congolese army and M23 fighters intensifies. Vi olence has been spreading to Kanyabayonga, a town in the eastern DRC, where tens of thousands of people have fled, seeking shelter. About 7 million people have been internally displaced, with humanitarian aid groups describing this as one of the world’s largest displacement crises.
