Walikale-Kalehe: Nearly 2,350 Displaced Families Face Severe Hardship

The local civil society in Hombo raises alarm over the humanitarian situation of nearly 2,350 displaced families in Lukaraba, North Kivu, and Hombo Sud, South Kivu, following an assessment mission in late September 2026. These populations live in makeshift shelters, lacking food, water, healthcare, and hygiene products, with increased vulnerability among children, pregnant women, and adolescents. Local health facilities are overwhelmed, and the civil society calls for urgent intervention from authorities and humanitarian partners to improve food aid, protection, and medical support.
