Risk of food crisis in Rutshuru after the destruction of dozens of hectares of banana plantations, warns civil society

Civil society in Rutshuru, North Kivu, warns of a potential food crisis following the destruction of several banana plantations. Dozens of hectares have been destroyed in the past two months, attributed to a clearing operation by AFC/M23. This situation threatens food security and children's education, as banana farming is a significant source of income for many households.
