Water and Food Running Low for Families Trapped by Violence in Eastern DRCongo (ForTheMedia)

Concerns are mounting as violence escalates rapidly in and around Goma, the provincial capital of eastern DRC. In a city of one million plus people, food and water supplies are running low – the next 24 hours are crucial. Several WFP warehouses have been looted; teams are taking stock of what we will need to locally procure and transfer by road to make sure we have provisions once we resume operations in the critically affected areas.
