Over 400,000 people displaced in 2025 in eastern DR Congo: UN

Kinshasa, Jan 25 (UNI) Over 400,000 people have been displaced since the beginning of 2025 in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), as conflict intensifies and rebellion advances toward major townships, the United Nations refugee agency said on Friday.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said in a release that it is "gravely concerned" about the safety and security of civilians and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in eastern DRC.
According to the statement, persistent clashes between belligerents in these areas continue to worsen the protection environment for civilians in South Kivu and North Kivu provinces, which are already home to 4.6 million IDPs.
