This press release is an urgent call from World Vision for an immediate cessation of violence and a return to dialogue in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), warning that the ongoing conflict is worsening the humanitarian crisis, particularly for children. The destruction of hospitals, schools, and displacement camps has left children increasingly vulnerable, heightening the risks of diseases like TB and measles due to missed vaccinations. As of February 2025, over half a million people have been displaced, adding to the already high number of 6.8 million internally displaced persons (IDPs). World Vision is deeply concerned that without action, the crisis will escalate further, with devastating consequences for children. The organization urges global leaders to press for peace and allow for unrestricted humanitarian aid to meet growing needs. They also advocate for a humanitarian pause to provide families with safety and access to essential supplies. World Vision has been supporting displaced communities in North and South Kivu and is preparing to expand its response in Goma once access is granted. The organization calls for meaningful dialogues to ensure a lasting resolution and protect the future of children in the region.
