This press release conveys World Vision’s alert regarding the severe deterioration of the situation in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Recent clashes that led to the capture of Uvira, in South Kivu, by AFC/M23 rebels, a highly strategic town, have resulted in the deaths of many women and children, while triggering large-scale displacement towards Rwanda and Burundi.
