DRC - Baseline Assessment - M23 Crisis 20 - (July 2024)

Displacement data collected in this twentieth crisis analysis shows an increase in the number of displaced people compared to the previous publication. The number of displaced people increased from 1,771,692 to 1,855,116 people as of July 5, 2024. This 5 percent increase is mainly linked to the clashes in Lubero territory. Although the majority of displaced people are in host communities, displacement sites continue to host a significant proportion (41%) of displaced people. Some sites provide temporary shelter and basic assistance, but most fail to adequately meet the needs of those affected. These sites are often overcrowded and struggle to provide essential services such as security, clean water, food and sanitation, compounding the difficulties of displaced people.
