DRC - Baseline Assessment - M23 Crisis 17 - (5...

The displacement data collected in this seventeenth crisis analysis shows a decrease in the number of people displaced by the M23 crisis compared with the previous publication. The number of displaced people decreased from 1,689,260 on 13 March to 1,561,676 on 29 March 2024. This decrease of 8 per cent can be linked to the clashes that took place in the villages already emptied of their populetions in the Kamuronza groupement in Masisi territory and those in Nyiragongo territory. Although the majority of displaced people reside in host communities, displacement sites continue to host a significant proportion (41%) of displaced people.
