DRC - Baseline Assessment - M23 Crisis 1 -...

In the Rutshuru territory, these attacks have displaced 234,488 people (40,027 households) from combat areas (Jomba, Bweza, and Kisigari groupings) to areas considered secure in the Nyiragongo, Rutshuru, and Lubero territories, including the health zones of Nyiragongo, Bambo Kayna, and Kibirizi. The security situation in the territory remains volatile and affects access to the populations caught in the conflict between insurgents and government forces. Attacks against communities occur almost daily since the end of October, with a level of violence that displaces the affected populations, increasing their vulnerability.
