The ongoing armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has created a massive humanitarian crisis, and the medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is calling on the M23, which controls Goma and surrounding areas, to allow the passage of humanitarian aid for thousands of displaced civilians.
According to MSF, the province of North Kivu has been severely affected by violence over the past three weeks, and Goma is now home to 696,000 internally displaced people (IDPs).
