GRID 2023 Spotlight - The Democratic Republic of the Congo: overlapping displacement and food insecurity in the east

DescriptionThe humanitarian situation in DRC deteriorated in 2022 as non-state armed groups (NSAGs) increased their attacks in the eastern provinces of Ituri, North Kivu and South Kivu. Around 4 million internal displacements were reported across the country as a whole, a 48% increase from 2021. Around 5.7 million people were living in displacement at the end of the year, the third highest figure in the world. DRC is also home to the largest number of acutely food insecure people worldwide, illustrating the overlapping nature of these crises.
