Appels de fonds et interventions humanitaires

Cette information est seulement disponible en anglais.

The year 2005 in the DRC was characterized both by progress towards stability, peace and democracy and, at the same time, the persistence of conflict and emergency situations that define the country as one of the most serious humanitarian crises in the world. The long lasting war has led to the deaths of some 4 million people, while 1,200 people are estimated to die in silence every day due to ongoing epidemics and conflict-related emergencies. UNICEF DRC aims to provide life-saving emergency assistance to internally displaced populations; prevent child morbidity and mortality; and ensure access to education for conflict-affected children. To meet these goals UNICEF urgently requires US$ 47,000,000.

Despite the various peace initiatives and an improvement in the overall security situation in the DRC, armed clashes continue to prevail in Ituri and North Kivu, killing hundreds and displacing tens of thousands of people. Homes, villages, markets, fields, health structures and schools have been looted and often destroyed, leaving families without access to basic services or shelter. Children and women are the most affected by the on-going fighting. UNICEF urgently requires US$ 3.5 million to provide 180,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) with emergency shelter and household items; 180,000 IDPs with clean water, sanitation and hygiene; and to support 100,000 returnee children for attending primary school.
