OVERVIEW

What's happening today in northeastern Congo is one of the world's ongoing silent disasters. There are about 800,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) and, according to a recent survey, at least 5.4 million Congolese have died during the country's internal war. That's nearly seven times the number of people that perished in the 1994 Rwandan Genocide.

Since August 2007, Mercy Corps has been here helping distribute food, water and critical relief supplies to the area's displaced families.
