DRC: displacement remains concentrated in eastern provinces
Conflict, armed-group activity and repeated displacement continue to shape the humanitarian crisis in eastern DRC.
UNHCR reports 6.9 million internally displaced people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, more than 5 million of them in North Kivu, South Kivu and Ituri.
The eastern crisis involves multiple armed actors and repeated displacement. UNHCR pages may carry figures from different reference dates, so CAWT cites the page used rather than combining older and newer values into a synthetic total.
