Context
In 2024, nearly 25.6 million people are facing acute food insecurity, and more than 7 million are internally displaced, mainly in the east of the country. This region is the scene of armed conflict, resulting in extreme violence, particularly against civilians. Human rights violations, sexual violence, and the recruitment of child soldiers are frequent. Humanitarian access is hampered by insecurity and infrastructure degradation. Humanitarian needs include protection, health, water, food, and shelter. International funding remains largely insufficient, hindering the humanitarian response. There are numerous camps for displaced persons, with precarious living conditions. The situation is exacerbated by cholera and Mpox epidemics, recurrent epidemics (such as Ebola and measles) and the impacts of climate change.

In 2024, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL responded to the crisis caused by armed violence by the M23 in the east of the country by providing assistance to displaced persons on the outskirts of Goma. Given the scale of the needs and the lack of available resources, advocacy work was carried out with donors.
SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL adapted its activities following the capture of Goma by offering projects to people forced to move again to safer areas. During the first quarter of 2025, the security and humanitarian situation in the Djugu territory in Ituri deteriorated sharply, leading to massive displacement and increasing the vulnerability of the population. SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL contributes to strengthening the protection, empowerment, and dignity of the most vulnerable people by combining interventions in the water, hygiene, sanitation, protection, and food security sectors.
SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL has systematically adapted to the dynamics of the conflict and has been able to carry out its activities on both sides of the front line. However, humanitarian needs remain extremely high and advocacy continues in order to address them.
