2025The impact of the DRC crisis on families’ health
The Democratic Republic of the Congo, the second largest country in Africa, is currently undergoing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, one that places 21.2 million people in need of humanitarian support. Despite millions displaced from their homes, facing hunger and a lack of access to healthcare, the situation in the DRC is widely considered a forgotten crisis. To better understand the situation, we spoke with three extraordinary women from the DRC to find out how their lives have been changed by the crisis and how they found support for their families through Concern’s UK funded programmes.
