**Helping Children in Need: Inside the Humanitarian Crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo \ud83c\udf0e\ud83c\udf1f**<\/p>\n
Imagine being a child, living in a country torn apart by conflict, not knowing when your next meal will be or if you will be safe. This is the reality for thousands of children in the Democratic Republic of Congo. \ud83d\udc94<\/p>\n
**What’s happening? \ud83d\udea8**<\/p>\n
A recent surge in conflict has displaced hundreds of thousands of people, including children, leaving them vulnerable to disease, malnutrition, and exclusion from education. \ud83e\udd15 1.6 million people, including 844,000 children, have been displaced since 2017. This is a crisis that requires our attention and action.<\/p>\n
**The Situation on the Ground \ud83d\udd34**<\/p>\n
In the provinces of North Kivu and Ituri, torrents of displaced families are in need of assistance. Many have lost their homes, livelihoods, and belongings. Living in makeshift camps with inadequate shelter and sanitation, the risk of disease and malnutrition is ever-present. \ud83d\udd2c<\/p>\n
\ud83c\udf2e Malnutrition is a major concern, with over 3,000 children under 5 dying each week due to severe malnutrition. Our job is to ensure that children like these can survive, learn and thrive. \ud83c\udfe5<\/p>\n
**UNICEF’s Response \ud83d\udc9a**<\/p>\n

\u2728 Protection from violence and exploitation

We’re fighting to ensure that every child has access to these basic rights. \ud83c\udf1f<\/p>\n
