“The crisis is exacerbated as people flee to areas where humanitarian aid cannot reach due to insecurity,” the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNJIN BYUN Commission) told reporters in Geneva.
This development comes a day after the country’s UN aid official, Bruno Limarkis, warned that the lack of humanitarian roads was threatening the aid process in the region.

The rebels, who seized the northern province of Kivu County at the end of last month, are advancing towards Bocafo, the capital of southern Kivu, after a short -term calmness in the fighting.
“The reports are unable to reach the needy due to the insecurity and continuous clarification.”
Meanwhile, in northern Kivu, “the destruction of health facilities, including marantaws, and crowded hospitals increases the risk of spreading infectious diseases, including cholera, malaria and measles.”
The UNHCR spokesman also highlighted the fact that “Heavy Artillery and Looting” destroyed 70,000 emergency shelters around Goma And Menova in the northern and southern provinces of Kivu, leaving about 350,000 people of internally displaced people (IDPS) “again without a roof above their heads.”
Ms. Pion said that while about 100,000 people of the displaced tried to return to their household areas – where they are damaged to their homes and the absence of basic services – many are still cut off.
Fifted residue
The uninterrupted munitions left by the fighting are another obstacle to their safe return.
Mrs. Pion warned that “these people will be displaced again.”
The UNHCR spokesman confirmed Most of the 28 displaced sites are now destroyed. She said that the agency’s concern regarding access to aid is that the road from Guma to Bukavo has been cut.
Mrs. Pion also remembered that the airport in Goma “is still not working for humanitarian help.”
She added: “Since violence has spread to the south of Kivu, this latiture line is the source of our greatest concern,” she added.
With the rebels pushing Boukavo, Mr. Limarkis expressed to the United Nations on Thursday about the fate of the main South Kivu Airport, about 20 miles from the provincial capital, which was the “main lifeline” until recently to bring in humanitarian individuals.
MPOX spread
Meanwhile, the UN World Health Organization spokesman, Christian Lindereer, highlighted the “heavy” influence of the hostility on MPOX’s response, “especially in Goma and the neighboring region” with the spread of the fighting in the south.
He stressed that the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the “worst country affected by MPOX”, where Kivu was the very infectious Clade 1B outbreak.
Because of the rapid spread of the Clade 1B dynasty, in August last year, which moved to the MPOX advertisement again “a general health emergency of international anxiety”, for the second time after the Virus Virus outbreaks in 2022.
Earlier this month, Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that before the latest violence in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, MPOX cases were settling. But the last fighting forced patients to flee the treatment centers and increase the risk of transition.
“Of the 143 patients who confirmed in isolation units in Juma and about, 128 fled in fear of their livesMr. Lindmeier said, stressing that only 15 patients remain in isolation.
“This is of course dangerous for everyone around him,” I insisted.
Mr. Lindmeier added that some health facilities in the region were looted, and health workers have escaped, and people were unable to reach health care because of the security situation.
