UN warns millions in Democratic Republic of the Congo facing acute hunger
United Nations, April 7 (RHC)-- The United Nations is warning over 27 million people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo — one-third of the population — are facing acute hunger driven by ongoing conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The World Food Program says it needs at least $660 million to maintain its aid to the DRC, which has the highest number of people in urgent need of food assistance in the world.
