Floods in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo have killed nearly 400 people. The Nyamukubi market, one of the largest in the region, has also been devastated.
Food is becoming difficult to find in the villages where food is scarce. MSF emergency team arrived on 6 May 2023 to support the victims and local authorities in the most affected areas of Kalehe territory in the DRC. It is difficult, for the moment, to make a precise assessment, but the destruction of the market risks permanently disrupting local economic life.
