Read the entire Supplementary Appeal and access the Latest Updates on the Congolese Situation.
With some 630,500 Congolese refugees in the region and 4.49 million IDPs, the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is one of the world’s most complex, challenging, protracted and forgotten crises. Since 2015, the number of people displaced internally has more than doubled, some 428,000 of these having been displaced in the past three months alone.
This Appeal presents UNHCR’s strategic objectives and financial requirements for its response to current as well as expected Congolese refugees and IDP and returnee population.
More details on the individual operations covered by this Appeal are available in the country annexes, and on relevant country operations pages.
