Over 500,000 displaced in a month in DRC's east: Congolese FM says

Fierce fighting in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo has displaced more than 500,000 people so far in January, the nation's foreign minister told an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday.

"The humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate, with more than 500,000 new (internally displaced people) in the North and South Kivu provinces in January alone," said Congolese Foreign Minister Therese Kayikwamba Wagner.
