"The situation in North Kivu is alarming," says Raphaël Piret, MSF country representative in DRC. "For the past eight months, our daily life has been a series of difficulties - in sleeping, eating and clothing ourselves. Faced with the humanitarian and health disaster unfolding before our eyes, stepping up assistance to the displaced people is a matter of urgency. In Rutshuru territory, as in Lubero and Masisi, there is a glaring lack of organisations providing much-needed aid. "For months, MSF has been the only humanitarian organisation working in Rutshuru territory, but the needs of the inhabitants far exceed our capacity to respond," says Doux.
