Highlights
Insecurity persists in Katwa and Butembo health zones, resulting in temporary suspension of activities. On 3 May, a Safe and Dignified Burial team was violently attacked by community members after the burial of a confirmed Ebola case. On 8 May, 50-armed militia entered Butembo and opened fire in the city. This led to the temporary suspension of activities for five days

La Cinquième Commission chargée des questions administratives et budgétaires était saisie, ce matin, d’une proposition budgétaire d’environ un milliard de dollars pour l’opération de l’ONU en République démocratique du Congo (RDC), soit une baisse significative par rapport à l’exercice précédent. Le Secrétaire général précise que cette enveloppe reflète la diminution programmée des effectifs de la mission et la fermeture de plusieurs de ses bureaux à la faveur du « premier transfert pacifique du pouvoir dans l’histoire du pays ».
Charles Lwanga-Kikwaya is one of many health workers operating in a conflict zone. On New Year’s Day, his team was attacked at an Ebola vaccination point in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
This week on an overcast and drizzly day the 72nd World Health Assembly opened in Geneva. The weather was somewhat fitting for a sombre and sobering moment in the opening plenary when Director-General Dr Tedros led a moment of silence to remember all health workers killed or injured in the line of duty.
Highlights of the week
Le Haut Commissariat des Nations Unies pour les réfugiés (HCR), condamne fermement la violence et le pillage de son bureau et des bureaux et installations de ses partenaires œuvrant dans la ville de Monga, en province du Bas-Uele.
Mardi soir, un groupe d’environ 80 personnes a attaqué ces bâtiments, en pillant notamment un nombre important d’articles ménagers destinés à être distribués à des réfugiés centrafricains et des personnes vulnérables congolaises.
FAITS SAILLANTS
• Nombre de déplacés à la hausse à Kamango, qui héberge désormais 64 000 personnes
• 500 personnes sensibilisées aux principes de l’action humanitaire à Kasindi et Mutwanga
