• Clashes between the FARDC, FARDCaligned armed groups, and M23 in North Kivu Province’s Lubero, Masisi, and Walikale territories resulted in widespread displacement and increased humanitarian needs in November and early December, according to relief actors. The use of heavy weapons during hostilities has hindered relief actor’s movement into affected areas.
• Fighting between the Mobondo militia group and the FARDC in western DRC’s Kwango and Mai-Ndombe provinces continued to threaten civilian safety and drive displacement.
• Flooding and landslides following heavy rains in eastern DRC’s Ituri and South Kivu provinces adversely affected more than 100,000 people between October and late November.
