UniRR provided lifesaving assistance to 1,016,943 crisis affected people, including 664,098 children in the provinces of North Kivu, South Kivu, Ituri and Tanganyika. This represents an increase by 14.6% compared with 2024 (887,499 people).
Although the number of interventions in 2025, is lower than in 2024 (46 versus 60), as stated above the number of beneficiaries per interventions was higher in 2025. 50 per cent of the emergency responses included emergency health/nutrition assistance compared with 43 per cent in 2024. The increase in the rapid emergency health/emergency assistance , clearly reflects the ongoing collapse of the health system in zones affected by conflicts.
Finally, it is important to note that UniRR was able to reach highly vulnerable populations in very hard to reach areas, where no or very few actor has been responding: for example, Walikale (NK) in September 2025, or Fizi (SK) in May 2025).
154,909 NFI, Shelter, Wash and Hygiene kits were distributed to 952,662 highly vulnerable people in very hard to reach areas. All the interventions were carried out in less than 28 days after the alert and in less than 6 days after the end of the multi-sector rapid assessment (target: 7 days after the assessment). Complementing UNIRR activities, food distributions were carried out by WFP, FICR and ACTED following 7 UniRR interventions, mainly in South Kivu and North Kivu. 84,357 persons benefitted from free primary health care, through the support to 64 public health centers (23,8% of the 84,357 people were also assisted with NFI distribution). Almost 8,000 acutely malnourished children received nutrition assistance.
Finally, 154 children with complicated cases and 131 women and girls survival of GBV were referred to facilities with higher levels of technical expertise for appropriate care.
UniRR has been actively engaged in the RRM coordination forum and in the different COHPs led by OCHA, thus ensuring no duplication and complementarity in the response. UniRR also strengthened the coordination with the other health/nutrition rapid response mechanisms to ensure no duplication and complementarity. Coordination has been also strengthened with second line actors/ sectors (internally and externally) to ensure continuity in the response, for example in the sector of humanitarian cash transfer.
