Situation Update
- In February, the security situation continued to worsen in eastern DRC as the M23 rebel group advanced its offensive and seized control of Bukavu, the provincial capital of South Kivu. The advance worsened the already disrupted access and supply chain with the closure of Kavumu airport in South Kivu. Attacks and looting were prevalent during the month, increasing protection risks and violations to civilians and humanitarian workers alike.
- Safety for WFP staff and dependents remains highly volatile. Non-critical staff and dependents in Kalemie were relocated as the United Nations Designated official declared relocation for personnel in Tanganyika province. WF has maintained skeleton teams of staff in the affected provinces to facilitate WFP operations whenever the security situation allows.
