OCHA representative visits DRC amidst crisis in country | Video

Goma (DR Congo), Mar 13 (EFE/EPA).- (Camera: Moise Kasereka) The east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is experiencing an escalation of violence that has aggravated diplomatic tension between the DRC and Rwanda over Kigali's alleged collaboration with the rebel group March 23 Movement (M23).

That conflict is taking place in sub-Saharan Africa's largest country, rich in mineral resources, home to just over 100 million people and one of the world's worst humanitarian crises with almost seven million internally displaced people in total.
