The Congolese government and the United Nations say 25 people were killed in an attack by a Congolese Development Cooperative in Ituri province.
The attack took place in the village of Galai, northwest of Bunia, where 15 bodies were found on Sunday, and 10 more bodies were recovered on Saturday.
In its March report, the UN recorded an increase in attacks by the Kodeco Group, blaming it and allied groups for killings targeting civilians.
The United Nations estimates the number of displaced people in Goma at 230,000 since February, due to the conflict with the “Mars 23” movement, bringing the total number of displaced people in the city to about one million.
East Congo has more than 120 armed groups and has been witnessing decades of conflict, with the M23 continuing its attacks, forcing many residents to flee to Goma.
The World Food Programme (WFP) also announced that $548.5 million is needed to maintain its operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo and faces the challenge of feeding some 1.3 million people.
A United Nations official warned in mid-March that the escalation of violence in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo would lead to the displacement of about 250,000 people, describing the situation as an “unprecedented humanitarian crisis.”
The United Nations says it has raised its alert for the possible displacement of some 780,000 people in Mozambique by the ongoing violence there.
