In Democratic Republic of the Congo, humanitarian access is impac- ted by sporadic security-related inci-dents reported in various areas of Central African Republic the country. From September to November 2017, there were more South Soudan than 130 security incidents (60 in October) in 92 locations, featuring conflicts over land control and exactions against civilians. In this 10 context, the ability of humanitarian actors to reach affected popula- 20 tions was reduced, as well as the affected population’s capacity to North-Ubangi Cameroon Haut-Uelet access assistance. As a result, over 1 million people in need had Bas-Uele limited access to aid. The most affected provinces remain the , Buta South-Ubangi where the situation has significantly deteriorated, totaling 54% of the reported incidents. 37 Ituri BBunia 134 92 28 1.26M Ts hop o unique Equateur incidents territories with limited access to aid due * locations to security-related constraints 6 Number of security-related incidents by province and month Congo 110 Province September October November Total Gabon NNorthorth Nord- 19 42 12 73 Ts hua pa Kivu Sud-Kivu 24 7 4 35 Haut-Katanga 4 1 2 7 Ituri - 5 2 7 Maï-Ndombe SSouthouth Tanganyika 2 - 1 3 83 5 KKivuivu Burundi Kasaï-Central 2 1 - 3 Maniema 2 - - 2 Ts ho po - 1 - 1 Kenge Kwilu Lualaba - 1 - 1 Kasaï Kongo-Central Sankuru - 1 - 1 Tanazania 29 Lomami Sud-Ubangi - 1 - 1 25 Mbuji- Tan gan yik a Total 53 60 21 134 Mayi 2 Kasaï Central 72 Number of security-related incidents by event type

InSankuru the provinces of Tanganyika and Haut-Katanga, the Maniema Sud-Kivu security context continues to deteriorate due to inter- communal conflicts, activities of armed groups and ongoing military operations of national army (FARDC). Kongolo This context generates security constraints to humani-Mbulu tarian access. From September to November 2017, 10 1 Nyemba security-related incidents were reported in these two Sankuruprovinces. In Tanganyika, the most insecure roads are: Nyunzu Kalemie – Nyunzu, Nyunzu -Mbulula, Nyunzu – Kankwa- Kalemie Lomami Tumbwe P! la. The Kyambi – Manono road also remains at risk due Tanzanie to the presence of armed groups. In Haut-Katanga, Kabalo 1 insecure roads include: Mushima – Mwenge, Pweto – Kizabi and Pweto – Kipeto.

In the Grand Kasai, 75 projects are currently being run Km. Tshopo Nord-Kivu by 37 humanitarian actors. Access to humanitarian 3,5 assistance by affected populations is limited in large Tshuapa Tshopo Demba Mutoto parts of the Kasai Central and Kasai, due to general insecurity, related displacements and clashes between armed groups and security forces. Logistical Lomela constraints and distance challenge the humanitarian ! Ndesha response in large parts of the Grand Kasai. Secu- Kanan rity-wise, humanitarian actors are not specifically targe- Lomela ! ted by major incidents but rather subjected to “tracas- Lukonga series” (in particular localMaï-Ndombe NGOs) by security forces and Katoka Kananga in some cases, opportunist/criminal incidents. Skirmi- P!? shes (e.g. vehicle stoning by population) were reported Katako-Kombe Sud-Kivu by some humanitarian actors, mostly explained by a Dekese Sankuru Kasaï-Central lack of communication with local communities. Howe- Kananga Katako Kombe ver, tension remains high in some areas and the risks Dekese! Kole Lodja ! of cross fire incidents need to be taken into considera- ! ! Maniema tion, in particular in the provinces of Kasai and Kasai Bobozo Tshikula Central.

The Province of North-Kivu remains by far the most affected by security constraints to humanitarian access, with 72 incidents security-related incidents reported from September to November. This represents a 4.2% rise in the number of incidents compared to the previous three months (70 incidents had been reported from June to August). This deterioration is due to an increase or Irumu fighting and criminal activities in the territories of Oicha, Beni, Lubero, Masisi and Rustshuru. While 110 humanitarian projects are currently being implemented or planned in the province, this volatile context limits the ability of humanitarian actors to deliver assistance. As a consequence, 408,000 people are at risk of receiving no or delayed assistance. Although only 12 incidents were reported in Mambasa November (compared to 42 in October), their number is expected to increase in Oïcha December, as the holiday season usually marks a peak in insecurity.

The situation in the Province of South-Kivu has been deteriorating since July, due to the activities of a new armed group coalition. 35 security-related incidents were reported in from September to November, which represents a 60% rise compared to the previous three months (21 incidents reported from June to August). Kinshasa Areas where the context is particularly volatile include the territo- ries of Kimbi Lulenge, Nundu, Uvira, Kabare, et Bunyakiri. As a Goma consequence, South-Kivu remains the second province most Nord-Kivu P! Buhavu affected by security constraints to humanitarian access in the country. Some 249,000 affected people have limited access to Minova Lac assistance, although 83 projects are being implemented or Kivu planned by humanitarian actors in the province. The decrease in Idjwi ! the number of incidents reported in November (only 4 compared Kalehe to 24 in September) is due to the redeployment of FARDC in Bunyakiri Kalehe Rubenga Kimbi-Lulenge areas after the progressive return of humanitarian ! Idjwi actors in the conflict area. Another reason is the withdrawal of 1 militias on the Lulimba- Salamabila axis. 4 Katana
