DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO JANUARY TO JUNE 2020

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) promotes respect for international humanitarian law and helps those adversely a ected by conflict and internal violence to become self-sucient, often in collaboration with the DRC Red Cross. We also improve water provision and sanitation, reunite families and strengthen health-care services for the wounded and sick, including victims of sexual violence.
