The UN Security Council met today to hear briefings on the escalating security and humanitarian crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Under-Secretary-General Jean-Pierre Lacroix and Dr Javid Abdelmoneim, International President of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), warned of intensifying violence in eastern DRC, repeated waves of displacement, restricted humanitarian access, and deepening human suffering.

Briefers stressed that civilian protection must remain at the center of all political and diplomatic efforts, and that progress should be measured not by agreements signed, but by whether people are safer — in their homes, on the roads they travel, and in the places they seek care. They also underlined the urgent need for sustained international engagement and adequately resourced humanitarian action.
