Additional Information / Shotlist Interview of Narcisse Wega, programme manager for the Emergency cell, coming back from a visit.

Intercommunal fighting in the province of Tanganyika has displaced nearly half a million people since July 2016.

Many of these people are living in informal settlements and have limited access to healthcare, and face alarming shortages of food, water and shelter.

Mortality rates of children under 5 are those we would expect to see in the acute phase of an emergency. However, people have been living in these conditions for months.

Aid has been deployed but it is insufficient. More needs to be done, for the people living in the settlements around Kalémie but also for the pockets of displaced people in more inaccessible areas.
