The ongoing conflict in North Kivu has forced over 600,000 people to seek safety in the Goma area, where they are living in overcrowded and informal camps (Lwashi, Lushagala, DGDA, Sam Sam, Buhimba, Rego, Cepac, Shabindu and others). These camps are home to many recently displaced individuals, leading to serious health risks because of a lack of basic water, sanitation, and hygiene services.
