“I think the problem is that the conflict’s been going on for a long time. I think that the international community doesn’t know how to solve the problem because the problem is so difficult. You know, all you know is there are militias fighting militias, people are being killed here in terrible numbers, but nobody really quite understands it. Even a staff person who’s been here for years told me he has trouble understanding exactly what’s going on. But, at the end of the day, the problem is innocent people are being killed. Children are being killed here, and that’s what we have to respond to. And yes, people are weary of it, I understand that. People are weary of these conflicts that never end. But the people are still suffering. This problem is still here, and these people are still suffering, and we need to help them.”

STORYLINE
After concluding a visit to Ituri Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), an area which has been hard-hit by attacks on civilians, UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell today (6 Apr) appealed for an urgent political resolution to end ongoing violence in the eastern part of the country.
During her time in Ituri, Russell traveled to Rhoe, the site of a camp that is now home to an estimated 63,000 people, including 36,000 children, who have been internally displaced by conflict and violence.
Many of those sheltering at the camp arrived last November after being driven from a different camp for the internally displaced in the nearby town of Drodro that was attacked by men wielding machetes. That incident was one of the latest bouts of inter-community violence that has plagued eastern DRC for decades and displaced approximately five million people.
Russell spoke with children and families impacted by the violence, including Blukwa – a 14-year-old boy who narrowly escaped being killed in Drodro, but witnessed the brutal murder of his best friend in the attack.

But the people are still suffering. This problem is still here, and these people are still suffering, and we need to help them.”
UNICEF is warning of the dire conditions in the Rhoe camp. The violence that has caused multiple displacements in the area has continued over the past two weeks and shows no sign of abating. The camp, located 45 kilometers northeast of the provincial capital Bunia, was up until recently only accessible to aid agencies by helicopter because of insecurity and attacks on humanitarian workers.
UNICEF and its partners are expanding their work for children and families in the Rhoe camp, including recent distributions of more 5,000 kits containing blankets, buckets, jerry cans, kitchenware, and soap. UNICEF is also working with partners to provide children in the camp with education and psychosocial support.
UNICEF’s education programme in the camp benefits 1,200 displaced and host community primary school children. It accommodates pupils from five schools that had to be abandoned because of the mass displacements. Many children attend class in several vast tents located next to a host community school that overlooks the camp.
