The Red Cross on Friday said clashes in the Democratic Republic of Congo had triggered an "immense" crisis that risked going unnoticed and appealing for nearly $60 million to provide desperately-needed aid.
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the world's largest humanitarian network, warned of an "alarming escalation" of violence in North Kivu and South Kivu provinces, on the DR Congo's eastern border.
