The United Nations’ humanitarian chief called Thursday for more international support for displaced people in Congo's rebel-controlled east during his first visit to the central African country.
“What I saw here is that the needs are enormous. The people need medicine, food, and protection. They are facing huge problems and challenges, and they need support,” Tom Fletcher, the head of the U.N. humanitarian agency, said after visiting refugee camps in the eastern provinces of North and South Kivu.
