(MENAFN) The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) announced it has set an appeal of USD64.5 million for the Kasai area in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Moreover, due to the violence that happened in Kasai Central in August 2016, at least an expected 1 million people have been moved from their own home land to other areas.
A spokesperson for UN Secretary-General said that the violence has caused civilian deaths, gross human right violations and disruption of livelihoods as well as education for thousands of children.
In addition, the official posted 'The appeal launched today will provide water, food, health services and basic household items, as well as protection services to minors, women who have suffered sexual violence and other civilians who have been victims of violence'.
