In Minova, the region on the border between North and South Kivu in the East of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Malteser International is distributing around 1,000 tons of food supplies to more than 6,000 families who have had to flee because of the conflict in North Kivu.
"Together with other relief organizations, we have done an assessment in the region of Minova and counted 30,645 internally displaced persons (IDPs)”, says Dr. Georg Nothelle, Head of the Africa Department of Malteser International explains. “Within one week we will distribute foodstuffs such as flour, vegetables, oil and salt to all of the families. A second distribution campaign is planned for December.” The distribution will be financially supported by the World Food Programme of the United Nations (WFP) which aims to assure the food supply for the IDPs during the next two months...”
