Desde el 31 de julio de 2010, aproximadamente 1,9 millones de personas se desplazaron internamente en las provincias de Kivu del Norte, Kivu del Sur, Oriental, Katanga y Ecuador, en la República Democrática del Congo (RDC). No hemos de olvidar que los desplazados internos sólo representan una parte de las personas necesitadas de este país.
