Displaced persons from the Kibati and Buvira groupement in Nyiragongo territory have made a desperate appeal to the authorities for humanitarian assistance. According to UN Radio sources, more than 500 households are in a precarious situation, living in misery and in need of urgent assistance.
A non-governmental organization has testified to the plight of these displaced people, saying that they deserve immediate attention. However, officials from the humanitarian affairs division say that the lists of displaced people are compiled by customary chiefs. Civil society in Nyiragongo opposes this method and asks that the lists of displaced persons receiving humanitarian assistance be made available to the division.
This situation highlights the challenges facing the displaced in the region. Although local authorities are responsible for coordinating humanitarian assistance, there appear to be gaps in the beneficiary selection process. It is essential that the lists are drawn up in a transparent and fair way, in order to ensure that those who are most in need can benefit from the necessary assistance.
The situation of the displaced is often a reflection of the broader issues faced by communities affected by conflict and humanitarian crises. It is therefore crucial that the authorities work closely with humanitarian actors to ensure that the most urgent needs are quickly taken into account and that resources are allocated effectively.
Awareness of this difficult situation must lead to collective action to improve the living conditions of the displaced. It is essential to strengthen coordination mechanisms between local authorities, humanitarian organizations and civil society, to ensure that the necessary resources are channeled to where they are most needed.
In conclusion, the appeal of the displaced persons from the Kibati and Buvira groupement in the territory of Nyiragongo highlights the urgency of the situation and the need for adequate humanitarian assistance. It is imperative that the authorities and humanitarian actors work together to meet the needs of the displaced and improve their living conditions. Transparency in the selection of aid recipients is essential to ensure fair and effective distribution of available resources
