Title: “Displaced people from Oicha-Mission: in search of drinking water, a desperate situation that continues”
Introduction :
The situation of displaced people in Oicha-Mission in the Beni territory has become a major concern. Indeed, these people, already affected by the tragedy of having to leave their homes, today face another challenge: access to an essential resource, drinking water. Since March last year, the displaced people’s site in Oicha-Mission has suffered from a shortage of drinking water. The two water wells, although essential for their survival, are damaged and the situation has still not been resolved. The consequences of this lack of water are dramatic and the displaced have to travel long distances and pay a sum of money to obtain drinking water.
Persistent problem:
According to Jean-Pierre Kisubi, president of the displaced persons site, the situation is increasingly difficult to manage. Displaced people must travel to remote locations to find drinking water, which represents not only a logistical constraint, but also a significant financial cost. They have to pay around 200 Congolese francs per container of water, which can quickly add up and become a financial burden for these already vulnerable people. Despite promises from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to rehabilitate water sources, no concrete action has been taken so far.
Call for help :
Faced with this critical situation, Jean-Pierre Kisubi launches an urgent appeal for the rehabilitation of drinking water sources on the site of the displaced people of Oicha-Mission. Access to clean water is a fundamental necessity for survival and human dignity, and it is imperative that immediate action is taken to address this situation. Unfortunately, local authorities have not yet reacted and it is crucial that their attention is drawn to this humanitarian crisis which has persisted for too long.
Conclusion :
The situation of the displaced in Oicha-Mission is a sad example of the reality that many displaced people have to face every day. The lack of drinking water only worsens their already precarious condition. It is essential that measures are taken to rehabilitate sources of drinking water at the site of the displaced, in order to guarantee their access to this vital resource. We hope that this urgent call will be heard and that concrete solutions will be put in place to meet the basic needs of these vulnerable people.
