**Fatshimetry**

Floods caused by rising water levels in Lake Tanganyika have plunged Tanganyika into a major humanitarian crisis, with more than 28,000 displaced households in distress. The situation is critical and requires urgent action from provincial authorities and humanitarian agencies.

Provincial Minister of Humanitarian Affairs Bob Morisho stressed the need to mobilize funds to relocate and assist flood victims. Talks are underway in Kalemie to implement concrete solutions and provide adequate humanitarian support to the victims.

In this period of crisis, international solidarity is also requested, with the Belgian consulate general in Lubumbashi showing concern about the situation and considering providing assistance to the victims. This international response is crucial to strengthen local efforts and guarantee effective care for displaced people.

However, the situation is complex, because many victims are not yet ready to reach the reception sites offered. It is essential to raise awareness and support these populations in their transition to safer places, where they can receive the help they need. Only people ready to accept this assistance will be able to benefit from it, underlines the provincial minister.

Beyond the alarming figures, it is essential to remember that behind each statistic lies a poignant human reality. Thousands of families lost their homes, schools were flooded and health centers were damaged. The scale of the damage is considerable, and reconstruction promises to be a major challenge for the authorities and humanitarian organizations.

Faced with this crisis, Congolese society must mobilize, solidarity must be expressed at all levels. It is time to overcome divisions and work together to support affected populations. Now is the time for action, compassion and commitment to our fellow citizens in distress. Let us be united and united in adversity, because it is together that we will overcome this ordeal.

The situation of displaced people in Tanganyika must be an absolute priority for national and international authorities. It is time to move from words to action, to implement concrete and sustainable solutions to meet the urgent needs of these vulnerable populations. Time is running out, and every day counts in this fight for survival and human dignity. Let us face this challenge together, with courage and determination, because it is in adversity that the greatness of humanity is revealed.
