Bad news currently reach us from the Democratic Republic of Congo: over 770.000 children are famished. Over 400.000 of the children are suffering from severe malnutrition and urgently desire our fast and uncomplicated intervention. In total 3.8 Mio. individuals need humanitarian aid right now. The situation is caused by ongoing inner conflict and crippeling drought which prevent farmers from planting and harvesting.Aktion Deutschland Hilft and its member organisations are in Kongo to support the people facing the famine.
Our member organisation Malteser Hilfsdienst has recently opened a new health project that aims at refugees and internally displaced men, women and children. It is set in the northern part of Territore de Bondo in the region of Bas Uélé. Malnutrition is one of the main causes why the inhabitants of that area seek help in the health centers.

With these measures our member organisation Malteser Hilfsdienst ensures that children and adults with severe and light malnutrition can quickly access treatment.
