Description:
Since 1994, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been rent by ethnic strife and civil war, touched off by a massive inflow of refugees fleeing the Rwandan Genocide. This period of conflict has been the bloodiest in history since World War II. Almost 4 million people have died as a result of the fighting. The United Nations is concerned that 1000 people a day are still dying as a result of the conflict. Most of these deaths were due to starvation or disease that resulted from the war, not from actual fighting. Millions more have become internally displaced or have sought asylum in neighboring countries. Brit Olam's emergency unit - I Relief is gathering aid efforts for the refugees in DRC with the support of the Congo refugees, living in Israel. I Relief is now mounting an international operation, together with hospitals and other humanitarian aid organizations, to support the refugees by sending medical supplies and essential survival materials to the region. Those supplies are their chance for life. Http://www.britolam.org
