Humanitarian Crises Worsen in Gaza and DR Congo Amid Conflict and Climate Disasters

Heavy rainfall in Gaza has severely exacerbated the humanitarian crisis, causing widespread flooding, displacement, and public health risks, prompting urgent calls from the UN and partners for winter supplies. Simultaneously, the Democratic Republic of Congo faces a deepening hunger crisis, with conflict, displacement, rising food prices, and disease outbreaks projected to push a record 30.3 million people into acute food insecurity by early 2027, according to UN agencies.
