Today at the Great Lakes Conference in Paris, it's essential we see an end to the neglect that has condemned so many in DR Congo.

Many of those currently being forced to flee Gaza City have been displaced 10 times already.
Some people are fleeing with only the clothes on their backs.
This is an assault on a refugee camp.
The offensive on Gaza City must immediately end.

In 2024 we saw huge numbers of people displaced in all corners of the world.
That fact that over 123 million people were forced from their homes at the end of 2024 is a damning verdict on our ability to defend families from blunt violence.

Here in northern Mozambique, displacement camps are filled with people fleeing from not just one horror, but from several.
Conflict, floods, cyclones.
Here in Muadi, families who fled 4 years ago now live next to new arrivals from last month. No one is going home.
