The humanitarian crisis in eastern DR Congo worsens after M23 rebels captured Kavumu Airport, a key hub for aid and military operations, further isolating conflict zones.
The March 23 Movement (M23) seized Kavumu Airport in South Kivu province, forcing Congolese forces to withdraw equipment. The latest offensive follows M23's capture of Goma in January, triggering widespread panic and mass displacement.
Humanitarian groups warn that aid routes have been cut off, leaving hospitals overwhelmed and critical supplies looted. The UN reports over 3,000 deaths since late January, with disease outbreaks rising due to overcrowded shelters.
The DRC accuses Rwanda of backing M23, while Rwanda denies involvement. As President Tshisekedi seeks international support at the Munich Security Conference, diplomatic efforts to curb the rebel advance continue.
