It is reported that the M23 rebel group continued to attack the village and cities of East DRC and many regions were captured.
UNICEF executive director Catherine Rosile expressed deep disappointment over the horrific impact on women and children in the fight.
He said that in North and South Kivu provinces, children’s rights have been violated by warnings, they have been victimized by rape and other types of sexual violence, and it has been managed in a larger size last year compared to the year.
In addition to the northern and south Kivu provinces, the crisis is getting involved in other parts of the country. According to a non -governmental organization called Save the Children, at least 12 people, including 20 children, were killed in a brutal attack in the Jazugu region this week.
The attackers targeted families using guns, sharp weapons and burned to collect houses. Many of the victims have been told women and children.
Rape
The United Nations Children Fund has recruited rapidly in the midst of deep violence, recruiting, abducting and sexual violence.
The Rwanda -backed M32 team took the North Kivur capital of the North Kivur capital from January 2 to February 2. According to data from the UNICEF -backed 12 health centers, the rape cases have been registered five times a week.
There are about 30 percent of children who get treatment, though the actual number is expected to be much higher than that.
In the current situation, many children are separated from their families and have a danger to exploit them. Within about two weeks, more than 1,100 children have been detected and this number is increasing.
Employed by armed groups
Before the violent conflict, admission to children by armed groups was a major concern. In a UN report last year, more than four thousand cases were reported.
Catherine Rusile said that these alerts were applying for young fighters for lambs and fearing that the recruitment rate could be expected. There are reports that 12 -year -old children are being forcibly employed in armed groups.
In view of this, the top official of UNICEF emphasized that these procedures should be stopped immediately and the children’s rights violation should be dealt with.
Challenges before pregnant women
The UN Agency (UNFPA) has warned that violence has a profound impact on pregnant women, many of whom have been forced to escape their lives several times.
He has taken shelter in crowded displacement camps and has no medical care. Some women have given birth to children in temporary camps in the bombing without any treatment.
Even before the current crisis, the maternity health care system in the DRC was very limited and maternal mortality rate in the country is very high.
There are two lakh 20 thousand pregnant women in the North and South Kibu, of which about 12,000 have no treatment care system. The risk of gender-based violence is at risk of more than 3,000 women and girls and unwanted pregnancy is increasing.
Now one -third of the hospital and one of every five health centers are being done. In this situation, mobile clinics operated by UN Agency are a big support for pregnant women.
