flag UN envoy warns ceasefire in DRC’s east unenforced, aid funding critically low, worsening crisis.

flag UN envoy Bintou Keita warned the Security Council that key provisions of Resolution 2773, calling for a ceasefire in eastern DRC, remain unimplemented eight months after its adoption. flag She reported ongoing violence, territorial gains by the AFC-M23 alliance, and the establishment of parallel governance structures, with over 7,000 new fighters trained recently. flag MONUSCO’s ability to protect civilians and deliver aid is hampered by operational constraints and a lack of resources. flag Humanitarian funding stands at just 15.2% of the required amount, down from 41% last year, leading to aid suspensions, reduced rations, and worsening food insecurity affecting over 27.7 million people, including 5.7 million in eastern provinces. flag Maternal mortality is rising, and without urgent action, civilians will continue to bear the brunt of the crisis.
