According to UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, in the latest attack on Monday, armed assailants carried out the assault in a displacement site in Ituri province, resulting in the tragic deaths of at least 45 people, including children and women.
At least 12 people were burned alive as their shelters were set ablaze during the attack, the UNHCR said in a press release.
"UNHCR deplores in the strongest terms these heinous attacks against vulnerable civilian populations," said Valentin Tapsoba, director of UNHCR’s Regional Bureau for Southern Africa.
The resurgence of violence in the region is deeply concerning and underscores the urgent need for sustained efforts to address the causes of conflict and promote lasting peace and stability, UNHCR stressed.
