More aid urgently needed in eastern DR Congo - MSF

According to aid organization Médecins Sans Frontières, the Democratic Republic of the Congo's east desperately requires more humanitarian aid.

According to MSF, over the course of the past year, violent clashes associated with the M23 rebel group have forced about a million people to leave their homes in the North Kivu region.

According to the medical charity, the majority of the displaced people are living in terrible conditions, and their teams are totally overburdened by the rising measles and cholera cases.

In an attempt to persuade the M23 rebels to leave the eastern Congo, several East African nations have sent troops there.
