‘I was hungry and you fed me’
(Matthew 25:35)
Amid horrific violence, more than 5.6 million people have fled their homes, meaning that the country now has the highest number of internally displaced people in Sub-Saharan Africa.
“Thousands of families have arrived in our parish desperate to flee the fighting zones. They look starving, tired and traumatised.”
Father Jean-Baptiste Chiza, parish priest of Our Lady of Hope, near Goma, in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
