Since August 2016, tension and violence in the Kasaï Central province has caused forced displacement and further erosion of the overall humanitarian situation throughout Greater Kasai and the surrounding provinces. In 2017, the violence expanded to Kasai, Kasai Oriental and Lomami provinces. In the last year alone, around 1.4 million people are reported to have been displaced from Kasai conflict. In October, the UN classified DRC crisis as an IASC Level 3 Emergency
