Over 300,000 people displaced in DRC

Violent clashes between Hema and Lendu communities in the Ituri province of DR Congo have led to a mass exodus of people away from a region that is also a hot spot of an ongoing Ebola outbreak. According to a report from the United Nations Refugee Agency, over 300,000 people are escaping violence, looking for refuge in neighbouring areas and in bordering Uganda.
