Resilience
A huge driving force in improving the lives of the Internally Displaced people in DRC is the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR). They have created many refugee camps that provide a shelter and health care for the struggling families in the DRC. They provide much needed food and healthcare to the millions of IDPs and refugees in the DRC, along with many other countries across the world.
Population of jamaica= 2.8 million
number of displaced people in drc: 2.9 Million
This acts as a shocking scale to see just how many people the emergency in the DRC affects. If the entire population of Jamaica was dropped in the DRC and left without a home, that would still not match the current number of IDPs residing in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
