How bad is the humanitarian crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo? | Inside Story

'A humanitarian disaster of extraordinary proportions.'

That's how the UN described what's happening in the Democratic Republic of Congo last month.

The country has been at war for much of the past 25 years, including recent political instability after President Joseph Kabila stayed in power beyond his mandated two-terms in office.

Now, as the UN plans to hold a donor conference in Switzerland to help raise nearly two billion dollars, Congolese officials say they will not attend, accusing the agency of exaggerating the problem.

So, how serious is the political and humanitarian crisis in the DRC?
