Congo's crisis worsens

Congo's crisis worsens - The Big Picture - Boston.com 12:59pm Source: www.boston.com

This breaks my heart to see people suffer like this. The humanitarian crisis in Congo has thought to have killed more than 5 million people in a decade and the latest conflict has thought to have displaced a quarter of a million people. Children make up 19% of the population, but account for 47% of the deaths and 45,000 people continue to die each month. I pray that this corruption and fighting ends and the people of Congo can begin the long road of healing.
