In the heart of Manyinga District, where the North-Western Province’s terrain transitions from thick forest to unforgiving, sandy trails, the distant roar of a motorcycle isn’t just noise. To the children of these remote villages, it is the sound of hope arriving.

World Vision’s anticipatory action, supported by Start Fund Nepal and UK Aid, helped vulnerable communities in Madhesh stay warm and safe before the cold wave hit.

Famine is not a natural disaster and can be prevented. Across the world’s hunger hotspots, early warnings are clear, yet governments continue to act too late – or not at all. Conflict, blockades, and the denial of humanitarian access, not food scarcity, are driving a deepening hunger crisis, with children suffering first and longest. As aid budgets are cut, the gap between need and response is widening fast. This is a false economy: preventing famine costs far less than responding once lives are already lost. World Vision warns famine can be predicted and prevented – but only if leaders act early, protect civilians, and put children at the centre of hunger prevention.

This press release reports on a second deadly landslide in five weeks at an artisanal coltan mine in Rubaya, North Kivu, eastern DRC, which has killed at least 56 children and is believed to have claimed more than 200 lives in total. Issued from Goma on 4 March 2026, the statement from World Vision condemns the recurring tragedy and highlights the dangerous working conditions in informal mining sites, where poverty and lack of alternatives force families, including children, to risk their lives. The organisation stresses that coltan, a key mineral used in mobile phones and other electronics, continues to fuel conflict and armed groups in the region. It calls for urgent humanitarian access, stronger child protection measures, sustainable economic alternatives for communities, and stricter regulation of the artisanal mining sector to prevent further loss of life.
