Press release highlights the dangers faced by children and adults working in mines in North Kivu, DRC

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.

Nokuthula S. Khumalo, Technical Director Global Humanitarian Surge, highlights that in prolonged crises like Syria, it is not organisational charts that protect children, but trust. As humanitarian systems shift under funding pressure and political change, Thula reflects on how internal instability shows up in delayed care, weakened safeguarding, and broken continuity for children. Opening offices is quick; earning staff confidence after years of uncertainty is not. Thula emphasises that listening, presence and honest communication matter more than procedural fixes when certainty is impossible. Fourteen years into the Syria crisis, if children are to experience continuity, safety, and care during humanitarian transitions, then staff stability and trust must be funded as deliberately as security, supply chains or monitoring systems. Trusted frontline teams are the backbone of safe, child-focused action.
