This press release warns of the impact of climate change and the risk it poses to communities already affected by food insecurity. It is also a call to the humanitarian community to pay particular attention to the harmful consequences of the floods in Kalehe, which killed more than 400 people and left more than 5,000 missing, including hundreds of children from a school in the area. More assistance to the survivors will help to alleviate the difficulties they face on a daily basis.

This article focuses on the loss of life of pupils in some schools after the floods in Kalehe. Some schools have seen their numbers reduced significantly because of the children who died, others are displaced and others are still affected by the death of their parents and are unable to return to school. With this article, World Vision wants to highlight the need to redirect humanitarian aid by taking into account the mental health of the children affected by the floods.
