ADDITIONAL $9 MILLION PLEDGED FOR THE HUMANITARIAN RESPONSEThe Netherlands and the United Kingdom respectively pledged US$3 and $6 million to the DRC Humanitarian Fund to support the humanitarian response in the Kasai region. This new funding comes in addition to the US$2 million allocation from the DRC Humanitarian Fund for assistance in the sectors of protection and education which had been suspended a few weeks ago for technical reasons and was launched this week. The total funding announced amounts to $16.8 million, which represents 26% of the total $64.5 million required in the Flash Appeal. Funding being currently used in the field represents a total of $7.4 million - 11% of the total amount required in the Flash Appeal.
