At least 10 people are dying every day in displacement camps in Gety, in the northeastern district of Ituri, Democratic Republic of Congo, according to Modibo Traore, the head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Bunia, capital of Ituri. According to OCHA-Bunia's recent statistics, two-thirds of the deaths are children younger than five years, whose immune systems have been weakened by malnutrition.
