[ August 23, 2023   //   Chris Lewis ]

The EU has launched a humanitarian air bridge operation to Goma in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is organising flights from Europe, carrying materials, including health and nutrition supplies to Nairobi, from where the supplies are transported to Goma. The first two flights arrived in Goma on 22 August, with a total of eight scheduled to take place until the end of of the month. It follows a similar operation between March and May 2023, which transported a total of 260 tonnes of supplies via seven flights.
