Summary
| Description |
Following torrential rains in the Oriental Province in northern D.R. Congo in November 2012, which destroyed thousands of houses in Dungu, a town located in the extreme north of the province near the border with the Republic of South Sudan, MONUSCO Engineering Unit built an alternative road across the jungle to connect the town to the airfield, and thus facilitate humanitarian access to the area.

Congo, détruisant des milliers d’habitations, notamment dans la ville de Dungu située au Nord du pays non loin de la frontière avec la République du Sud Soudan, l’unité du génie civil de la MONUSCO s’était mobilisée pour ouvrir une voie alternative à travers la foret dense pour relier la ville à la piste d’atterrissage et faciliter ainsi l’accès humanitaire à la population locale.
