The situation in Eastern Congo the worst humanitarian tragedy since the Holocaust.
- John O'Shea, chief executive of the Irish relief agency GOAL
There is hope for the suffering people of Congo.

According to the International Rescue Committee's recent [April 2004] Congo Mortality Survey, 3.8 million Congolese have died since 1998 as a consequence of armed conflict. That is the equivalent of the population of Los Angeles, Calif.
"Congo remains by far the deadliest war in the world since World War II, but year after year the conflict festers and the international community fails to take action."
- Dr. Richard Brennan, director of health programs, International Rescue Committee
