Internal displacement in 2010: What are the major challenges? 2010, para. 48
Paragraph
Paragraph text
In rural settings, internally displaced persons often stay with host families or host communities. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, for instance, an estimated 70 per cent of internally displaced persons have been taken in by host families in keeping with African traditions of hospitality. Accessing and supporting these internally displaced persons and their hosts are often not given enough priority by national authorities and their humanitarian partners.
