Original: MONUSCO provides protection to civilians fleeing violence in Ituri
The UN stabilization mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, MONUSCO, is providing protection to civilians fleeing violence in Ituri province.

The mission's peacekeepers are sheltering and assisting those escaping the fighting, in line with its mandate to protect civilians.
Why now: Ongoing armed violence and displacement in Ituri keep the UN mission's civilian protection role in the news.
