Why so many people died in Democratic Republic of Congo?

Why still so many people died in Democratic Republic of Congo even after six years of its civil war?

People died, not because of gun, because of disease and hunger

Followed the location recording, I saw the women got her miscarriage and watched her surrounded by blood, and heard her weak voice, it was a terrific documentary opening, I had to admit that.

The Democratic Republic of Congo ended its civil war in 2002, however, up to date six years later, lots of civilians were still living in a horrible condition and still were many people dying.

Like the women described at the beginning, she would died if there was no anti-biotic medicine which carried by the doctor followed by a BBC journalist.

People were dying not because of guns, because of diseases and hunger, there was no food. A family were described in the documentary, have already lost six children in the last couple of years.

Local people were difficult to access health care facilities, Malaria and other diseases frequently cause death.

That is reason why still so many people died even six years later after end of its civil war.
