Conflict and humanitarian crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo have taken 5.4 million lives since 1998, according to a survey just released by the International Rescue Committee. That's equivalent to the entire population of Denmark or the state of Colorado perishing within a decade. In fact, it's the greatest loss of life in any conflict since World War II -- and the numbers keep rising. As many as 45,000 people are dying each month.
Last summer, IRC survey teams traveled across the vast country -- by motorbike, canoe, 4-wheel-drive, and on foot -- to research death in order to save lives. They visited 14,000 homes, talking to people about loved ones they lost: not just to violence, but to illnesses that no one dies from in the United States these days. People who died simply because they couldn't access basic health care.
Dr. Rick Brennan, who conducted the study and manages the IRC's health programs in more than 20 countries, hopes the research will raise awareness of this "forgotten" crisis and the dire circumstances of life in Congo. "We want people to give a damn," he says. Watch to find out how you can get involved.

"Always look on the bright side of life." I find that the best way to get everything done right there in Congo, in a fast and efficient way. But everyone's gotta try and act God like this guy here, changing the flow of nature.
