The M23 armed group and Rwandan troops last week captured Goma, the capital of the mineral-rich DRC province of North Kivu, blighted by three decades of conflict.
The NGO said it had “set up a taskforce to ensure the repatriation of the killed employees and support for their families”.
“All project activities in North Kivu have been suspended until further notice”.
The lightning offensive marks a major escalation in the vast central African country’s volatile east, which has been by plagued by fighting between armed groups backed by regional rivals since the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
HEKS/EPER has been present in DR Congo since 2019, and has been working in North Kivu on aid projects, including urgent aid to displaced families, ensuring supplies of drinking water and working on road infrastructure to open humanitarian access.
Its projects in DR Congo are funded by among others the US Agency for International Development (USAID), which has been basically shut down since President Donald Trump returned to power last month.
