Video: 250,000 displaced by DRC fighting

At least 250,000 civilians, most of them women and children, have been displaced by recent fighting in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.


This has brought the total number of internally displaced persons in North Kivu from this and previous rounds of conflict to well over one million and to as high as 1.6 million according to some estimates.

Most are in a desperate situation, without sufficient food, water, medical supplies or shelter.
