A mother rests before finishing her shelter at the Mugunga I site for internally displaced people in Goma, North Kivu Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo, on Feb. 22, 2008. This picture resembles many others taken this month. The Rwandan and Ugandan M23 militia surrounds Goma, even though it has formally withdrawn in response to international pressure. Sources in Goma say the people are terrified. The UNHCR says that 900,000 more people have been made homeless by M23’s war since April, and over 750 children have been reported missing. – Photo: © A.
