When Paskazia Kimanuka heard gunfire near her home in eastern Congo in early November, she knew what to do.

Walking through the night, Kimanuka had to carry the smaller children as they trudged 57 km to a displaced people camp outside the regional capital Goma, a familiar place of relative safety from fighting surges this year that have displaced over a quarter of a million people.

“We abandoned our homes to sleep badly and eat badly in places of refuge,” she recalled. She returned to rebuild her life in her hometown of Rutshuru, but this year fresh M23 offensives forced her twice more from the town. The M23 is seeking to pressure Congolese authorities to fulfil agreements with Rwandan-backed armed groups that include allowing rebels to reintegrate into the regular army.

They have not only lost their homes, but also their usual means of supporting themselves with subsistence farming or trading, creating a humanitarian crisis that has led Congo to have the largest number of food insecure people in the world, according to the latest U.N. data.
