DRC: Tens of thousands of IDPs on the move again in North Kivu

Up to 40,000 people poured out of two camps for displaced civilians near the main town in Democratic Republic of Congo’s North Kivu province after fierce fighting broke out nearby, according to the UN. “Shooting, some from heavy weapons, could be heard this [13 November] morning near the camps. Between 30,000 and 40,000 people who were living there are on the road to Goma,” said Louis Igneault, spokesman for the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
