DR Congo refugee camps 'burned'
Found on BBC News on Thursday, 30 October 2008
The UN says it has credible reports that camps sheltering 50,000 displaced people in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo have been destroyed.
Reports suggest the camps were forcibly emptied and looted before being burned, the UN refugee agency, the UNHCR, said.
A ceasefire is holding in and around Goma, the capital of North Kivu province, but aid agency chiefs say the situation remains highly volatile.
Personally, I'd stop all first aid and support units and make sure nothing goes in or out of the involved countries until they managed to solve their conflicts; one way or another. I don't see much reason to help and build up everything when it gets destroyed again. They have the money to buy weapons and support troops, but at the same time, they cannot afford food. Supporting a "feed us, so we can fight" policy shouldn't work.
