Why so much noise about Arab children dying in GAZA?

The United Nations refugee agency has reached towns in the strife-torn eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the scene of bloody attacks carried out by the notorious Ugandan rebel group known as the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA).

Over the weekend, a team from the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNCHR) and other UN agencies carried out a mission in the towns of Tadu and Faradje in Orientale Province.

Faradje, which lies 100 kilometres west of the DRC’s border with Sudan and Uganda, was attacked from 25-26 December, leaving over 70 people dead and displacing nearly 40,000 others. Those who fled the town and local organizations said that more than 80 women were raped during the two-day period.

UNHCR said that people in the district are shocked and traumatized by the attacks. “Our mission found Faradje pillaged and destroyed by fire,” agency spokesperson Ron Redmond told reporters in Geneva.

Over 800 houses, three schools, government buildings and health care centres had burned, with most families losing their annual harvest in the fire.

The nearby village of Nagero came under attack on 3 January, claiming eight lives and uprooting 3,500 people.
