Mariamu, 14, in Mugunga 1 camp (the oldest camp near Goma) – “Life was good. We had food from the farm and a nice home. We had goats and chickens, and I was able to go to school. Now it's very hard. Living in the camp for a girl is not good because when you do not have anything to eat, you can easily become a prostitute. To buy food, I go to collect firewood in the bush. It is not good because sometimes they chase us. Some of us are caught and raped or wounded.” Decades of armed conflict have displaced 2.9 million people. About 6.7 million need assistance now. Unrest in the Central African Republic has forced about 60,000 refugees into the northwestern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Violence in Katanga province, to the southeast, displaced about 409,000 people in recent months. In the east, dozens of rebel groups fight for control over mineral-rich land or political clout. The surrender in November of the M23 rebel group, near the country’s borders with Rwanda and Uganda, triggered a military campaign to quell further violence in the region. DRC ranks last out of 186 countries on the Human Development Index. worldvisionmagazine.org

" More than 3 million Malians may run out of food in the coming months as a result of below-average harvests and the lingering effects of conflict. About 800,000 people need food assistance, according to World Vision and other agencies that are helping communities deal with lack of food supplies. This represents a larger struggle throughout West Africa, where conflict, the third drought in a decade, and political instability hinder millions of families’ ability to get back on their feet. worldvisionmagazine.org

" Thousands have died and nearly 900,000 people have been displaced since fighting erupted December 15 in the world’s youngest nation (South Sudan). Clashes between South Sudan’s army and fighters loyal to the former vice president broke a cease-fire signed in January and hinder aid agencies’ efforts to bring food and basic supplies to families in need. Since December, armed conflict has killed thousands and driven more than 1.3 million South Sudanese from their homes. worldvision.org
