Having lived in a tent in the Mugunga camp in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo since February, Sifa* constantly worries about how to feed her children.
With fighting between government forces and M23 rebels, Sifa made the difficult decision to leave home with her nine-year-old daughter and her husband – with another three children now in the care of their grandmother – to search for safety and a future for her family. Since fleeing, Sifa’s family has experienced significant weight loss and have been pushed into a state of malnutrition. She gave birth to another child, a son, within the camp.
