When Paskazia Kimanuka heard gunfire near her home in eastern Congo in early November, she knew what to do. Grabbing just a few possessions, the 58-year-old widow set off on foot with her six grandchildren - the third time M23 rebels attacks have forced her to flee.
Walking through the night, Kimanuka had to carry the smaller children as they trudged 57 km (35 miles) to a displaced people's camp outside the regional capital Goma - a familiar place of relative safety from fighting surges this year that have displaced over a quarter of a million people.
