  • A girl suffering from cholera sits on her bed at the Virunga cholera treament center in Goma, Eastern Democratic of Congo on Monday December 15, 2008. Mungwiko is the second of eight siblings to be infected with cholera. With the recent displacement of over 300,000 people in DRC's North Kivu province, thousands of people are living in close proximity, in IDP camps or in host families, increasing the stress on already scarce water supply networks and increasing the transmission rate of infectious diseases such as cholera.

  • A boy waits to have his jerican filled with water from a water tank in Goma, Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo on Monday December 15, 2008. Goma's Majengo neighborhood is almost entirely built on lava, after the nearby volcano erupted in 2002. As a result, there is no working water supply network, and residents, often children, must sometimes walk several kilometers to go buy water from tanks spread around the area.

  • Kobenda Walemba, his wife Emerance Masca, and their two children stand in an empty room of the small house they rent for $10 a month in Goma, Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo on Monday December 15, 2008. The couple has been in Goma for three weeks, which they reached after walking for 9 hours after violence broke out in Kiwanja, where they lived. "We saw that if we went to stay in the camp, we would get diarrhea, we would get sick, because of all the people who stay there," explains Walemba. "We had a little bit of money so we found this house. We don't sleep well, we have no food. To find water to drink is a problem. I hope our children can have a good life."
