Augustine (10) walks out of her family's shelter in an Internally Displaced Persons(IDP) camp in Bunia, March 30, 2018. Augustine, her two siblings and father fled their village after they lost their mother during the attack. It took the family of four two days by foot to reach the IDP camp in Bunia. During the day Augustine looks after the family's home whilst her father (Christian) and siblings walk for two hours to work in the surrounding farms for 1200 Congolese Francs (1 dollar) a day. Food distributions in the camp are rare and not enough for them to survive on, so they must find work to be able to feed themselves. CREDIT: John Wessels / Oxfam (Source: Oxfam | 5 years ago)
