STORYLINE:

Fighting between mutineers from the M23 rebel group and the FARDC (Congolese army) has caused population, the FARDC and their families to flee from their villages in North Kivu province.

As the fighting intensified, more and people have been fleeing toward Goma the capital of North Kivu.

UN peace-keepers from the Indian, Uruguayan and South Africa army have deployed to several towns and villages to protect the civilians. Last week, two Indian soldiers were killed in the cross fire between the rebels and the FARDC.

The rebels have been advancing on key towns within the province as a weak FARDC started fleeing the fighting.
