Kibati, Democratic Republic of the Congo, October 28, 2008--Refugees cook in an improvised camp for internally displaced people about 15.5 miles (25 kilometers) north of Goma.

Thousands of refugees have been flowing in and out of the camp in recent days as violence has flared between forces loyal to renegade Tutsi leader Laurent Nkunda and the Congolese army.

"It's chaos up there," Ron Redmond, a spokesman for the United Nations' refugee agency told the Associated Press. Elsewhere, refugees are fleeing Congo to Uganda.
