Some of the people who fled the violence in Ituri, northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, have come home only to find a harsh reality awaiting them.
Various armed groups have buried landmines everywhere as they retreated, and some parents have had to bury their children as a result.
A state of emergency was declared in the region in early May and the army began battling rebels, but the situation has not improved for those living there.
