Jan Egeland with Justine, newly displaced people from the Nyiragongo Eruption
Justine, a mother of seven and widow, had to flee from Goma when the Nyiragongo volcano erupted on Saturday night.
"Our house has been completely destroyed by the lava, I have nothing left. We walked 30 km to Sake to seek safety, we are all exhausted."
Justine is displaced for the second time. Her husband was killed by armed groups ten years ago in North Kivu. She had to flee to Goma where she tried to rebuild her life with her children. Now her life, like her house, was destroyed again by the volcano.
