World Food Programme Fighting Hunger Worldwide

Workers stack boxes of food onto trucks at WFP's Goma area office for distribution to people returning home in North Kivu. Better security conditions in parts of the province allowed WFP to deliver food to more than 60,000 returnees in early December.

At Kibumba, about an hour's drive north of Goma, humanitarian workers check WFP food distribution lists for displaced people coming home.

People wait patiently in line for WFP rations of maize flour, oil, salt and pulses.

After weeks of hardship, these women will be able to cook a hearty meal for their families with WFP rations.

Residents head home with their rations to the village of Buhumba, about two kilometres from a WFP food distrubution point.

...like on a chukudu, a traditional North Kivu push bike.

WFP food is helping people returning to Buhuma village reconstruct their lives.

Buhuma's residents depend on the land for a living. Armed groups pillaged their harvests of cauliflower, potatoes and beans.

Buhuma's primary school has reopened...which makes these kids very happy.
