Here's how most people die in the Congo

When you think about the war in Congo, you think of opposing armed groups shooting at one another. True but here's how most people die in the Congo without being shot. This is especially true of the young children five years old and under.

Scores dying from disease in Congo conflict - CNN.com:

"The number of young children dying from preventable diseases like malaria and diarrhea has increased dramatically because of war in eastern Congo, an aid agency announced Wednesday.

Displaced people fleeing the violence are living in poor conditions as they walk for days through the forests to get to camps in and around the provincial capital of Goma, World Vision said.

Hospitals have seen an influx of patients suffering from preventable diseases, the aid group said.

'You can imagine if you've got young children who are really vulnerable, that walking and sleeping under nothing, walking through the forest [will affect them],' said Anna Ridout, part of World Vision's emergency team in Goma.

Cold and damp conditions lead to respiratory distress, she said. Some of those pushed from their homes suffer extreme cases of diarrhea caused by bad sanitation, which leads to dehydration, Ridout said."
