The BBC meets residents of Goma following the rebel takeover and those being forced by the M23 to leave camps.

As Rwanda-backed rebels strolled through the streets of eastern Democratic Republic of Congo's second-largest city, President Felix Tshisekedi's office claimed it was actually still controlled by his army and "valiant" allied forces.

The fighting in recent weeks has raised fears of a repeat of the Second Congo War, from 1998 to 2003, which drew in multiple African countries and resulted in millions of deaths. The World Health Organization on Wednesday said about 90 sites of internally displaced persons in the city of Goma were destroyed amid rebel hostilities.
