Internally displaced people (IDP) carry charcoal from the forest at the foot of Nyiragongo volcano in Virunga National Park on January 13, 2023, to the market in Kibati. After the resurgence of the M23 rebellion north of Goma city, tens of thousands of people have crowded into makeshift camps in the Nyiragongo. They are struggling to find enough food for their families, so they turned to charcoal production. In less than two months, more than 200 hectares of trees were cut down. The forest of the Nyiragongo volcano will soon be nothing but stumps. (Photo by Guerchom Ndebo/AFP Photo)
