A young boy flees from renewed fighting in Kibati, 5km north of the provincial capital Goma, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 7 November 2008. He had no family with him, and said that he hadnt seen his mother or father for several days. He didnt answer when asked what his name was. Heavy fighting between armed forces and Congolese soldiers outside of Kibati has forced thousands of people, who have already been displaced, to flee from Kibati IDP camp. Many children have been placed with foster families while attempts are made to trace their own family.

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) was formed in 1963. We are an umbrella organisation for 13 humanitarian aid agencies.

At times of overseas emergency, the DEC brings together a unique alliance of the UK's aid, corporate, public and broadcasting sectors to rally the nation's compassion, and ensure that funds raised go to DEC agencies best placed to deliver effective and timely relief to people most in need.

Transparency and accountability are the watchwords for our activities. The DEC trustees review how our members spend the money you donated, with results published on our website: www.dec.org.uk
