A boy carrying an umbrella and a handful of scavenged corn flour searches the ground for more spilled food aid at a distribution center in Rutshuru, 70 km (50 miles) north of Goma in eastern Congo, November 14, 2008. Aid workers began feeding tens of thousands of civilians in rebel-held areas of eastern Congo on Friday for the first time in weeks after a U.N. food convoy crossed the front lines. Fighting between the army and Tutsi rebels led by General Laurent Nkunda has forced some 250,000 people from their homes in Democratic Republic of Congo's North Kivu province since late August, resulting in what the U.N. has called a humanitarian catastrophe and fears of a broader war.
