Beatrice Gbosi woke up to the sound of gunshots as rebels attacked her village at 5am one morning last month. She fled to the nearby forest but men armed with machetes chased her down, slicing the side of her mouth open and cutting the thumb off her right hand. She eventually escaped, making it to a nearby village before locals escorted her to a hospital. She doesn’t know whether her sisters, aunt, and uncle are alive or dead. “I don’t know if we’ll ever find each other again,” she said, from her bedside at the General Hospital in Bunia.
