00:00 There are cries of distress denouncing the horror of what happened.
00:05 35 coffins draped with the Congolese colours are lined up at Goma's Unity Stadium.
00:10 Families, politicians and other mourners came to pay their last respects to the civilians
00:15 who on May 3rd were killed in shelling that Congo and the United States blamed on the Rwandan army.
00:21 This shocking and traumatic picture is proof of the level of cruelty and guilt of Rwanda
00:29 and its leader Paul Kagame.
00:31 It's revolting.
00:33 At the Mogunga camp, more than a week after the killings,
00:40 the remains of the shelters that were destroyed in the attack are still there.
00:44 The displaced are still scarred by the horror of the shelling.
00:48 Alphonsine saw her daughter killed and has been deeply traumatised.
00:52 The bomb exploded and tore bodies apart.
00:57 When I got up, I saw bits of human flesh scattered on the ground.
01:01 The cassava that I had spread out to dry was covered in blood, and I was covered in flesh.
01:06 This isn't the first time that explosions from shelling have been reported in displacement camps.
01:13 Humanitarian organisations have repeatedly called for international humanitarian law to be respected.
01:18 They have also called for the removal of artillery from the outskirts of the camps.
01:24 We are scared. If the government continues to fire bombs from its positions next to the camps,
01:29 it's certain that we will be hit again.
01:32 They should go and fight on the battlefield and leave us alone here.
01:35 We've already fled the war and they will bring it back here.
01:38 We'll suffer even more.
01:40 In North Kivu province, M23 rebels occupy large swathes of territory
01:47 and almost completely encircle Goma.
01:49 More than two million people have fled the violent clashes
01:53 and are living in inhumane conditions, according to the United Nations.
