Description : Jeanette is a displaced civilian from the Ndondo area, and recently lost 3 children in the ongoing conflict. “We knew the war was coming, my husband had joined a militia, but was killed at the front. Soon the fighting arrived and we fled in December 2025. My daughter died when she was shot, and 2 of my sons fell sick and passed away. I was held hostage by some troops when I was running, but managed to escape. I have 11 surviving children, from 15 years old to ones under 5. They were all so stressed by the fighting. All we want is to return home, but I am too frightened by what has happened”.
