A raid by militiamen on a camp for displaced people in the Democratic Republic of Congo has left at least 12 people dead.
Some civil society groups put the number of casualties many times higher.
A monitoring group said the attack in the north-eastern province of Ituri province had been carried out by militias claiming to defend the Lendu community.

Most of the people at the camp were members of the rival Hema community.
The armed group, the Cooperative for the Development of Congo (Codeco) – whose members are mostly Lendu – has been blamed for killing hundreds of civilians in Ituri in the last two years.
