SOUNDBITE: (English) Ian Byram, ICRC Coordinator: "Well the International Committee of the Red Cross has a partner here which is the Congolese Red Cross Society.

ICRC workers checking identities of IDPs STORYLINE: The United Nations mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (Monuc) travelled to Kiwanja about 80 kilometres north of Goma on Thursday where several thousand civilians were taking refuge to escape fighting last week between the rebels and pro-government militias. This week, Monuc justified its call for reinforcements to stabilise the volatile eastern part of the country to the Security Council in New York. Speaking from Kiwanja, Leila Zerrougui told reporters "I think we need more understanding, I think we've had a lot of misunderstandings - so we would have to correct them - I believe this misunderstanding will be corrected, our peacekeepers have their orders to protect civilians." After a closed-door meeting on Tuesday, members of the 15-nation UN Security Council said a broad agreement exists for beefing up the 17-thousand strong UN peacekeeping force in Democratic Republic of Congo, which has been unable to stop the fighting or halt the rebel advance. But so far only Angola has publicly committed to sending extra troops following the Southern African Development Community meeting in South Africa this weekend. Meanwhile in a camp in Kibati, thousands of displaced people lined up to get survival kits and aid being handed out from five white International Committee of the Red Cross trucks. The kits contained buckets, blankets, soap, hoes and cooking utensils, said an ICRC official. Many are to afraid to return to villages to the north seized by rebels in the last few weeks.
