DR Congo conflict: UN says humanitarian situation deteriorating

UN officials say they're gravely concerned about the worsening humanitarian crisis in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Government troops are battling armed groups, including M23 fighters in mineral rich areas in the east of the country. M23 have taken control of several towns, and the provincial capital Goma is under threat. Decades of conflict have displaced more than seven million people.
