Lucas Matagodi at Lianda IDP camp in Mueda. Lucas Matangodi Shilongo is over 70 years old, but he doesn't know exactly how old. He is in Lyanda IDP camp in Mueda district, far from his home in Nangade district further north. 

"If we were at home we would know how to get food, but not here. 

Many of Lucas' neighbours in the camp are also from Nangade. The war there forced thousands of people to flee. Lucas says that in one of the attacks, insurgents killed his wife, one of his children and another of his grandchildren. He cries when he remembers them, especially his wife. He misses her. He is devastated.

"I dream that I'm running away and falling. I dream that I am being chased," he says. 

Lucas lives with his sister and other relatives in one of the windowed cottages built in this part of the camp. His daughter cooks with her granddaughter inside the hut. In the next room, where the conversation takes place, there is a tin roof and an empty sack of rice from India. Lucas recalls the attack on his village. 
"They came in and burnt the houses, they kidnapped many people, I was sleeping in the forest, because they had already tried to attack twice and we were waiting for them, the people had left their houses pre-emptively and were mostly sleeping in the forest on the day of the attack. They attacked during sunset. They burnt houses.

It was not then that his wife, son and grandson were killed. It was in another attack. Many of the camp residents report fleeing several villages and suffering several attacks along the way. 

"Before that attack, my wife went to another village to visit my son, and on the same day the insurgents attacked, captured the village and killed my wife, son and grandson. The other grandchildren fled and they were the ones who informed us". 
Lucas went to the mobile clinic set up by Médecins Sans Frontières in Lyanda camp today for the first time to seek relief. He needs psychological help. 
"On a daily basis, I think mainly of my wife. I am alone. Sometimes I cry. When I wake up, I'm no longer sleepy and I start to think. I feel bad for my grandchildren, I don't want to talk to them about what happened. I don't have any more worries, because I have the support of my grandchildren. What I think about is that I will never be able to see my wife again. 
"For the moment I don't think about going back. I want to stay because I am safe here, what worries me is only the food, because it is not enough".
