| A woman, named Anne, stands in the charred remains of Barlonyo camp, near Lira in northern Uganda, the scene of a massacre at the weekend. |
 |
| The camp was meant to be a safe haven for refugees, but more than 190 people were killed. It is thought the Lord's Resistance Army carried out the killings. |
 |
| The small militia meant to defend the camp was overpowered by the rebels. Later Ugandan soldiers arrived to secure the area. |
 |
| Families took refuge in huts when the rebels arrived. But the attackers simply set light to the buildings, burning many alive and leaving others with terrible injuries. |
 |
| Family members hold down a boy who has been taken to the Lira hospital in northern Uganda for treatment. |
 |
| The LRA rebels are notorious for their brutality. They have a record of chopping off the limbs, lips and ears of their victims. |
