In pictures: Eruption aftermath

Days after the devastating eruption of Mount Nyiragongo in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the misery continues as a blast at a petrol station kills about 50 people attempting to loot fuel.

And despite danger from lava and a scarcity of food and water, thousands of refugees are returning to the Goma to salvage what they can from the flames

The blast threw fuel drums and smoke 50 metres into the air

Even now there are fresh lava flows

But people brave the lava to salvage what they can

Children wander on the thin crust of cooled lava

Thousands of refugees are trying to head home

Aid has started to arrive, but supplies are as yet insufficient

And even in the camps, food and medical supplies are scarce
