Around 60,000 people displaced by fighting in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo are to be moved out of a camp near the city of Goma because of safety fears, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said Friday.

`Given the continuing security threat, provincial authorities, UNHCR and its partners have decided to transfer the more than 60,000 people in the two Kibati camps (near Goma)... as soon as possible, in few days,` said spokesman Ron Redmond.
