A refugee's moment of silence

South African photographer John Wessels took this image of Anny, 30, in a church after she fled the fighting in the Kasai region of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Nearly one and a half million people have been displaced from their homes.

John explains what happened to Anny and what he thinks makes this photo so special.
