Children afflicted by polio dance during a party inside the International Polio Victim Response Committee (IPVRC) compound in Democratic Republic of Congo's capital Kinshasa November 25, 2006. Results from historic elections in Congo were announced last week as the country tries to end years of conflict that has left the country destitute with a broken health care system.

PICTURES OF THE YEAR 2006 Children with their donkey and dog are escorted by police rescue officers from the Cusua village in the laps of Ecuador's Tunguharua volcano, some 178 km south of Quito July 15, 2006. Ecuador's Tungurahua volcano spewed ash, gases and molten rocks on Friday, forcing authorities to evacuate four nearby villages after the crater registered its most volatile activity since a 1999 eruption.
