DR Congo: Fighting Intensifies in Goma, More Than 700 Killed, 2800 Injured in 7 Days | N18G
The ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has escalated dramatically, with the United Nations reporting over 700 deaths and 2,800 injuries in just seven days of intense fighting in Goma city since January 26. M23 rebels, backed by Rwanda, have seized Goma, the largest city and provincial capital of eastern DRC's North Kivu province, and are advancing toward the city of Bukavu. The government has set up defences, with civilian volunteers also taking part in the fight. The humanitarian crisis is worsening, with food, water, and medical supplies running low, while fears of disease outbreaks grow due to the lack of safe drinking water.
