How Congo crisis is worsening humanitarian situation
Congolese civilians who fled from Goma, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, wash their feet after arriving at a reception centre in Rugerero near Gisenyi, in Rubavu district, Rwanda on January 28, 2025.
The war between the M23/AFC and the Congolese army, which has been going on for more than three years, has now crystallised in the town of Goma, where a fierce battle has been going on since Sunday.
But the fighting is having a serious impact on the region. In Kahembe district, close to the neutral zone, there have been heavy casualties. According to some reports, at least 100 people have died in the fighting in three days, with dozens wounded.
