Death toll from clashes in east DRC's Goma soars to 2,900: UN
Clashes last week in the eastern Congolese city of Goma, which saw the M23 armed group and Rwandan forces seize control, have left at least 2,900 people dead, a United Nations official says. "So far, 2,000 bodies have been collected from the Goma streets in recent days, and 900 bodies remain in the morgues of the Goma hospitals," Vivian van de Perre, deputy chief of the UN peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO), tells a video news conference.
