At the intake of the city of Goma in eastern Congo, seven hundred people were killed this week, the United Nations report on Friday. 2,800 people were also injured. The city was taken on Monday by rebels of the armed militia M23, which is supported by neighboring Rwanda and is working on a rapid rise in eastern Congo.
Earlier this week, the UN warned a humanitarian crisis in Goma. According to the UN, more than 700,000 people were fled in the eastern Kivu region. Jens Laerke, chairman of the UN refugee organization, also left know on Tuesday having received messages from rapes and looting by M23 militants.
Despite the involvement of Rwanda in the conflict, it remains silent from the international community. That led on Tuesday to the attack of embassies in the Congolese capital Kinshasa by furious demonstrators. The Dutch embassy was also target.
