In the Democratic Republic of Congo, hospitals are overwhelmed as M23 rebels intensify their hold on Goma, now claiming over 100 lives in a tragic jailbreak in Munzenze, where women were assaulted and burned alive.

International bodies, including the UN and G7 nations, condemn these attacks as flagrant violations of DRC's sovereignty amidst a crisis exacerbated by global battles over local resources.
