2 REFUGEES DEAD, 22 INJURED AFTER STORM HITS DRC 🇨🇩

Here is one of the grim consequences of foreigners and African leaders exploiting the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) for centuries.

In the Bulengo Camp that hosts more than 100,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) on the outskirts of Goma city in the North Kivu province, a report from @akilimalichoma_ via @chakabars indicates heavy storms left two people dead and 22 injured between the night of 14 March and the morning of 15 March.

The United Nations has said militias, neighbouring countries and multinational corporations have helped stoke violence in the eastern DRC, forcing about 6 million Congolese to seek refuge in overcrowded IDP camps and grapple with meagre resources, as food and shelter are scarce. Every passing storm adds another layer of hardship to their precarious existence.
