KIGALI, May 23, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – At least 3,000 people have fled an eastern city in the Democratic Republic of Congo for Rwanda on Sunday after the eruption of Mount Nyiragongo.
The government ordered an evacuation after the volcano, which overlooks the regional capital city Goma, began erupting Saturday.
“At least 3,000 people from Goma, in DRC, have already crossed to Rwanda,” the public broadcaster the Rwanda Broadcast Agency tweeted citing the latest figures from Rwanda immigration authorities at the Rwanda-DRC border.
The account also tweeted photos of people arriving in Rubavu district in Rwanda, adding that they would be “accommodated in schools and places of worship that have been made ready”.
