More than 7,000 people have been killed in eastern DRC since January as M23 rebels, backed by Rwanda, seize major cities, including Goma and Bukavu.

In Goma alone, 3,000 deaths have been reported, with 2,500 bodies buried unidentified and 1,500 still in morgues. Many of the dead are civilians.

The violence has also displaced 450,000 people following the destruction of 90 camps.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned the conflict could destabilise the region, while Rwanda denies supporting the rebels. Prime Minister Judith Suminwa has urged urgent international action to enforce a UN resolution demanding Rwanda’s military withdrawal.

At least 773 people were killed in eastern Congo's largest city of Goma and its vicinity this week amid fighting with Rwanda-backed rebels who captured the city in a major escalation of a decadelong conflict, Congolese authorities said Saturday. The rebels' advance into other areas was slowed by a weakened military that recovered some villages from them. Authorities confirmed 773 bodies and 2,880 injured persons in Goma's morgues and hospitals, Congolese government spokesperson Patrick Muyaya told a briefing in the capital, Kinshasa, adding that the death toll could be higher.

"I'm sorry. I'm rusty. I feel disconnected. This is hard. We're out of touch. I'll start again. I'll try to be simple. The last time I saw you, you asked me to tell you what I wanted. You said you couldn't tell. You don't even have a favourite colour, you said. But that's not true. My favourite colour is your favourite colour. My favourite meal, yours. Why does this make you so angry? I have my own mind but my desire is not thinking; it's an echo, a reverberating shock. I am so much yours, I am no longer myself. Is that so wrong?"

Rwanda: Ensure Humanitarian Aid Reaches Goma

Urgently Restore Access to Assistance; Protect Displaced People

(Nairobi) – Rwandan forces and the abusive M23 armed group should urgently ensure access to and facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to the population of Goma in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, Human Rights Watch said today. Recent fighting and the shelling of medical infrastructure in the city, which the M23 captured on January 27, 2025, has severely limited aid to those in need.

The Rwanda Defence Force and M23 occupying Goma should immediately ensure that civilians, including displaced people, are not denied access to items essential for their survival, such as water, food, and medicine. The occupying forces should also facilitate safe passage to areas under control of Congolese forces for civilians who choose to leave the city.

“Rwandan and M23 forces need to urgently address the humanitarian catastrophe after hundreds of thousands of displaced people who had fled the fighting in recent weeks arrived in Goma,” said Lewis Mudge, Central Africa director at Human Rights Watch. “All the warring parties need to ensure that people have access to food and medical care and that aid workers are able to move freely to deliver assistance.”

The M23 and Rwandan forces were opposed by the Congolese armed forces (Forces armées de la République démocratique du Congo) and a coalition of abusive militias known as “Wazalendo” (“patriots” in Swahili), as well as United Nations peacekeepers and Southern African forces that were deployed to block the M23’s advance.

Goma, the capital of North Kivu province, normally has over one million residents and already had housed over a half a million displaced people before the most recent fighting and the arrival of thousands more, according to the UN. The fighting in Goma has interrupted activities by humanitarian agencies and organizations, including those providing essential aid to displaced and vulnerable populations across North and South Kivu provinces.
