Bomb kills at least 12 people, including children, at two displacement camps in eastern Congo

GOMA, Congo (AP) — Attacks on two camps for displaced people in eastern Congo’s North Kivu province on Friday killed at least 12 people, including children, according to local officials, an aid group and the United Nations.

The U.N. said in a statement that bombs hit two camps for displaced people in Lac Vert and Mugunga, near the city of Goma, the provincial capital of North Kivu.

The U.N. called the attacks a “flagrant violation of human rights and international humanitarian law and may constitute a war crime”.
