Mount Nyiragongo: Half a million without water in DR Congo – charity
Nearly 500,000 people in the Democratic Republic of Congo have been left without clean drinking water after a volcano erupted, the charity Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has warned. It says because cholera is endemic and poses a great threat there is an urgent need to provide people in the eastern city of Goma with safe drinking water. A reservoir and pipes were damaged when Mount Nyiragongo erupted on 22 May. Hundreds of thousands of people are still unable to return to their homes.
