DRC : Nyiragongo volcano eruption in Goma

After the eruption of the Nyiragongo volcano May 22, Goma’s provincial authorities have ordered a partial evacuation of the city of Goma due to the risk of further eruptions, earthquake and subsequent consequences eruption from the flank of Mount Nyiragongo, leading to a vast and continuous movement of people between Goma and Sake, 25 km further west, and across the lake between Goma and Bukavu.

The volcanic eruption on 22-23 May created a lava stream that finally spared Goma but destroyed four villages north of the city. At least 31 people have reportedly died, more injured, and 21,000 people are internally displaced as of May 26, according to the United Nations. Thousands of people took refuge in neighbouring Rwanda.

Some have left everything behind and seek shelter from earthquakes. Today, the city of Sake, which usually has 21,000 inhabitants, has no more influx of displaced people: cholera threatens the thousands of people who have found refuge. MSF is stepping up epidemiological surveillance and mobilizing its teams in an endemic area.
