  School Fire Turns Deadly As At Least 20 Students Die In Stampede


At least 20 students were killed and several others seriously injured after a fire broke out at two primary schools in Bukavu, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, on Thursday morning.


The incident occurred at Ujamaa and Furaha primary schools in the Chimpunda district of South Kivu’s provincial capital at around 8 a.m. local time.


According to local authorities, some of the students died in a stampede as they attempted to escape the flames.


Several others reportedly suffered serious burns and smoke inhalation and were taken to nearby health facilities in critical condition.


The fire was said to have started at a nearby building before spreading to the schools, although authorities had yet to establish the cause of the blaze.


The destruction reportedly extended beyond the schools, with nearly 500 homes and a clinic also affected by the fire.


Bukavu is currently under the control of the AFC/M23 rebel group.


Authorities said the death toll remained provisional as emergency and assessment efforts continued.


The tragedy comes only days after another deadly fire at a wedding venue in Kinshasa reportedly killed 22 people and left several others injured.
