 More than 100,000 children have been displaced by the latest escalation in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, UNICEF said on Sunday, warning the numbers are expected to rise as violence spreads. Since Dec. 1, intense fighting has uprooted more than 500,000 people, with children accounting for over 100,000 of those displaced in South Kivu alone, the UN agency said in a statement released Sunday. It said since Dec. 2, hundreds have been killed in the fighting, and children have been among the victims, with four students killed, six injured, and at least seven schools attacked or damaged. The rapid escalation has forced hundreds of thousands of children and families to flee within Congo and into neighboring Burundi and Rwanda, it added. Many people fleeing the violence have crossed into Burundi, with over 50,000 new arrivals reported between Dec. 6 and 11, nearly half of them children, UNICEF said, adding that the numbers are expected to rise as more displaced are identified. “Chi...

As Demarion was working on changing the tire, Lejla stood outside of the disabled Kia watching while her friend worked.  At approximately 11:45 p.m., a Dodge Ram that was traveling northbound on Broadway attempted to use the entrance ramp to get onto I-55. The Driver of the Dodge Ram unfortunately struck Lejla and Demarion as he was changing her tire. The Dodge Ram eventually came to a stop after striking a nearby guardrail. Lejla was pronounced deceased on scene. Demarion was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was ultimately pronounced deceased. The dri...
