A horrific fire tore through Bukavu’s Chimpunda district, killing at least 20 people and injuring dozens more as students fled in panic, triggering a deadly stampede. The blaze, which began at a school and raced into nearby homes, left hundreds of dwellings destroyed and medical facilities overwhelmed with smoke inhalation victims — many critically ill. With the city under Rwanda-backed M23 rebels for over a year, this tragedy follows a string of recent fires, raising alarms about instability and inadequate response. Families grieve children lost, while the community grapples with devastation still unfolding.
