Fire destroys around 20 homes in Nyamugo, Bukavu

A fire on Wednesday destroyed around 20 homes on Avenue Virunga in the Nyamugo neighborhood of Bukavu. No deaths were reported, but several families are homeless after the blaze started in one house and spread to neighboring homes. Kadutu civil society, through Christian Baguma, is calling for humanitarian assistance and urging residents to use qualified people for electrical installations. The fire has revived concerns following September blazes in Bukavu, including one that killed 27 pupils at the Furaha and Ujamaa school complexes.
