Over 20 Children Die In School Fire In Eastern Dr Congo

More than 20 children have died in a fire at two schools in Bukavu, in eastern DR Congo. Local officials say the fire broke out and spread quickly. They report that when the flames began, students and other people tried to run outside. In the confusion, a stampede happened. Many children were injured during the rush to escape, and more than 20 later died. The city is in a rebel-held area, which can make rescue and support more difficult. Authorities are working on the scene and trying to understand what caused the fire. Families and the community are mourning the loss of children.
