“#At least 15 people killed in volcanic eruption in eastern Congo<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

At least 15 people died from a volcanic eruption in eastern Congo on Saturday night, officials said.<\/p>\n

Mount Nyiragongo erupted with little warning, devastating the city of Goma, which is home to many of the region\u2019s humanitarian agencies.<\/p>\n

More than 500 homes were destroyed by lava from the blast, which displaced tens of thousands of people in the area.<\/p>\n

By Sunday, over 170 children were still feared missing, according to UNICEF officials.<\/p>\n

The dead included the parents of Aline Bichikwebo.<\/p>\n

Bichikwebo told the Associated Press that she managed to escape with her baby, but was not strong enough to save her mother and father.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am asking for help because everything we had is gone,\u201d she said, clutching her baby.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t even have a pot. We are now orphans and we have nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another city resident, Alumba Sutoye, said: \u201cPeople are still panicking and are hungry. They don\u2019t even know where they are going to spend the night.\u201d<\/p>\n
