Crisis Escalates in Eastern Congo: Refugees Fleeing, Church Prays for Peace

Aid groups are warning of a new humanitarian crisis in eastern Congo as the armed rebel group M23 advances, threatening to cut off a major city and leaving millions struggling for food and medical help. The region has been plagued by conflict for years, with M23 and other armed groups vying for control in the mineral-rich area near the border with Rwanda. Tensions between Congo and Rwanda are escalating, with accusations of supporting various armed groups. The upsurge in fighting has already displaced 1 million people, and the situation could lead to an escalation of regional tensions and involve more countries.
