Fighting rages in Goma, embassies in flames in Kinshasa - BBC Africa
The crisis in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo is intensifying - with the AFP News agency reporting that more than 100 people have been killed in the city of Goma as fighting between the M23 rebel group and government forces escalates. The news agency says nearly one thousand others are wounded, based on a tally drawn from city hospitals.
The UN says that dead bodies have been found lying in the streets as M23 fighters push further into Goma - a city of two million people.
The UN says hospitals in Goma are struggling to handle the numbers of people injured.
