Goma jailbreak: More than 100 women raped and burned alive in DR Congo, UN says

The BBC has not been able to verify the reports.

Goma, a major city of more than a million people, was captured after the Rwanda-backed M23 executed a rapid advance through eastern DR Congo.

The city was plunged into chaos, with bodies lying in the streets and missiles reportedly flying over residential homes.

Footage from last week’s jailbreak showed people fleeing from the building as smoke rose in the background. Heavy gunfire could also be heard.

In a separate video, people believed to be the escaped prisoners, filed through Goma’s streets.

More than 2,000 people were killed as the M23 clashed with the Congolese forces and their allies, DR Congo’s government has said.

The UN says at least 900 people were killed and almost 3,000 injured. It was unclear why the UN and DR Congo’s death tolls vary.

Earlier this week, the rebels announced a ceasefire on humanitarian grounds, however there have been reports of renewed fighting on Wednesday.
