At least one child died and two others missing in the North Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of Congo following a landslide.

The children, aged 10 to 15, were swept away by a landslide in a bid to recover the food.

So we came very early this morning to try again, but nothing progresses, so I’m waiting here” said Desire Musekura, a father of one of the victims told our Correspondent, Mpoyo Ngole Gael.

There are old people dying of hunger, orphans who have nothing, and because of that the children came to recover the spoiled food and they fell down!

“They make the population of North Kivu province unsafe because the product declared unfit for consumption is considered poison, and for us we can’t tolerate this behavior, that’s why we first put them at the disposal of justice and disciplinary actions are opened for those agents who couldn’t give good advice”, Kasivita said.
