A member of the Congolese Red Cross sprays disinfectant on body bags containing human remains during a mass burial for victims of the clashes in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo at Musigiko cemetery in Bukavu on February 20, 2025. In February 2025, the Rwanda-backed M23 armed rebel group launched a rapid offensive and took control of Bukavu, the South Kivu provincial capital, after clashes with Congolese forces. Looting and heavy shelling in parts of the city left streets empty, morgues and hospitals overwhelmed, and triggered mass displacement. As a result, neighbouring Burundi received some 10,000 refugees within three days and more than 70,000 by April, the largest influx the country has seen in decades.
