DR Congo's amputees bear scars of years of conflict
ICRC-supported centres in eastern DRC have treated over 800 amputees this year amid M23 violence, with 80% of cases linked to bullet wounds, officials said.
- The M23 rebel group seized control of Goma, a city in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, leaving many civilians injured or with lost limbs during the violent offensive.
- David Muhire, a 25-year-old farmer, lost his right arm and leg when an explosive device went off while he was grazing cows near his village.
- The M23 is one of many armed groups plaguing eastern DRC with violence stemming from conflicts dating back to the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
