Hospitals in eastern Congo are crowded with wounded and exhausting their supplies

Overcrowded hospitals in Goma, Eastern Congo, are treating hundreds of wounded as fighting continues between government forces and Rwanda-backed rebels, who claim to have captured the city of around 2 million people.
Since January 26, the M23 rebels' offensive has resulted in over 700 deaths and nearly 3,000 injuries, according to officials.
The World Health Organization warns that the conflict has created conditions for disease outbreaks, with fears of cholera and Mpox spreading in the region.
Hospitals face severe shortages of medical supplies as fighting disrupts transport and supply chains, with Bethesda Hospital receiving over 100 new patients daily, exceeding its 250-bed capacity.
