Multiple students die in Congo school fire
More than 26 students have died, and dozens have been injured in a fire that broke out on Thursday at two adjacent schools in Bokavo city, in eastern Congo. It was reported that the fire started in a house before spreading to the schools, resulting in some students suffocating and being buried inside the buildings. The cause is unknown, but circumstances suggest that the wooden houses and the crowded neighborhood contributed to the rapid spread. The area is also facing health pressures due to the spread of the Ebola virus, which has claimed over 3,300 lives. The incident highlights the danger of fires in densely populated areas with unstable buildings.
