A huge number of bodies are in need of burial in East Congo

A huge number of bodies are awaiting to be buried in the conflict-torn East Congo after massive casualties were inflicted in the process of take-over Goma, an Eastern Congo city by the Rwanda supported M-23 rebels, according to reports.

Thousands have been displaced from their settlements and have migrated to safer places. This civil war in Congo has resulted in a major humanitarian crisis after a massive displacement and migration.

The rebel group M-23 has declared a ceasefire.

Goma, east Congo's largest city and capital of North Kivu province, is repository of precious minerals.
