Hundreds of wounded individuals have inundated hospitals in Goma, eastern Congo, as clashes persist between government forces and Rwanda-backed rebels who recently captured the city. The situation has overwhelmed medical facilities, with Bethesda Hospital alone receiving over 100 new patients daily, surpassing its 250-bed capacity.
The conflict, which began on Jan. 26, has resulted in more than 700 fatalities and nearly 3,000 injuries in Goma and its surroundings. The city, home to millions displaced by the crisis, faces one of the world's largest humanitarian emergencies.
