Assailants believe to be allied to Daesh kill at least a dozen patients in an overnight attack on a clinic in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
Assailants have killed at least a dozen patients in an attack on a clinic in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo overnight, two witnesses said, blaming the raid on militants allied to Daesh.
An army spokesman confirmed the attack in the town of Lume in North Kivu province, but did not say how many people died. "In the hospital ward there were four patients who all burned to death, in the pediatric unit all the mattresses are burned and in the side wards we just collected nine bodies," said Kule Mwenge Salomon, a nurse at Lume health centre.
"I fled, thinking that they would spare the hospital, but unfortunately they burned my father in the hospital," Vikere said.
