Continuing tremors in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s sixth largest city Goma are complicating recovery efforts following a large volcanic eruption over the weekend.
Mount Nyiragongo, one of the world’s most active and dangerous volcanoes, sent a half-mile wide stream of lava towards Goma, destroying several villages and displacing thousands.
The lava stopped short of the city but continuing tremors have deterred people from returning to their homes and hindered efforts to unblock a main road and restore electricity.
