Several neighborhoods in the city of Goma, in North Kivu, have been without drinking water since the beginning of this week.

This situation is observed in the Bujovu and Murara neighborhoods in the commune of Karisimbi.

The same situation exists in the Mabalako health zone in general, and in the Cantine-Aloya and Mabalako agglomerations, where a large number of displaced people from the war in Beni is reported.

The price of a twenty-liter water container has gone from 100 to 200 Congolese francs, and in some places to 500 Congolese francs.

Faced with this situation, the inhabitants of these neighborhoods express their regrets about the price increase of this commodity, which impacts the household budget.

The inhabitants of these various districts deplore the fact that in addition to suffering the Rwandan aggression under the cover of M23, they are forced to wake up in the late hours to go search for water.
