AI Summary:
Hundreds of wounded people have poured into overcrowded hospitals in Goma, a major city in eastern Congo. Since the start of the M23 rebels’ offensive on goma on Jan. 26, more than 700 people have been killed and nearly 3,000 have been wounded. Bethesda hospital alone said it receives more than 100 new patients each day. The fighting in Congo is deeply rooted in ethnic conflict. Rwanda has claimed the Tutsis are being persecuted by Hutus and former militias. Kyeshero Hospital in Goma is also severely overcrowded, hitting more than 200% of its capacity on some days. Congo's government has confirmed 773 deaths and 2,880 injured persons. The toll could be higher, it said, citing fears of finding mass graves and more bodies. Scores of bodies lay on streets and in hospitals in Goma after the city's capture.
