The UN human rights chief accused Rwanda-backed rebels who seized a second major city in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) of killing children and attacking hospitals and warehouses storing humanitarian aid.

The U.N. says more than 110,000 displaced people have in recent days left settlement camps in eastern Congo’s cities controlled by Rwanda-backed rebels after the rebels were accused of forced camp closures.

The accusation comes after M23 seized more territory in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo. View on euronews

The United Nations Human Rights Council earlier this month launched a commission that will investigate atrocities.
