Egypt slams attack on refugee camp in Congo

CAIRO - 29 November 2021: Egypt has strongly condemned a brutal attack launched by armed militants on a refugee camp in northeastern the Democratic Republic of Congo, leaving scores of civilians dead.

In a press release on Monday, the Foreign Ministry voiced Egypt's solidarity with the Congolese government and victims' families, and support for the DRC in such a terrible tragedy.

A new attack on the Ivo displaced people's camp in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo on Sunday claimed the lives of 22 civilians, an aid worker said.

The same camp was attacked less than a week ago when 29 people were killed.
