La contribution du rwanda dans la prise en charge des victimes de l’éruption volcanique de nyiragongo en république démocratique du Congo

In the countries said in development, the occurrence of numerous volcanic eruptions raises the question of the disaster associated to the "extreme" natural phenomena calling on a hold in charge of emergency of the victims. The volcanic eruption of intervening Nyiragongo May 22, 2021, at the origin of important destructions, the evacuation and the rehousing of the local populations, Rwanda saw itself preoccupied in the hold in charge of emergency of the population touched of the city of Goma in Democratic Republic of Congo. This eruption knew a phase effusive with out-flow of lavas in one failles of the flank Northeast of the volcano and caused frequent earthquakes to various degrees and are more or less évènements at the origin of damages important.
