The blaze started in a home and quickly spread to two schools, trapping students inside Furaha Secondary and Ujamaa Primary. Witnesses described chaos as children scrambled to escape, many jumping from windows or being crushed in the stampede. With no clear cause yet identified, the fire’s rapid spread is blamed on the area’s dense wooden structures. This tragedy unfolds against a backdrop of ongoing conflict, rebel control since February, and a worsening Ebola outbreak—straining already overwhelmed health services and highlighting the extreme vulnerability of communities caught in this volatile region.
