A fire in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has killed more than 20 children.
Authorities say at least 24 schoolchildren are feared dead in a stampede as they tried to flee a fire that engulfed two schools in rebel-held Bukavu in the eastern DRC.
About 300 houses have also been destroyed in the fire.
The tragedy follows a similar fire in Kinshasa last weekend, where residents died in a stampede at a wedding banquet hall.
