KINSHASA: Around 3,000 people fled the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)'s eastern city of Goma for neighbouring Rwanda on Sunday as lava from a volcanic eruption reached the airport of the city. The evacuation plan for Goma has been activated, said government spokesman Patrick Muyaya after an emergency government meeting to discuss the situation.
