BUNIA, North East Congo — Baptist World Aid (BWAid), the relief and development arm of the Baptist World Alliance (BWA), is sending $4,000 to cover the cost of medicines and medical supplies to be used in Bunia, North East Congo, where ethnic clashes have left many dead and others seriously injured. The horror of the situation has been amplified not only with reports of the fighting and abuse of so many innocent civilians, but now with stories of cannibalism.
Dr. Jo Lusi, a Baptist medical doctor, is the director of Doctors on Call for Service (Docs), based in Goma, Congo. Lusi and colleagues headed north for Bunia after hearing reports of the fighting and injuries, taking supplies originally allocated for Goma. BWAid’s donation of $4,000 will enable Docs to replace these supplies.
