ESSAY ON: Nyiragongo Eruption

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: 5 pages in length. On Friday, January 25th 2002, the people of Goma were sieged upon by one of Mother Nature's most devastating natural disasters: volcanic eruption. Approximately one hundred forty-seven people were killed by Nyiragongo – one of Africa's most notable volcanoes – with another two hundred fifty thousand displaced from their homes and community. Evacuation efforts commenced at once – but many say not soon enough – allowing for one-third to head west toward Sake, while another two-thirds headed east to Gisenyi in Rwanda. Clearly, the impact upon the social fabric of society is such that Goma, as well as all other communities touched by the volcanic activity, all but ceases to exist after the extent of tremendous devastation. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
