3:41Now PlayingAfter a rapid advance, fighters from the ethnic Tutsi-led M23 rebel group have reportedly captured much of the eastern city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Goma is a vital trading hub, and within reach of mining towns supplying metals and minerals in high demand, such as gold, tin and coltan.
The UN says hundreds of people are wounded, bodies are lying in the streets, and an upsurge in rape and gender-based violence has been reported.
Fighting between the M23 and DR Congo's army has intensified since the start of the year, with the rebels seizing control of more territory than ever.
