Warning: This video contains distressing content, including descriptions of rape, from the start. Women have recalled being raped at a prison in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, as chaos broke out after rebels advanced on Goma city. Rwandan-backed M23 rebels closed in on the city on 27 January after a rapid advance through the region. By morning, about 4,000 male inmates had broken out of the prison - they had also apparently started a fire which tore through the compound as they tried to escape - but few of the women managed to get away. A total of 132 female prisoners and at least 25 children burned to death according to two sources. A UN official told the BBC that "at least 153 women had perished", quoting "reliable sources in the prison".
