At least 17 people have been reported killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo as rebel forces claim to have captured the eastern city of Goma.
The M23 militia has been fighting government forces and United Nations peacekeepers. The UN is warning of a humanitarian crisis. Thousands of civilians have fled across the border into Rwanda, which is accused of backing the rebels. There are reports of troops firing at each other across the frontier. Goma is home to around two million people, including many already displaced by the conflict.
