A truck killed a Congolese teen at a refugee center. Lydia Mbakemiye stood among asylum seekers at the Nyakabande reception center when the vehicle struck her. The 16-year-old from North Kivu died instantly during midday registration.
Witnesses saw people moving away from the UNHCR truck. Mbakemiye returned to her spot and was hit without warning. Police confirmed her death and sent her body for examination.
The center hosts thousands fleeing violent rebel conflicts. Over 6,000 asylum seekers currently seek protection from regional unrest.
