Human Rights Watch has reported that Rwandan forces and M23 rebels have shelled refugee camps and densely populated areas in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) multiple times this year. The organization has raised concerns about potential violations of international humanitarian and human rights laws in its findings. The report also criticizes the DRC's armed forces and their allied militias for endangering the lives of camp residents by positioning their artillery in close proximity to these vulnerable populations. This situation highlights the ongoing conflict in the region and the risks faced by civilians amidst the violence.
