Volcanic earthquakes destroyed 40 homes and roads in Rubavu

In the aftermath of the Nyiragongo volcano eruption in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, earthquakes struck the Rubavu region in the Western Province, damaging people’s property and infrastructure.

Residents said small earthquakes can be felt during Saturday night and Sunday morning, but increasingly strong earthquakes started occurring from Sunday afternoon until Monday morning.

“The strong earthquakes started around 9 pm when my house started to crack. The crack in the wall became bigger this morning,” Solange Uymana, a resident of the Bayahi cell, Rubavu district, told the New Times on Monday.

According to data from the Rwanda Seismological Observatory, earthquakes mostly occurred in the Rubavu region but there were also tremors in Kigali and the Eastern Province.

In the town of Rubavu, a long slit in the land can be seen running through apartment houses and shops and a single road leading to the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

“The walls of my house have large cracks, and this is not because they are weak. The shivering occurred every five minutes on a Sunday night,” said Anthony Morikizi, a resident of Gisenyi district.

“Small cracks are part of a larger road breakthrough. We believe there is an underlying crack.”

Since Monday, officials have been monitoring the situation in Rubavu, and gathering information.

According to official figures, at least 40 homes were affected by the earthquakes.

“We spoke with the Rubavo region and we agreed to rent homes for these families for a period of two or three months, as the families are looking for ways to rehabilitate their homes,” Local Government Minister Jean-Marie Viani Gatapazzi told reporters.

He added that people should be careful when sharing any information about earthquakes and volcanic eruptions

The strength of the successive earthquakes varied. The seismic observatory said the strongest earthquake so far recorded occurred Monday at 10:37 am, with a magnitude of 5.1. It originated from Lake Kivu.
