Lava floods Goma area as Nyiragongo eruption devastates city
Lava flows through Goma 160 feet wide and up to 10 feet deep destroying about 40 percent of the city. A 330-foot delta entered Lake Kivu as sulfurous steam rose. Aid is hampered by heat and lack of airfields. U.N. and Rwanda plan camps and relief, with cholera fears and water shortages.
