The Korean National Red Cross (KNRC) said Tuesday that it has provided 30,000 Swiss francs or $18,000 US dollars in emergency aid to the volcano-stricken Congo. On Sunday, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (ICRC) decided to amass 1.5 million Swiss francs for emergency relief for the victims of the volcanic explosion in the central African nation last week and appealed for donations from Red Cross organizations worldwide. Lava flows from an eruption of the volcano Nyiragongo have torn a wide swath of destruction through the town of Goma, leveling homes, igniting fires and killing at least 40.
