The United Nations stabilizing mission MONUSCO says civilians, including children, were targeted.

The province of  Ituri  is one of those affected by the Ebola outbreak in the DRC.

The age-old violence between Lendu pastoralists and Hema herders, which has killed more than 200 people and displaced a further 30 000 since June ,   is one of the most serious challenges to medical staff trying to contain the epidemic.

People trying to flee this violence were cut down in the villages and displacement camps that came under fire from unidentified gunmen.

There has not been any comment yet from the DRC government or the United Nations.
