The 2002 eruption of Mount Nyiragongo in the Democratic Republic of the Congo resulted in approximately 147 injuries. The eruption caused significant destruction in the nearby city of Goma, leading to the displacement of thousands of residents. While the exact number of casualties varies in reports, the impact on the local population was severe, with many facing health and safety challenges in the aftermath.
Approximately 100 people died in the eruption of the Mount Nyiragongo volcano in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2002. Thousands were left homeless due to the destruction caused by the eruption.
About 147 people died when Mount Nyiragongo erupted in 2002. They victims died of asphyxiation from the large quantities of carbon dioxide in the air.
It has been erupting continuously for the past 2,000 years.

Yes, the authorities had issued warnings and evacuated areas at risk prior to the eruption in 2002. However, there were still challenges in managing the situation due to the unpredictable nature of volcanic events.

Nyiragongo is associated with a formation called the East African Rift, a region in which Africa is being pulled apart by geologic forces. As the African plate is pulled apart, the crust becomes thin. The decreases pressure on the extremely hot rocks of the upper mantle, allowing them to melt. This molten rock, called magma, then rises up through the crust to form volcanoes such as Nyiragongo.
In 2002, Mount Etna erupted, causing damage to buildings and roads on the eastern side of the volcano. Ashfall and lava flows resulted in the temporary closure of Catania airport. There were no direct casualties, but the eruption disrupted daily life for local residents.
