Recently, local officials in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) announced on the 15th that a gold mine in Haut-Uélé province in the northeast of the country recently collapsed, killing at least 30 people. Officials from Haut-Uélé province told the media on the same day that due to heavy rain, a local gold mine collapsed on the 13th, and a number of miners who were working underground were buried. As of the 15th, search and rescue personnel have found 30 bodies, and the number of victims may continue to rise. The mining industry in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is the pillar of the national economy, and the eastern region is rich in minerals, but illegal mining has been repeatedly banned, leading to frequent mining accidents. The government has shut down a number of artisanal mining farms this year.
