collapsing due to the lava and earthquakes. Lava covered 13 percent of Goma, about 1.8 sqmi, and nearly 120,000 people were left homeless.

Immediately after the eruption stopped, a large number of earthquakes were felt around Goma and Gisenyi. This swarm activity continued for about three months and caused the collapse of more buildings.

Six months after the start of the 2002 eruption, there were signs of a possible eruption, but no eruption happened.
