The camp, located near a U.N. peacekeeping site in the Djugu territory, was reportedly infiltrated by fighters of a coalition of armed groups Sunday who carried out the massacre through the early hours of Monday. The victims were buried in a mass grave. The U.N. called the attack “a serious violation of international humanitarian law.”
