The United Nations has disclosed more people may have been victimized in recent mass rapes in the Democratic Republic of Congo than previously thought. The UN now says some 240 women, girls and babies may been raped when Rwandan and Congolese rebels stormed the town of Luvungi, up from the previous estimate of 150. It took three weeks for the UN to respond, even though the town is just miles from a UN base.
