This press release reports on a second deadly landslide in five weeks at an artisanal coltan mine in Rubaya, North Kivu, eastern DRC, which has killed at least 56 children and is believed to have claimed more than 200 lives in total. Issued from Goma on 4 March 2026, the statement from World Vision condemns the recurring tragedy and highlights the dangerous working conditions in informal mining sites, where poverty and lack of alternatives force families, including children, to risk their lives. The organisation stresses that coltan, a key mineral used in mobile phones and other electronics, continues to fuel conflict and armed groups in the region. It calls for urgent humanitarian access, stronger child protection measures, sustainable economic alternatives for communities, and stricter regulation of the artisanal mining sector to prevent further loss of life.
