Will F Cragin of the International Medical Corps said today that aid and UN workers knew rebels had occupied Luvungi town and surrounding villages in eastern Congo the day after the attack began on July 30.
More than three weeks later, the UN peacekeeping mission in Congo has issued no statement about the atrocities and said today it was still investigating.
Mr Cragin said his organisation was only able to get into the town, which he said is about 16km from a UN military camp, after rebels ended their brutal spree of raping and looting and withdrew of their own accord on August 4.
