Nyiragongo eruption

About 3 days ago, Mount Nyiragongo erupted in the Democratic Republic of Congo. 
There were some towns near the volcano and city called Goma with a population of 2 million. Many thousands of people were displaced. I wish peace and good health to all the people that were displaced by the volcano. I think some of them went all the way to Rwanda. 
The images I saw on the news was that of a hell scape, the clouds were glowing bright red and there were rivers of lava flowing down the mountain. 

Volcanoes help us to live, they release minerals and carbon that is trapped in the rocks below. I think that life on earth would find it hard to exist without volcanoes. The trouble is they cause a lot of chaos to us. I remember finding out about how Pompeii city was buried in ash from a volcano about the year 50 AD nearly two thousand years ago.
