schema:articleBody	A demonstrator died during a protest Tuesday in the DR Congo capital against the coronavirus lockdown closure of the main market, officials and witnesses said. Police fired warning shots at dozens of people who gathered at the site to demand the reopening of the Kinshasa market, AFP reporters said. Several demonstrators said the dead man was hit by a bullet, while the city's governorate said he was "electrocuted" while running away. It promised a "meticulous inquiry". Demonstrators stood their ground behind barriers that have since early April cut off the Gombe area housing the market as part of the fight against the spread of the virus. Belise Okonda, a governorate spokesperson, denied rumours the market was being knocked down. In a letter seen by AFP, Interior Minister Gilbert Kankonde ordered Kinshasha governor Gentiny Ngobila to reopen the market. However, the governor first wants work undertaken by the city authorities to improve health and sanitation at the market before any reopening. Meanwhile, the EU flew humanitarian and medical supplies to the Democratic Republic's eastern city of Goma on Tuesday as part of an airlift to help Africa during the pandemic. French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves le Drian and European Commissioner for crisis management Janez Lenarcic were aboard the flight after visiting the capital on Monday. At least 40 tonnes of aid including water purifiers and medical supplies, provided by the EU, governments and humanitarian agencies, are due to be shipped to DR Congo. Africa has so far been spared the worst of the pandemic, with 5,354 deaths recorded for nearly 200,000 cases compared to more than 184,256 deaths and 2.3 million cases in Europe. Brussels has set aside 3.25 billion euros ($3.67 billion) in grants and 1.4 billion euros in loans to help countries through the crisis. bmb/st/bp/ri
