Kibumba Camp, Goma Region, Zaire. An estimated 800,000 of Rwandan, mostly Tutsis and moderate Hutus were slaughtered by their fellow Hutu countrymen during the 100 day genocide in April. By late July nearly 15 million Rwandans fled to Zaire. Among the survivors, over 100,000 are unaccompanied Rwandan children orphans, physically & mentally scarred from their experience of the genocide. UNHCR's Kibumba camp houses over 300,000 refugees. These refugees are mainly Hutus fleeing in fear of Tutsi reprisals after the Hutu Interahamwe massacres of Tutsis in the spring of 1994.
