Zaire – Medical Centre For Refugees

(4 Aug 1994) News spread quickly in the Kibumba refugee camp in Zaire on
Thursday (4/8) of the opening of a new medical centre by the
British Red Cross. The first patients, most of them seriously ill
victims of cholera and dysentry, were already waiting as it began
its work. The tented medical centre will be able to accommodate
around 400 patients at any one time. Hundreds of thousands of
Rwandan refugees are remaining defiant in the face of the
widespread disease, death and appalling condition in which they
live in the refugee camps around Goma and ignoring calls to return
to their homeland. Instead they are preparing to sit out the rainy
season, stripping surrounding forests of timber to assemble
makeshift homes
