Abstract
- Every day, we report on the situation in Rwanda because it grows increasingly critical. Just yesterday [July 20], thousands of refugees died of starvation or exhaustion.
- Cholera has even broken out in the camps, which house a total of nearly two million refugees. France has decided to increase its humanitarian aid, as have the United States, though some view this as a token gesture.
- Our special correspondent is in Kigali. He met a group of about twenty orphans who are trying to survive against all odds.
- A return to the Sainte-Famille church in the wake of the tragedy. The refugees have finally left the Kigali church where they had sought shelter for months. They have departed, but they left these children behind, some are orphans, while others simply have no news of their parents.
- They live down below in the old primary school, sleeping, eating, and living together. They rarely go out because they are afraid; they venture out only occasionally to visit abandoned houses in search of something to survive on.
- They have even appointed a group leader, likely simply because he is the oldest. He is 18.
- They have established some basic rules, yet violence persists. For a long time now, the law of the strongest has been the only rule in Kigali.
- They say they were promised help and are waiting for it. One of them has even decided to resume his studies, while the others say that can wait for later.
