- At France's request, the UN Security Council demanded an immediate ceasefire in Rwanda to protect civilians fleeing the rebel advance.
- A first column of refugees. A little further on, another column. A road near the Zaire-Rwanda border. An estimated 1.5 million people are fleeing the fighting in a state of utter panic.
- To avert an unprecedented humanitarian disaster, the UN Security Council, at Paris's request, adopted a statement overnight, read by its president. "The Security Council demands an immediate and unconditional ceasefire" [Jamsheed Marker] and calls on the international community to respond urgently to the needs of refugees fleeing the advance of the Rwandan Patriotic Front.
- In Ruhengeri, in the northwest of the country, driven by the sounds of combat, refugees are moving toward the French security zone. A flight under fire, carrying only the bare essentials.
- A few kilometers away, another inexorable march. Not a complaint, not a glance. These are the first refugees to arrive in Goma on the Zaire-Rwanda border, the French base for Operation Turquoise.
- 300,000 as of last night [July 14]; 600 Rwandans are reportedly arriving in Goma every minute. Meanwhile, close by, those once called "rebels", now the victors, are celebrating their triumph over government forces.
