Some 700,000 Tutsi were killed in Rwanda in 1994, and 1.2 million Hutu fled to neighbouring countries. The United Nations and the non-governmental organizations recently issued a document assessing the aid given. Several matters could have been better. Security in the camps, for instance, was a crucial problem and relief workers and armed forces were unprepared for the involuntary cooperation. Also, estimates of numbers of refugees were inadequate and such estimates were manipulated for political purposes. Relief organizations resorted too quickly to import of goods that were available locally, thereby making the aid unnecessarily expensive. The refugees themselves were involved too little in establishing relief priorities. Life of the original population round the camps was disrupted, a fact that received hardly any attention.
1994年，卢旺达约70万图西族人被杀害，120万胡图族人逃往邻国。联合国和非政府组织最近发布了一份评估援助情况的文件。有几个方面本可以做得更好。例如，难民营的安全是一个关键问题，救援人员和武装部队对这种非自愿的合作毫无准备。此外，对难民人数的估计不足，而且这些估计被出于政治目的而操纵。救援组织过快地求助于进口当地可用的物资，从而使援助成本过高。难民自身在确定救援优先事项方面参与过少。难民营周边原住居民的生活受到干扰，这一事实几乎未得到任何关注。
