Special assistance to countries receiving

The General Assembly,
Having considered the item entitled "Special assistance to countries
receiving refugees from Rwanda",
Bearing in mind the serious crisis which has shaken Rwanda to its very
foundations,
Deeply concerned about the massive presence of refugees from Rwanda in
the territories of neighbouring countries, namely, Burundi, Uganda, the United
Republic of Tanzania and Zaire,
Concerned about the evident impact of these massive flows of refugees on
the basic infrastructure and on the life and property of local populations in
the States which are neighbours of Rwanda,
Also bearing in mind the large-scale material destruction, the
deterioration of the economic, social and health infrastructure and the
ecological devastation in the areas receiving refugees from Rwanda,
Gravely concerned by the effects which epidemics in those areas are
having on the health of the populations of the countries receiving refugees
from Rwanda,
