Reports also suggest that in its aftermath thousands of people are injured and homeless. The full extent of humanitarian need is unknown at this time. But I can report that the United Nations High Commissioner for RefugeesUNHCR--has representatives in the area. and isprepared to undertake a relief effort among the refugees in cooperation with the International Committee of the Red Cross and other bodies. I understand that at least two of the countries that have received Burundi refugees have appealed for aid. I am hopeful these requests for aid will be expedited by the UNHCR. and that if additional funds are needed to carry out a relief effort in the area. the international community will generously respond. I am also hopeful that the Burundi Government will cooperate with and facilitate this international humanitarian effort.
