Hundreds of men. women and children have been abducted. raped. sold into forced labor. Worst of all. young children are being inducted into combat and taught to kill before they are old enough to recognize what they are doing. Approximately onequarter million refugees from Sierra Leone have fled into neighboring Guinea and Liberia. The locationof the refugee camps does not allow for provision of adequate relief. and it is essential that the ECOMOG forces be able to conquer the rebel forces. which unfortunately are receiving arms from some unknown sources. There is poor security. a lack of resources and minimal access to these camps. resulting in hundreds of deaths simply because the aid forces are not able to reach those needing relief. Arms and weapons continue to be supplied to the rebels in direct violation of the United Nations arms embargo.
