The tragedy after Tutsi soldiers of the Rwandan army massacred Hutus in the Kebre refugee camp On October 3, 1994, the United Nations confirmed that a massacre occurred in Rwanda. A United Nations Security Council commission of inquiry has released an investigation report accusing Rwanda's Hutu tribes of carrying out massacres of the minority Tutsi tribe, killing at least 500,000 people. The report said the exact number of victims can never be confirmed and that 500,000 people were killed is only a very conservative number. Some members of the Hutu tribe carried out "planned, systematic, and deliberate" mass murder operations starting with the death of the president. Hutu bodies massacred by Tutsi soldiers were thrown into mass graves. In April, about 1.5 million Rwandans fled the country. About 27,000 children were separated from their families in the chaos. Aid groups took and posted photos of the unaccompanied children so that their families could identify them.
