{Congolese refugees who are on a temporally settlement at Gihembe camp in Kageyo sector located in Gicumbi district, refused food support from world food program this week.}
These Congolese refugees stopped the car which was dropping down the sacks of maize and beans which were going to be supplied to them.
Representatives of the World food program were shocked and couldn’t understand, what was the main cause of the refugees to dismiss the food.
According to one of the representatives of the World food program in Rwanda, Jean Baptist Butera, the food was refused on the 12th November 2013.
Speaking to IGIHE, Butera added that “up to now we haven’t understood the cause of the dismissal but I think refugees thought food was already expired which wasn’t true, because it had just come from our stores in Kigali”.
After the refugees had dismissed the donations, a meeting between members of the world food program and the refugees was summoned at the Camp.
Currently, there is no clear information on why the refugees dismissed the food.
