The number of refugees in DRC was mistakenly attributed to Rwanda in an IRIN article on Monday headlined: "Great Lakes: Humanitarian situation worsens significantly" [19990830]. There were, in fact, 282,000 refugees in the DRC and 33,711 in Rwanda as of 19 August, from a total in the Great Lakes region of 1,042,408, according to the UN OCHA report cited in the
article.
