NPR's Jennifer Ludden reports from Goma, Zaire that shelling forced the suspension of the first attempt to deliver aid to the city today. Relief groups stopped passing out food after four shells slammed into the city. The shells presumably were fired by Rwandan Hutu rebels holed up in a refugee camp outside Goma. The attack came after Zairean Tutsi rebels--who control Goma--fired on an unidentified plane which flew over the city. The incidents underline how hard it will be to organize a massive aid effort for the one million mostly Rwandan refugees stranded by the recent fighting in eastern Zaire.

NPR's Jennifer Ludden reports from Kigali that Zairean Tutsi rebels today declared a unilateral three-week ceasefire. The guerrillas say the truce is designed to give more than one million Rwandan Hutu refugees in Zaire a chance to go home. In the past two weeks, the rebels have captured all of the main cities along Zaire's border with Burundi and Rwanda, and foreign relief agencies have evacuated their staffs. There is little hope the refugees will return to Tutsi-controlled Rwanda, and relief groups say shortages of food and medicine could soon lead to mass starvation and epidemics among the refugees.
