U.N. officials say strife in Rwandan neighbor Burundi, also torn by Hutu-Tutsi tribal tensions, now threatens the main food supply to refugee camps in Rwanda and Zaire. Relief workers fear that starvation in some parts of Rwanda could spark a new exodus of 800,000 Hutus across the border. U.N. officials, equally worried, say such a mass movement of refugees might also be prompted by the planned Aug. 22 departure of French troops.
