The security situation as you can imagine is  extremely vulnerable, there's no way we can work under these circumstances.  But you  can be sure, we're terrified at what sort of conditions the refugees are going to face,  they have very little food right now, there's obviously not a lot of aid workers on the  ground to help them, but I have to say there's still some local aid workers distributing  aid to them - even as we are sitting here on the other side of the border escaping lots of  gunfire, there are people over there doing their job and that is just remarkable.\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION:  Michele Quintaglie, World Food Programme spokeswoman\u003cbr/\u003eThe United Nations estimates some 700 thousand refugees, mainly Hutus from  Rwanda, have fled camps in eastern Zaire.\u003cbr/\u003eThe grave humanitarian situation is aggravated by the departure of aid workers who  could have distributed food and medical supplies.\u003cbr/\u003eGunfire and mortars shook Goma early Saturday.\u003cbr/\u003eBut it isn't clear who - if anyone -  is controlling the city.\u003cbr/\u003eThe outskirts of Goma were deserted early Saturday as fighting moved to the central  and northern parts of the city.\u003cbr/\u003eThe remnants of war -- unexploded shells and ammunition litter the ground from recent  battles.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Red Cross headquarters - but no staff to be seen.  They have all left the fighting,  leaving vehicles and supplies to be looted.\u003cbr/\u003eA Swedish T-V cameraman was injured in Saturday's fighting.\u003cbr/\u003eBengt Stenvall is being treated at Gisenyi hospital for a flesh wound to his leg after two  unidentified uniformed men shot him with a  Kalashnikov.\u003cbr/\u003eJournalist colleagues escorted him across the border to a hospital in the Rwandan  border town of Gisenyi.\u003cbr/\u003eFellow journalists said he had lost a lot of blood and was suffering from shock - but was  going to be fine.\u003cbr/\u003eThese are Banyamulenge rebels who have been fighting Zaire's forces inside their own  country.\u003cbr/\u003eTutsi rebels already claim to have most of the major towns along Zaire's borders with  neighbouring Rwanda and Burundi.\u003cbr/\u003eThe latest violence in the region broke out after Zairian authorities ordered Tutsis off land  they have held for generations.\u003cbr/\u003eThen, Zairian government troops, Hutu refugees and vigilantes from other Zairian ethnic  groups began attacking Tutsi villages.\u003cbr/\u003eIn turn, Tutsi fighters and Rwandan soldiers retaliated, driving Zairian government forces  away from the key towns of Uvira and Bukavu.\u003cbr/\u003eThe leader of the Banyamulenge fighters said he is fighting on behalf of those  discontented with the leader of Zaire - a state, he said, that no longer exists.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We are fighting for a large movement which is borne out of the discontent of the people  to end the existence of this meaningless state (Zaire) which has ceased to exist.  There  is on one hand no leadership any more, but also the state has ceased to exist - Zaire.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Laurent Kabila, Banyamulenge leader\u003cbr/\u003eThe Banyamulenge leader is upbeat about his fighters' success despite Zaire's  President's claim to retain control of the provinces of North and South Kivu.\u003cbr/\u003e\"You see, from Bukavu to Goma is some 140 kilometres - we have covered all this  area.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Laurent Kabila, Banyamulenge leader\u003cbr/\u003eBut the fighting continues to push refugees already used to fleeing back on the move
