What was left...

         This is a picture that does not even begin to describe how many lives were taken during the massacre in Rwanda. About one million Rwandans died in just one hundred days. As you can see in this picture some of the victims skulls were crushed or cracked. There were bodies everywhere in Rwanda. Many all over the streets and pilled up in big heaps or leaded against buildings. People that survived the genocide were lucky to do so but that does not mean that they are able to just forget about it. Most lost their entire families and ended up with horrific wounds to go away from it all with. They are also left traumatized and scarred from living through such a horrible experience and because of that, some suffer from mental disabilities. Not only were peoples lives destroyed but so were there hometowns, houses, schools, churches, business buildings, and hospitals. The massacre really left the Rwandans with nothing. Those who survived were left struggling to find food, shelter, and hiding places so they would not be seen and killed. Now there are still a lot of children in orphan homes and those who are not are of fighting on there own maybe even for their younger siblings too when they themselves are still so young. Imagine being only about ten years old and already having to start stressing about taking care of your family because you are the only one able to. A lot of women were left with sexually transmitted diseases from the genocide because their husbands were killed (most likely when trying to protect them) and then they were raped. It is a horrible thing to have happened and many many families are scarred from the horrific experience.
