The Rwandan Government estimated the death toll to be 338.

The reason for the massacre was an attempt to root out possible fugitive ''génocidaires'' hiding in the camp due to the fact that the camp contained mostly Hutus. It is one of the earliest examples of [[collective punishment]] of Hutus by the RPF after [[Paul Kagame]] took command of the country.
