DRC / Burundi Refugees / A child lies on his bed in a hospital in DRC's South
Kivu Province where he is being treated for malaria. More than 9000 Burundians refugees have crossed into the DRC over the past few weeks. The new
arrivals are being hosted by local families, but the growing numbers are straining
available support. UNHCR is helping some 700 vulnerable refugees at a transit centre
at Kavimvira and in another centre at Sange. Work is ongoing to identify a site
where all the refugees can be moved, and from where they can have access to
facilities such as schools, health centers and with proper security. / UNHCR / F.Scoppa / May 2015
