DRC / Burundi Refugees / 30-year old Ndaysenga and their children seat on their bed at a hospital in DRC's
South Kivu Province where they are being treated. Two of her children suffer from
malaria and the youngest who is just one-year old suffer from an abscess on his
neck.
7,661 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 500 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
