DRC / Burundi Refugees / 1 year-old Zawadi (which means "gift") lies on her bed in a hospital in DRC's South
Kivu Province where she is being treated for malaria and anemia. She arrived in DRC
with her mother and two siblings at the end of April.
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
