Congo-Kinshasa: DR Congo Crisis Forces Refugees to Swim for Their Lives to Burundi

In dire conditions at Musenyi camp in Burundi, over 12,300 refugees have settled amidst escalating violence and resource shortages, facing dire living conditions with cut food rations and flooded tents. The UN refugee agency notes a severe lack of dignity kits for nearly 11,000 women and children, while limited resources are straining aid agencies' ability to reunite separated families. Increased demands from refugees and the surge in sexual violence cases further complicate efforts to provide lifesaving assistance amid already overwhelming challenges.
