Description :
Since early 2025, clashes have intensified in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, displacing hundreds of thousands of people across the region. Tens of thousands have fled to Burundi, where more than 80,000 Congolese refugees are seeking safety in overcrowded camps such as Busuma, Musenyi and Cishemere. This sudden influx has placed significant pressure on Burundi’s limited resources. The ICRC is working with the Burundi Red Cross Society to deliver humanitarian services, including water trucking and disinfection. Together, we are also helping families separated by the conflict to restore contact with their relatives.
