WFP Tanzania Burundian Refugees Situation Report #08, 07 July 2015

The influx of new Burundians into Tanzania stands at over 73,000 according to UNHCR reports dated July 6.

This brings the total refugee population at Nyarugusu Refugee Camp to 139,000. UNHCR has revised the Burundian influx planning figures from 70,000 to 150,000 (this includes the 73,000 new Burundian refugees already in country since end April). The daily rate of arrivals has gone down over the past several days. However, Nyarugusu Refugee Camp continues to be overcrowded. Meanwhile, UNHCR remains in discussions with the government over the location/camp where new Burundian refugees will be transferred.
