A total of 197,269 Burundian refugees and asylum-seekers have arrived in the neighbouring countries of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the United Republic of Tanzania, Rwanda, as well as Uganda and Zambia since April 2015. The situation in Burundi remains volatile with continued incidents of sporadic violence in the country.
In Tanzania, due to ongoing preparations to ensure access to facilities and provision of assistance, relocation from Nyarugusu to Nduta camp is to begin on 7 October (instead of 1 October as initially reported).
