This weekly report is produced by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) as part of the United Nations Country Management Team (UNCMT) response to the influx of Burundian and Congolese refugees from Burundi. The report covers the period from July 18 to 24, 2016. The next report will be issued on August 01, 2016
Highlights
1,256 new arrivals (644 males and 612 females) composed of 1,177 Burundians and 79 Congolese were transported from the entry points in Kibondo, Ngara, and Kasulu districts to Mtendeli and Nyarugusu camps, and to Lumasi and Manyovo transit centers.
The relocation activities were put on hold due to on-going work in Mtendeli camp.
IOM’s fit-to-travel medical screening revealed that the top five medical conditions among the transported and relocated persons were: skin infections, upper respiratory tract infections (URTI), conjunctivitis, malaria, and genitourinary diseases.
