As thousands of people have crossed the border between South Kivu and #Burundi to seek refuge in Cibitoke province, Salimadi has dispatched a team to assess urgent needs and provide emergency assistance in cooperation with Burundian authorities.

While the Government is working hard to respond to this emergency, additional resources are urgently needed to meet the growing needs.

The situation in eastern DRC remains challenging, with recent clashes in South Kivu forcing more than 150,000 people to flee. At least 85,000 of them are living in recently established spontaneous sites for internally displaced people, where basic services such as water, shelter and access to health services are scarce. At the same time, rapid support to provide basic services in return areas in North Kivu is urgently needed, as increasing numbers of displaced families – around 80 per day from South Kivu – make the journey back to their villages.

With the exception of Burundi, the number of people crossing borders to flee the DRC since the start of the recent escalation of conflict has remained relatively low. However, UNHCR teams in neighbouring countries are preparing to provide assistance if needed.

This new influx is in addition to the 91,000 refugees and asylum seekers Burundi currently hosts, mainly from the DRC, many of whom have been in the country for decades.

UNHCR is grateful for the generosity shown to those fleeing the recent fighting in the DRC and encourages this outpouring of solidarity to continue. We reiterate our call for an immediate cessation of hostilities in the DRC to prevent further civilian suffering and to allow for lasting peace. We urge greater efforts to ensure the safety of civilians and their access to assistance.

Since we laughed out this project, we have a big challenge about lack of money, 

We have done small support, but now we need enough to face this problem comes  in DRC
