Tanzania Red Cross: Hygiene promotion among Burundi refugees

ENG

In April 2015, pre-election violence started in Burundi, resulting in a number of casualties in the capital of Bujumbura, and more than 96,000 people fleeing to safety in neighbouring countries of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda.

The majority are choosing to settle in Tanzania where the situation is dire and existing infrastructure is unable to accommodate the refugees’ needs. IFRC launched an emergency appeal to support 20,000 Burundian refugees in Tanzania and a FACT was deployed; a DREF was also launched to support the Rwandan Red Cross in responding to the influx of families there.

Key priorities for regional Red Cross Red Crescent response

  • Emergency water and sanitation and hygiene promotion
  • Emergency health
  • First aid
  • Shelter and non-food items
  • Psychosocial support
  • Restoring family links (ICRC)
  • Visiting persons arrested in relation to the violence (ICRC)
