Camp congestion amid continuing influx

    NAIROBI

    People fleeing fighting in eastern DRC continued to arrive in western Tanzania, with some 5,900 new Congolese refugees registered at the Kibirizi reception centre last week, WFP said in its latest weekly emergency report. The report, received by IRIN on Tuesday, said efforts were being made to augment existing facilities at the Nyarugusu and Lugufu refugee camps to cater for the increasing number of refugees, who are
    receiving WFP food aid. Congestion in the camps has caused sanitary and environmental hazards, the report said.
