80,000 displaced in Bujumbura Rural

    NAIROBI
    The total number of displaced persons in Bujumbura Rural is now estimated to be 80,000, the latest OCHA-Burundi monthly report said. The report, received by IRIN on Tuesday, said a recent mission to Mutambu commune had found that food and non-food needs among up to 10,000 recently-displaced people at the Karinzi site were "not alarming", but relief assistance for children and other vulnerable groups was deemed necessary.
