Appeal urges help for hosting refugees

    NAIROBI

    The appeal says that given the grim forecast for Burundi, it expected that Tanzania will continue to host large numbers of Burundian, as well as Congolese, refugees. Over US $59 million is required to meet various humanitarian needs in this country. “The challenge will be to ensure minimal humanitarian assistance to refugees while providing support to the government to deal with security aspects,” the appeal document said. It added that climatic factors could result in drought affecting food security, particularly in central parts of the country.
