Tanzania camp overstretched by Burundi refugee influx
Tanzanian authorities say the camp hosting
refugees who fled unrest in neighbouring Burundi
is full and will have to be expanded.
Spokesperson for the Ministry of Home Affairs,
Isaac Nantanga, told Al Jazeera the Nyarugusu
camp, located close to the town of Kisulu, could
not accommodate the number of new arrivals in
its current form.
“The camp will not suffice for the the amount of
people who are coming. We have begun work on
building Nyarugusu II, which will be close to the
existing camp,” Nantanga said.
