1 million in cash transfers. This support comes amidst a backdrop of heightened vulnerability, as the country grapples with the risk of Ebola importation and a deteriorating food security situation among Congolese refugees.
The Ebola threat in Burundi is exacerbated by outbreaks in neighboring countries, particularly the Democratic Republic of Congo. Despite funding gaps, the government, alongside the World Health Organization (WHO) and UN partners, is working to reinforce preparedness measures.
A post — distribution monitoring report indicates a decline in food security among Congolese refugees in Burundi. Households are experiencing reduced dietary diversity and are increasingly resorting to negative coping strategies, highlighting the urgent need for sustained support.
Additionally, the return of 4,460 refugees to the Democratic Republic of Congo through government and UNHCR-organized facilitated convoys has been supported by WFP, which provided a 3-day food assistance package to those returning.
The WFP’s efforts in Burundi are part of a broader response to the country’s complex challenges, including economic difficulties and political tensions. High inflation and recurrent fuel shortages have compounded the population’s struggles, making it harder for families to afford basic necessities. Despite these challenges, the WFP remains committed to supporting the people of Burundi, having previously distributed aid to nearly 1 million individuals in April 2026.
The situation in Burundi underscores the interconnectedness of global challenges and the need for coordinated, targeted responses to address the root causes of humanitarian crises.
