4 Opera onal context Security incidents, poli cal tension financial sanc ons and rising food insecurity in Burundi led the deteriora on of the humanitarian situa on in UNHCR was however able to operate freely across the country. Some 175,000 people were displaced within Burundi and around 430,000 Burundian refugees were hosted in neighbouring countries. The number of Burundians fleeing their homes more than doubled in 2017, compared to The situa on in Burundi remained such that UNHCR could not comprehensively encourage or promote returns. However, UNHCR supported the voluntary return of 13,000 refugees from the United Republic of Tanzania to Burundi during the period of September to December Burundi has maintained its open door policy to asylum-seekers from the DRC, welcomed nearly 66,000 refugees and asylum-seekers at the end of Chronic underfunding of the Burundi situa on severely hampered the humanitarian response and the quality of assistance provided to the refugee popula on in asylum countries, par cularly in the areas of: recep on and registra on; child protec on; access to educa on; measures to combat SGBV; shelter; and food security. Popula on trends In 2017, Burundi hosted more than 62,300 refugees and some 3,500 asylum-seekers. Some 27,200 people of concern are residing in urban environments, while close to 38,700 are in the four camps of Bwagiriza, Kavumu, Kinama and Musasa. Furthermore, there were close to 175,000 IDPs and 970 stateless persons. During the year, close to 13,200 refugees returned to Burundi. Key achievements Following a tripar te mee ng in the United Republic of Tanzania between the Governments of Burundi and the United Republic of Tanzania and UNHCR in August 2017, some 13,000 Burundian refugees repatriated on a voluntary base between September and December As a response to the country-wide malaria epidemic, more than 5,000 impregnated mosquito nets were distributed to Burundian returnees and over 10,000 mosquito nets to refugees across the four camps. Unmet needs The chronic malnutri on rate is considered as cri cal (exceeding WHO s threshold of 40.5%) and could be explained by the massive influx of new refugees and also by the elimina on of cash assistance which allowed refugees to diversify their food intake. The lack of infrastructure remains as the primary cause to a limited access to quality educa on for refugee children. Classrooms are of poor quality and overcrowded in all four camps, with an average of 80 students per class in primary and secondary school. The increase of the cost of the brique es resulted in the reduc on of the amount distributed to each household. Although other sources of energy were being explored, brique es remained the only viable op on. Some households had to resort to using firewood or charcoal, which o en causes conflicts between the refugee and the host popula ons and exposes refugees to SGBV risks. edit (h p://repor ng.unhcr.org/node/20666/edit)
