Humanitarian conditions at refugee camps in Burundi are deteriorating following a surge of refugees fleeing fighting in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Aid agencies are warning that humanitarian pressure is intensifying, with many camps and transit centres struggling with overstretched health, water, and sanitation systems.
