Key takeaway Le PAM a besoin de toute urgence de 35 millions de dollars afin de maintenir son assistance alimentaire et nutritionnelle aux réfugiés jusqu’en août 2027.
Why this matters
The situation in Burundi highlights the critical role of timely funding in maintaining humanitarian assistance to refugees. The World Food Programme's need for $35 million to sustain food and nutritional aid to Congolese refugees until August 2027 underscores the precarious nature of refugee support. Without urgent funding, the cessation of vital food distributions from October 2026 would exacerbate hunger, malnutrition, and desperation among refugee families, forcing them to adopt harmful survival strategies. The pressure on host communities and camps would also intensify, potentially destabilizing the region. The recent influx of over 100,000 refugees from the Democratic Republic of the Congo has more than doubled the number of refugees supported by the World Food Programme in Burundi, straining already limited resources. The persistence of conflict and regional instability threatens to create new displacement, emphasizing the need for sustained and reliable funding to address the humanitarian crisis.
