Nearly 90,000 people fleeing violence in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo have arrived in Burundi. They face harsh conditions in crowded camps with limited food and water, aid agencies say. The Congolese M23 rebels recently captured Uvira city near the Burundi border, pushing hundreds of thousands from their homes. Although the rebels claim to have withdrawn, the situation remains tense. Medical charity MSF reported treating 200 people daily in Burundi since the arrivals began. Zakari Moluh, MSF project co-ordinator, said, "We see people in a state of distress, despair and exhaustion. We see women who gave birth while fleeing, some that give birth in our clinic." MSF also warned about the risk of cholera, measles, and malaria among the vulnerable refugees. The UN refugee agency UNHCR highlighted that children and pregnant women are severely affected, with some going days without food. The World Food Programme (WFP) is scaling up aid to over 210,000 displaced people, including 71,000 new arrivals receiving hot meals in transit centers. WFP noted that services in South Kivu province are near collapse, with hospitals looted, medicines missing, and schools closed. The recent capture of Uvira expanded M23’s control after they took Goma and Bukavu earlier. The rebels were reportedly pressured by the US to leave Uvira, though Congo’s government disputes this. The US has accused Rwanda of backing M23 rebels, a charge Rwanda denies. While the rebels did not join the US-brokered peace deal between Congo and Rwanda, they are involved in a parallel Qatar-led peace process. Aid groups are calling for urgent funding to keep helping the displaced. For more updates, visit BBCAfrica.com.
