Tanzania refugee crisis
Report Synopsis
Date: 2015/05/22
On 21 May 2015 we responded to a funding alert in response to the Burundian refugee crisis in Tanzania.

The announcement of Burundian President Pierre Nkurunziza running for an unconstitutional third term in the June 2015 presidential elections has led to public unrest and threats forcing thousands of Burundians to seek refuge in neighbouring countries.

On 17 May 2015, UNHCR announced that over 70,000 Burundian refugees had arrived in Tanzania since the start of the unrest in early April. A Tanzanian regional health official has announced that 33 Burundian refugees have died from the cholera outbreak in a refugee camp in northwest Tanzania.

According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA)’s Financial Tracking Service (FTS), EU Institutions (ECHO) are the only donor to Tanzania in 2015, committing/contributing US$3.3 million to the crisis. There is currently no UN-coordinated appeal for Tanzania in 2015.
