Burundi - Thousands of people fleeing the fighting in the DR Congo have crossed the border into Burundi in recent days.

In cooperation with Burundian authorities, MSF has sent a team to the province of Cibitoke to assess needs and provide emergency assistance.

The priority for MSF teams in Burundi will be to help people access primary health care through mobile clinics, improve access to water and prevent the risk of epidemics such as measles and cholera.
