GENEVA (Reuters) - The situation at displacement camps in Burundi is extremely dire as the country experiences its largest influx of refugees, fleeing fighting in Congo, in decades, the UN's Refugee Agency warned on Friday.
Some 63,000 people have fled to Burundi, which neighbours the Democratic Republic of Congo, where violence has continued between the M23 group and the Congolese army, UNHCR said.
