Food For Burundi Refugees

The flood of refugees from Burundi into Tanzania is straining the resources of the World Food Programme's most complex operation ever. Because of a devastated local environment, refugees must walk three hours to gather firewood. Individuals receive only four liters of water, trucked in each day, for washing, drinking and cooking. Rations have already been halved for the relief victims and may come to an end unless WFP's appeals for food and funding can be met.
