Situation analysis
Description of the disaster
During August 2013, the situation for many Burundians in Tanzania worsened when the Tanzanian Government gave Burundians and Rwandese persons irregularly living in Tanzania a deadline of 14 days to leave the country – a deadline that expired on 18 August 2013. The threat of being expelled triggered population movement from Tanzania to Burundi. During August 2013, around 1,000 to 1,500 people arrived Burundi per day arrived, and towards the end of the year about 34 people crossed the border every day, including women, children, and vulnerable individuals.
Many of the returnees arrived without any belongings, and found themselves in a vulnerable position, in need of shelter and reception and re-integration support. The arrival of the rainy season further complicated the limited hosting capacities, and worsened the situation for the returnees.
