To ask His Majesty's Government, following the recent visit to Nyankanda camp by the UN Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees, Kelly T.

The UK Government welcomes the visit by the UN Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees to the Nyankanda refugee camp in Burundi. The UK has funded humanitarian programming in Burundi over the last five years. Through a needs-based approach, our programming has targeted the most vulnerable returning refugees and Internally Displaced People providing shelter, protection, re-integration and livelihood support, as well as psychosocial and medical support and legal assistance.
