Tanzania: Refugee families face shelter crisis

Thousands of Burundian refugees are living in terrible conditions in camps in Tanzania because of a funding crisis. Some who arrived two years ago are still living in emergency tents. UNHCR and its partners are starting to move refugees into transitional shelters, and supporting a project where refugees are able to help build their own. Though it offers hope for the future, more funding is needed to help thousands of refugees still living in fragile conditions.
