Burundi is also currently host to 121,560 refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs) as well as 33,000 Burundian returnees who came back from Mtabila camp in Tanzania following its closure at the end of 2012. Burundi's high population density creates a challenge for the Government of Burundi to find durable solutions for reintegration of IDPs and returnees. DFID will continue to monitor the humanitarian situation and in particular rainfall levels in the north of the country.</p> answering member constituency Hornsey and Wood Green answering member printed Lynne Featherstone question first answered 16/06/2014 15:37:55 answering member 1531 label Biography information for Baroness Featherstone
