Some 115,000 Burundian and Congolese refugees living in Tanzania's Nyarugusu camp will be vaccinated against cholera
in a mass campaign to be carried out by Doctors Without
Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières this month. A cholera outbreak was
declared in mid-May when thousands of Burundian refugees fleeing
political unrest arrived at the camp, almost doubling its size.
According to official figures, 3,086 cases of cholera resulting in 34
deaths have been reported in Tanzania to date.
