humanitarian needs in the Democratic Republic of Congo and provide continued support to Burundian
refugees in the region.
The bulk of the funding announced supports humanitarian measures in the Democratic Republic of
Congo (€29.375 million) and refugees from Burundi in Tanzania and Rwanda (€4.3 million). The
remaining €600,000 are allocated to UN agencies in Burundi and to help refugees from the Democratic
