*The National Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless persons (ONPRA) and UNHCR are conducting a verification exercise targeting 50 000 refugees living in Burundi in order to update their data (birth, wedding, specific needs…) with a view to improving their protection. About 9 500 refugees have already been interviewed in Bwagiriza camp where the verification is expected to end during the first week of May.
