A Child’s Nightmare: Field Report of Protection and Assistance Needs of Burundian Children and Adolescents

This report identifies key areas of concern for children and adolescents affected by the armed conflict in Burundi, particularly those currently in refugee camps. After providing some context on the situation of Burundian children both within their home country and in refugee camps outside Burundi, the report will consider why the needs of children (defined as newborns to 17-year-olds) remain significant despite years of service provision to Burundian refugees since the outbreak of war in October, 1993.
