Our dispatch from the border between Rwanda and Congo with Guerchom Ndebo: On one side of the lake, lovers glide on canoes and friends ride jet-skis. On the other, two miles away, dead bodies washed ashore and ammunition and discarded weapons littered the water.

🇨🇮 Most refugees we met live in dire conditions among local communities. Asylum centers accommodate only 20% of them. The World Food Program has halved a monthly stipend to $7.50 from $15. Refugee children do not go to school. Mental health support for those who fled the violence is nonexistent.
