Currently, more than 5,500 individuals are seeking shelter in various centers across Rubavu alone, with additional centers established in other districts. These individuals have already experienced the devastating loss of their homes due to the disaster. Over 9,000 people have been displaced.
Resettlement and expropriation compensations have been raised by the latest Auditor General’s report among the delayed payments with the government currently owing over Rwf3.34 billion to expropriated and displaced families. Some payments have delayed for four years.
