Five refugees at the Dzaleka refugee camp in central Malawi were injured when a hand grenade exploded at the camp's main market Wednesday evening. The incident, the first at the camp, has caused panic and fear among refugees there, including Assana Abdullah, who is from Burundi. The Dzaleka refugee camp was meant to host about 12,000 refugees. Plans are under way to reconstruct the abandoned Luwani refugee camp to help ease the overcrowding at Dzaleka. Meanwhile, Lukajo said the U.N. refugee agency has suspended its activities at the Dzaleka camp until the security situation is rectified.
