Uganda Nears 2 Million Refugees Amid Crises in Sudan, South Sudan, DR Congo| Firstpost Africa | N18G

Uganda, Africa’s largest refugee-hosting nation, is now nearing a record 2 million refugees amid escalating conflicts in neighbouring Sudan, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. An average of 600 refugees arrive daily, straining Uganda’s progressive but overstretched asylum system. The crisis is worsening due to severe aid shortfalls, with food rations slashed following U.S. funding cuts. Refugees now receive only a third of what’s needed to survive, prompting warnings from the UN of rising malnutrition, gender-based violence, and youth suicides. As global attention fades, Uganda faces a deepening humanitarian emergency with limited resources to cope.
