Uganda - Humanitarian Assistance for South Sudanese Refugees - Doctors Without Borders 2018
March 2018 – Uganda hosts the largest number of refugees in Africa, more than 1.4 million, with roughly two thirds of them having arrived from South Sudan since July 2016. This large and rapid influx has strained the humanitarian response capacity in northern Uganda to near breaking. New refugee settlements almost immediately reach full capacity, while service providers struggle to meet the most basic needs of the community. Overall, South Sudanese make up more than three quarters of the refugee population in Uganda (more than 1 million people). With GAC’s support, Doctors Without Borders Canada is providing support for much-needed healthcare, including sexual and reproductive health, for an estimated 90,000 South Sudanese refugees and host communities in the Arua and Yumbe districts of Uganda. Activities include providing staff, training, equipment and supplies to local health facilities.
