Uganda, which is already home to 1.93 million refugees, is on the verge of hosting a further 2 million by the end of 2025 due to the ongoing crises in Sudan, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
These crises have been driving an average of 600 people per day to cross the border in search of safety and lifesaving aid, said Farhan Haq, deputy spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, at a daily briefing. He cited figures from the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).
