Growing insecurity has triggered fresh South Sudan displacement leading to the number of new arrivals in Uganda to reach an average of more than 500 per day

The majority of the recent arrivals in Uganda are coming from the Equatoria states and Jonglei State. Most are being settled in Adjumani district.

UNHCR, the Government of Uganda and partners are increasing operational capacity in order to provide the new arrivals in Uganda with life-saving assistance.

An EXCOM donor mission from Geneva visited Uganda (Adjumani) to gain a deeper understanding of UNHCR and partners responses to refugee influxes.

Over 30,000 arrived from South Sudan to Uganda since the beginning of the year.
