Uganda already hosts nearly two million refugees

Kampala, Aug 5 (Prensa Latina) The armed conflicts in countries such as Sudan, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) have already displaced nearly two million refugees to Uganda, local media reported.

Sources affirm that this migration is taking place amid a complex situation for humanitarian assistance, among other problems, due to the recent budget cuts for aid organizations implemented by US President Donald Trump.

Thousands of people have lately crossed the border daily in search of safety and aid to save their lives and those of their families, amid the armed clashes taking place in their countries of origin.

This situation has made Uganda one of the African nations with the largest number of refugees within its territory, and amid a profound humanitarian crisis.

According to data published by international organizations such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), since the beginning of 2025, an average of 600 people per day have arrived in the country, and the number is expected to reach 2 million late this year.
