UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) — Uganda, which already hosts 1.93 million refugees, is on the brink of hosting 2 million refugees by the end of 2025 due to escalating crises in Sudan, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Farhan Haq, deputy spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, said on Monday.
The crises in Sudan, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo are forcing an average of 600 people a day to cross borders in search of safety and life-saving assistance, Haq said at a daily briefing, citing the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Uganda is already the country hosting the largest number of refugees in Africa and the third largest in the world, he said.
Uganda's progressive refugee policy allows refugees to live, work and access government services, but funding shortfalls are dramatically impacting aid delivery and threatening to undo years of progress, he said.
Uganda's refugee response is currently only 25 percent funded and UNHCR is calling for more urgent and sustained international support and solidarity to ensure refugees and their host communities can live safer and more dignified lives, the UN Secretary-General's deputy spokesman said. –0–
