UNHCR calls on global community to increase support for Uganda's 1.7 million refugees

In a related development, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi has implored the International community to boost relief donations to Uganda to enable the government sustain over 1.7 million refugees. Uganda is Africa's biggest refugee hosting nation, but the government is struggling to meet the demands of these refugees. The call came during the UNHCR chief's visit to Rwamwanja refugee settlement in Kamwenge district where more than ninety nine thousand refugees live. The minister for relief, disaster preparedness and refugees Hillary Onek warned that Uganda would be overburdened even more, should the funding continue to dwindle. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda
