UNHCR says 1.5 million South Sudan refugees fled to neighbouring countries UGANDA (5 Mar.) Some 1.5 million refugees have fled fighting and famine in South Sudan to neighbouring countries, the UN refugee agency said on Thursday.Charlie Yaxley, spokesman for the UNHCR in Uganda, said the organization estimated the total number of South Sudanese who have gone to neighbouring countries at 1.5 million, half in Uganda. Yaxley further said there were thousands of new arrivals every day. He pointed out that the UNHCR had planned for 300,000 this year.“We have already in the first two months of this year received 120, 00 new arrivals. If this rate of inflow continues actually that figure for 2017 will be far higher,” Yaxley said. -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
