Saudi Arabia donates aid to Nakivale refugees
The government has received 12,700 food boxes, worth $500,000 or about UGX 185 million from the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre, to support vulnerable Congolese refugees in Nakivale. The donation comes as a lifeline to Uganda, which is home to over 1.7 million refugees, including 531,000 from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Despite facing a funding shortfall, State Minister for Disaster Preparedness Aber Lillian says that Uganda remains committed to supporting refugees and look forward to further collaborations to enhance humanitarian efforts.
