Uganda's refugee policy under strain as conflicts intensify

Season 2026 Episode 99 | 9m 07s

Conflict in the Middle East has drawn attention away from other devastating wars, including in Sudan, where millions of civilians have been displaced and forced to flee to neighboring countries. It comes as nations have reduced refugee assistance, leaving humanitarian agencies scrambling. Special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro reports from Uganda, one of the region’s destinations for refugees.
