Some six thousand people, mostly women and children have fled into Uganda after a recent attack on Pajok town in South Sudan.
Auma Lucy Yubuan escaped and walked for two days to reach the refugee center in Lamwo District, Uganda.

When attack happened, Auma and her children ran in different directions. They found each other at the border.

Some 1.7 million South Sudanese refugees are living in exile as the brutal conflict pushes even more people into neighbouring countries.
Most of them – some 830 000 are sheltering in Uganda
The new arrivals are stretching Uganda’s limited resources to the limit.
SOUNDBITE (English) Agnes Kanyonyi, UNHCR Emergency Response Team:
“Of course you see we need this emergency water, we need shelter. We need medical, we need food and attending these child protection issues.”
Only eleven percent of the funding needed by UNHCR and partners to respond to world’s fastest growing refugee crisis has been received so far.
