Uganda Refugee News July 2021

Updated: Feb 27, 2023

Welcome to Edition 19

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the disparity in the vaccination roll outs around the world, and the knock on effects, is stark. The impact is both as a result of the disease and well as the related lockdowns and whilst we have all had to make extreme changes, its acknowledged that the "[s]ocioeconomic impacts of COVID-19 are disproportionately high for the forcibly displaced." This is exemplified extensively in this month's newsletter but no more sadly than the terrible and wholly unacceptable news that 10 Somali refugees have died of starvation in Kampala. On a more positive note, COVID has also forced many of us to be more innovative, finding new, often more efficient, ways of working, something that hopefully will be the positive legacy of this pandemic.
