Uganda refugee crisis fundraising falls short of hopes at $358mn A fundraising summit for the refugee crisis in Uganda has failed to meet its initial target of two billion dollars for the next twelve months. The summit was organised by the Ugandan government and the United Nations to raise funds and draw attention to Uganda’s refugee crisis, which is the fastest growing in the world. The country is now the third-largest refugee hosting country in the world, with almost a million South Sudanese who are fleeing ongoing violence in the world’s youngest country. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
