MAF CHANGES THEIR WORLD ONE FLIGHT AT A TIME

Disaster unfolding for thousands in Uganda

There are an estimated 1.54 million displaced people in Uganda, who have escaped violence in neighbouring South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This is the highest number of refugees in any African country.

Ruth Jack, Country Director for MAF Uganda, says an end to a vital international funding stream which facilitates huge WFP aid programmes imminently could be ‘catastrophic’ for a nation with over 35,000 refugees arrivals since the start of the year. She explains the situation:

‘We are already seeing hunger-related problems such as stunted growth in children across Uganda’s refugee camps […] I can hardly imagine more than one million refugees left without food or cash support. It’s a very big concern, and thousands of lives are in danger.’

MAF’s weekly shuttle flights offer regular access to many of Uganda’s refugee camps in the north and west at heavily subsidised rates, ensuring safe, quick transport, replacing days on dangerous roads. Demand for MAF flights will only intensify as NGOs respond to the unfolding funding crisis. In direct response, MAF is launching a new shuttle service to the Southwest of Uganda this autumn to help thousands who continue to flee violence from neighbouring DRC.
