Heartbreaking scenes at #Uganda border. Scores of women & children fleeing horrific violence in #DRCongo arrive daily. Transit centres are overwhelmed. Since Jan, over 105k people have fled to Uganda & #Burundi. As the conflict rages, more people seek safety & need support now.

Two years. Nearly 13 million people displaced. UNHCR continues to respond across the region. But the humanitarian needs are as urgent today as when the crisis began. Please help: bit.ly/3O8QbxM
