Nearly 1.5 million refugees fled fighting and famine in South Sudan
South Sudan
Kampala - Arab Today
Some 1.5 million refugees have fled fighting and famine in South Sudan to neighbouring countries and thousands more are leaving daily, according to the UN refugee agency.
Charlie Yaxley, spokesman for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Uganda, said the agency estimated the total number of South Sudanese who have gone to neighbouring countries at 1.5 million, half in Uganda.
"We have already in the first two months of this year received 120,00 new arrivals. If this rate of inflow continues actually that figure for 2017 will be far higher," Yaxley said.
The UNHCR says the refugee crisis is the world’s third largest after Syria’s and Afghanistan’s.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
