The European Commission allocates additional ˆ4 million in humanitarian aid for displaced people in Northern Uganda

On September 29 the Commission announced that it has allocated ˆ4 million to improve the humanitarian situation for more than one million internally displaced people (IDPs) living in camps in Northern Uganda. They have been displaced as a result of the rebel Lord's Resistance Army insurgence. A recent cessation of hostilities means that a number of camp-based IDPs wish to go back home. The Commission's humanitarian aid focuses on those who can safely return. At the same time, it aims to improve living conditions in the camps for those with few opportunities for return in the near future. In January, the Commission provided ˆ15 million in humanitarian aid for vulnerable people in northern and central parts of the country.
