Sudanese and South Sudanese refugees at Boroli refugee camp in northern Uganda have complained about lack of basic services such as health and education in the area.

Hassan Kuku Tiya, a camp leader at the Boroli camp, told Radio Tamazuj yesterday that they are currently living in a dire humanitarian condition due to shortages of basic services, saying the services provided by humanitarian organizations are inadequate.

“Services are not enough compared to the number of the refugees, now there are poor health services, because the organizations are providing services, but the number of the refugees is growing,” said Kuku.    

He further said the camp was established in 2013 for South Sudanese refugees from the Murle tribe who fled from fighting before the signing of the peace agreement with the SSDM-Cobra faction in Pibor area, but other Sudanese refugees joined them later.

Kuku explained that about 47 households from the Nuba Mountains are currently living in the camp together with South Sudanese refugees. The camp leader pointed to poor services at the camp, while calling on organizations to provide adequate services to them at the camp.
