Lindiro Jane has run from war twice. She first left South Sudan with her family back in 2016. They went to Uganda, where aid groups provided them with about $9 each month. The money helped them survive.
Aid money kept shrinking over the years. Her family eventually received just three dollars and fifty cents per person per month. Other refugees said going home was safe again. She decided to return to South Sudan with her family.
They farmed for five months. One morning, she heard gunshots and screams. Dead neighbors lay around her village when she returned home. Her family fled back to Uganda immediately.
President Trump cut all American foreign aid in January. Refugee support dropped even more. Families that once received $9 monthly now receive just $2 per person. Some may lose aid completely.
Approximately 1.9 million refugees reside in Uganda. Most came from South Sudan. International funding continues to decline even as new individuals arrive daily. Malnutrition rates among refugees jumped above emergency levels. Nine children have died from hunger since January. Health centers closed, and workers lost jobs. Many refugees face choosing between hunger in camps or danger at home.
