Donor Update - 28 September 2005
Armed conflict between the Uganda People's Defense Force (UPDF) and the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), now in its 19th year, has created a severe humanitarian crisis in which the rights of children and women to basic health, education, water and physical security remain largely unfulfilled in the north of Uganda. Over 80% of the 1.4 million internally displaced people in Uganda are children and women, who live in more than 200 camps scattered across different districts. A recent UNICEF-WHO survey has found alarming mortality rates among displaced children under the age of five in three conflict-affected districts.

Donor Update - 28 February 2005
The North of Uganda is one of the world's largest forgotten emergencies. 1.4 million people have fled from their homes and thousands of children commute at night to sleep in shelters in fear of abduction by the Lord's Resistance Army. UNICEF's activities in favour of these populations for 2005 include the immunization of infants and pregnant women in IDP camps, treatment of malaria, pneumonia and diarrhoea, screening and treating of malnourished children, HIV/AIDS counselling, support in the fields of water and sanitation, and education. Other activities in immediate need of funding are the process of reunification of abducted children with their parents and providing shelter and household articles for IDP families.

Donor Update - 22 December 2004
Violence, displacement and poverty attendant to northern Uganda's child-centric armed conflict are exacerbating an already stained humanitarian situation, while the rights of children to health services, water, primary education and protection are not fully attained in the conflict-affected districts. Approximately 1.4 million people, 80% of them children and women, are displaced in the eight conflict-affected districts. UNICEF's accelerated humanitarian response is conducted in close coordination with the local governments, WFP, OCHA and NGO implementing partners, in the eight conflict-affected districts of Gulu, Kitgum, Pader, Lira, Apac, Soroti, Katakwi and Kaberamaido.

Donor Update - 28 September 2004
The 18-year old armed conflict between the Government of Uganda and the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) continues to inflict dire humanitarian consequences on the lives and livehood of children and women in northern and north-eastern Uganda. Every night, an estimated 44,000 children leave their homes to sleep in urban centres for fear of LRA attacks and abductions. In addition, some 12,000 children remain in custody of the LRA, serving as child combatants and sex slaves. In response to the prevailing humanitarian needs, UNICEF, in cooperation with its partners, has been implementing emergency activities in the eight conflict-affected districts. However, only 45 per cent of the US$ 14.3 million appeal requirement has been covered. Funds are urgently required to support activities in health, nutrition, water and sanitation, and for children in armed conflict.
