The High Commission for Refugees declared the arrival of more than 500000 people from the Democratic Republic of Congo to southern Sudan, during the past two weeks.
This was because they were attacked by the Ugandan LRA rebels.

He said that the estimated number of Congolese refugees that cross to yambio, southern Sudan daily, amounts to 150.
He explained that UNHCR has sent a team to the area yambio southern Sudan, to assess the needs of new arrivals, processing them with assistance.
