The number of South Sudanese people fleeing conflict and hunger who crossed its border has reached one million at the end of may's month. Uganda, this host country is offering refugees of conflicts an ID card , a plot of land of 900m² and the right to trade on its territory. However, with the influx of about 1,000 people per day and the lack of funding, Uganda is no longer able to feed every one. According to UNHCR human being needs at least 2,300 calories a day to survive which is about 12 kg of food per month. NGOs had to divide the rations and now giving only 6 kg of food per person per month. As a result, malnutrition, starvation and thefts are recurring.
