Comments:
The Bundibugyo district in Uganda shares common boundaries with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to the West and North and witnessed an influx of population movement from DRC. According to interviews conducted, the population movement was reportedly triggered by fighting within the areas of Buwisa, Butalinga and Bahumu beginning 9 July. Up to 600 people were reported to have arrived mainly through the Busunga border post beginning 11 July, with the numbers increasing steadily to an estimated 66,000 people as of 14 July.
