Uganda and the UN have called for $8bn to help accommodate the country's huge refugee population, which has doubled within a year. The East African nation is experiencing the fastest growing refugee crisis in the world, with over 1.2m refugees from 13 different countries. Many of those crossing into Uganda are fleeing the civil war in South Sudan, as Catherine Byaruhanga explains.
