Poorer Countries Restrict Refugee Intake Due to Aid Cuts

Poorer Countries Restrict Refugee Intake Due to Aid Cuts

Poorer countries like Uganda, which used to welcome many refugees, are now closing their doors.

This is because they are not getting enough money from other countries to help the refugees.

Uganda used to be very generous, but now it can't afford to take in more people.

Other countries like Egypt, Kenya, and Ethiopia are also making it harder for refugees to enter.

Many refugees are now struggling because there isn't enough food, medical care, or land for them.

Some refugees are even going back to their home countries, even though it might not be safe there.

The United Nations and other groups are asking these countries to keep helping refugees, but the governments say they don't have enough money.
