Thousands of Congolese refugees are fleeing fighting in the Democratic Republic of the Congo by crossing Lake Albert in fishing boats or canoes to neighbouring Uganda. UNHCR teams are supporting the efforts of the authorities to receive the new arrivals. The agency said recently it was gravely concerned about escalating violence in Ituri province of north-eastern DRC, which has created some of the new displacement.
