Nyumanzi Refugee Settlement

[1] After opening in January 2014, Nyumanzi has become the largest refugee settlement in Adjumani district in terms of population size[2] of approximately 43,000 men, women, and children.

In August 2014, LWF - Lutheran World Federation signed an agreement with UNICEF, aimed at reducing waterborne disease and supply strains.

[6] In December 2019, a violent clash occurred between the refugees and the host tribe which left 2 refugees dead, many injured and an unknown number of the host tribesmen seriously injured.

This was sparked by claims that a local Ma'di businessman was killed by refugees.

[7] But, as the settlement is mainly occupied by the Dinka tribe, there are very few cases of violence in the camp among the refugees[8]
