The resurgence of violence in Democratic Republic of Congo's Ituri province has caused an increasing number of refugees to flee to neighboring country Uganda and take on a life in exile since the start of June.

Because of the renewed clashes between opposing Hema and Lendu groups in north-eastern parts of the DRC, Congolese refugees are now across the border into Uganda at a rate of around 310 a day, more than double the rate of refugee arrivals in May which stood at 145 per day.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees says that more than 7,000 people have so far arrived in Uganda's southwestern district of Hoima.

Jackie Nyakofa is a 46-year-old mother of six children. She fled the DRC with little more than the clothes on her back. She speaks of extreme brutality by armed groups and indiscriminate killings.

"We fled Congo because of the war, the war had intensified, there is no peace, and there are a lot of killings so we decided to run to Uganda," said Nyakofa.

Jackie Anijor is another Congolese refugee who fled her home in June when men with machetes attacked their village.

She says her five children were killed by the militia, leaving her heartbroken with no hope for a better future.

"We ran into the bush and that's how we survived. A good Samaritan later picked us up and that's how we survived the wrath of the Lendu," said Anijor.

Some of the refugees are reportedly being prevented from leaving DRC by armed groups, while others struggle to afford the fee for the dangerous boat journey, a sum equivalent to less than six dollars.

For those refugees who have arrived Uganda successfully, shelter and basic relief items are the urgent priority. They are being transported from the Sebagoro landing site to the reception centers and eventually to settlement areas allocated by the Ugandan government.
