Wildfires

Wildfires - Uganda

Drought coupled with strong winds is fuelling wildfires across Karamoja in sweltering heat.

Families in the region specifically Napak, Nakapiripirit, Moroto and Kaabong districts continue to battle numerous wildfires to protect their properties from destruction. So far, over 70 homes in Irriri, Lotome, Lokopo in Napak and 10 in Rupa Sub County in Moroto district have been destroyed in the last two months.

Fast moving bushfires continue to blaze across Karamoja dry terrain threatening the destruction of settlements.
