There are about 3.3 million people who are displaced in South Sudan, about one third of the population. Out of that, we have about 1.48 million who are fleeing to neighbouring countries. As I said a few minutes ago, the majority of them are in Uganda, Ethiopia, and then Sudan, but we also have some people in Kenya and in the DRC.
That situation is quite problematic, as you can imagine. Canada, with the support of the international community, has been very active in supporting those people, either through humanitarian assistance—we provided about $45 million in humanitarian assistance in 2014-15 to South Sudan—or through supporting a number of UN organizations that are providing assistance to refugees in the neighbouring countries of Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda. In 2016 alone, Canada provided about $11.3 million to Ethiopia through the UNHCR, the WFP, and others to support refugees in Ethiopia; about $9.5 million to support refugees in Kenya; and $3 million to support refugees in Uganda.
We've been very active in helping to really focus on the poorest and the most vulnerable, wherever they are. With the support of the international community, we will continue to support those people.
