UGANDA: REBELS ATTACK AREA AROUND ANGLICAN HOSPITAL

(Tear Fund, UK) Kagando Hospital, an Anglican Hospital in north east
Uganda, has become a haven for people fearing rebel attack in the area.
On 6 October an estimated  18 people were killed by rebel forces in the
area around the hospital.  The hospital is in a small remote village and
is a major local institution, employing many from the surrounding area.
It has become a place of refuge for nearby communities, putting a strain
on its resources.
