Humanitarian crisis in CAR "at worst level to date"- Resident Coordinator


The humanitarian crisis in the Central African Republic (CAR) has reached its "worst level to date" this year, following increasing violence between armed groups, and government forces.

That's according to Najat Rochdi, who is the UN's Resident Coordinator in the country, and UN Development Programme (UNDP) Resident Representative.

She said the government of CAR was struggling to provide even basic services outside the two largest cities, and for many civilians in rural areas, access to aid is "the difference between life and death".

"One in four Central Africans is either a refugee or internally-displaced. Which renders reconciliation and rebuilding of the country, extremely challenging given the level of fragility and vulnerability of those people."
