Central African Republic: UN Must Urgently and Radically Change Its Humanitarian Response

press release

Brussels — As UN humanitarian organisations agree to further mobilise resources in response to the humanitarian crisis in Central African Republic (CAR), MSF has released an open letter addressed to Valérie Amos, the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, expressing that this decision has to be urgently translated in reality.

It urges that until now, UN organisations have failed to deliver an adequate response to the gravity and the scale of humanitarian needs on the ground. The Inter-Agency Standing Committee, a decision making forum involving the main UN humanitarian organisations, has decided to strengthen its humanitarian response in CAR, meaning it will deploy more resources to respond to the crisis.
