Central African Republic - Aid for Over 2,000 People in Bambari

press release

Geneva — Thousands of people displaced by violence in Bambari, in the east-central part of the Central African Republic, continue to live in conditions of great hardship. To help relieve the strain, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Central African Red Cross Society distributed household essentials to more than 2,000 displaced people in Bambari from 30 July to 4 August.

Bambari was hard hit by violence at the beginning of July. "The humanitarian situation in the city is still critical," said Samuel Cadassou, an ICRC delegate in Bambari. "Many displaced people in and around the city are unable to reach the fields or markets. The fact that economic activity has not yet picked up affects people's basic ability to survive."
