As fighting and instability continues across the country, the humanitarian situation threatens to spiral out of control. To date, Save the Children has reached nearly 40,000 children, focusing on health, child protection and nutrition. In addition to our on-going humanitarian programs, we are currently supporting clinics and hospitals and setting up new child protection spaces in the capital, Bangui, to meet the needs of the thousands of people who have been displaced.
