Situation update
WFP’s C.A.R. Regional Emergency Operation (EMOP) 200799 began on 1 January 2015 and spans across five affected countries. Over half a million people were reached with WFP food assistance across C.A.R., Cameroon, Chad, D.R.C. and R.o.C. in October alone.
Instability continues to trigger displacement and hamper the return of populations. With the December elections looming, analysts point to a potential further instability inside the country, and a significant risk of additional displacement into neighbouring countries.
Preliminary results of the latest 2015 Emergency Food Security Assessment (EFSA) in C.A.R. show that an estimated 2.5 million people (half of the population) are moderately or severely food insecure. Specifically, 15 percent of the population is severely food insecure. This is a catastrophic deterioration compared to results of the EFSA conducted in September 2014 when 1.3 million people were affected. Against this background, the EMOP will be extended through 2016, and operational needs across the five countries will be adapted to recent assessment findings in the respective countries.
